As he kept fighting the gods， Lance's Demon Pike ate into his body even further. In the midst of everything， Lance unleashed his pike's ultimate power and flung it across a great distance in order to defend himself from a series of sniper attacks that had been continuously targeting him. And though this attack was successful in taking down the sniper， it consequently sped up the rate at which the Demon Pike was deteriorating his body. Moments later， a lone knight showed himself before him to deliver a message. It is said that an expression of relief came over Lance's face upon hearing the knight's words， after which he turned into a great tree whilst embracing the Demon Pike.
