Seeing the attack coming, Ash didn't move.
He let her claws sink into his stomach.
A brutal, visceral pain tore through him as the demonic energy slithered inside, sinking into his veins like corrosive acid.
His nerves screamed, his body twitched involuntarily, and blood sprayed from his lips. His muscles tensed, the corrupting mana twisting inside him like writhing snakes.
Leira's eyes widened.
She had flash of realization just then.
Then—
"Got you, bitch," he said his voice strained yet dripping with amusement.
If the darkness of his cloak didn't obscure his face, she would have seen the mocking smirk tugging at his lips.
And then—
[Lightning Wrath]
BOOOOOOM!!!!!
A pillar of pure lightning exploded from his body, its deafening roar drowning out all sound.
The storm of raw, unchained destruction consumed them both, turning the already broken dungeon into an electrified warzone.
