The Fall of Monstrosity

Duel in Limbo
"I guess this is the end. My only regret now is not being able to see whether or not you walk the same path as I did. Joseph, I..." "Damn you, Kazeem."

- Kazeem and Joseph

After the fight, Joseph and Monstrosity ended up within the realm inside Monstrosity's heart, where their fight continued for what seemed to be days upon end. After long days of fighting, Monstrosity finally understood what Joseph's true goal was in their fight: to not only save Kyle, but to save the person Monstrosity once was in the light. Monstrosity was touched that someone would be willing to risk their life to save someone they hardly even know, even though they were enemies.

Monstrosity then, at that moment, faded away and Kazeem Barrett, or Kazeem of Jerusalem as he was known, was reborn- the first time Joseph ever used his power of Redemption, albiet instinctively. Though Joseph's efforts were successful, Kazeem had grown weary and was on the verge of death, turning to Joseph, he expressed his regret at not being able to see whether or not Joseph will walk down the same path he did, he then started to say something else but faded into dust before he could finish. Joseph, in anger and sadness, curses Kazeem, then collapses as the realm around him does the same.
