Chapter 42
Lightning86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwdAv7R3K3
cracked in the sky overhead. A light drizzle started to fall from the sky86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudFXtvlsy3
wetting the area within minutes. Everything had happened so quickly that the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5XTiwY8mL
Serpents were still in shock. This wasn’t how anything was supposed to go, but they86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFt9GpUTj
still had some time to do some damage control. Batiste started shouting orders86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQxCu1pebb
to his soldiers who quickly sprang into action. Vander could feel Eliza86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxZjFx6LL
crawling over to him from her spot on the ground as the Serpent holding her ran86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y7S9a80Zc
away.
“What86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmlQOmfzC
should we do?” she shouted at Vander. “My abilities are going to be useless86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vKu4bTtQn
soon. If you want me to do something it will have to be soon.”
“Don’t86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMtxiB8ilS
use your powers.” Vander said calmly. “It will wear you out and I will need you86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx42wvx2NT
to get the Queen to safety.”
“What86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU35sSmF1z
about you?” she asked.
“I86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIMLcjJtPa
have to take care of that beast before it goes out of control.” Vander86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx7LNZsI5d
explained. “I will handle things here, just get her and yourself, to safety.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3CsqSBGGa
After that, Vander gently pushed her away. Sighing, he gave away control to the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHA4wydqKv
demon inside.
He86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZd5Pkiel
fell to his knees screaming in pain. The Serpents stopped their charge to watch86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4paNRedo9
as he writhed on the ground. His entire body was aflame before he was launched86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYcbXveSrH
outside as his form began to warp. Thick white fur sprouted, covering his86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfYOxpoLEu
entire body. His limps snapped and cracked as the bones broke and reformed. His86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVh9cmDN4m
clothes were shredded entirely leaving loose strands. His fingers turned to86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkHn20pj5J
claws and his teeth fell from his mouth only to be replaced by sharp fangs.
The86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxjkQtQE6O
two predators created by Unna circled each other hungrily. Vander could tell86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKdqoP98jY
that Peyton was gone, only the beast remained. He hadn’t lasted long at all86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSnTKlC3UM
with the power flowing through his veins, but Vander didn’t expect that he86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ368wAd6wEl
would. All of Unna’s chosen had a strong will and Peyton only cared about his86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YS1GQU2Y0
power and wealth than anything else. However, that didn’t mean this was going86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGrPldSl7d
to be an easy fight.
The86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBgmp7mHx9
two of them lunged at each other, clawing scratching, and tearing each other86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqbS87yCu7
apart. White and brown fur went flying as they tore chunks out of each other.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6S0jP4k4f
Vander bit back the pain. He was only focused on killing the creature in front86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHggiFNYYde
of him, nothing else would matter.
As86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT0WZe0gj5
they slashed at each other, the demon and Vander switched off, using their86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANVcAREGzd
skills in tandem to overwhelm their opponent. As Peyton slashed at him, Vander86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TCsnhhJQN
sidestepped then brought both his knee and elbow together breaking his arm.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3jVIPI65C
Then he grabbed the creature around the neck and using his strength, threw him86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYSl7koPmN
towards the Serpent holding Kiara. Knowing that this was her chance, Kiara86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUfDWfEgP
brought her elbow up, catching her captor in the face, then dodging to the side86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvioW4WTR9V
as Peyton’s claw tore that man apart. Eliza got to Kiara quickly and together86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM6gsSWBMA
they disappeared into the building behind them.
With86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoGZx106cU
a furious cry, Peyton charged Vander, grabbing him around the waist and86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWarhi2ZfL
attempting to bring him to the ground. Vander got down low, sliding on the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdMxw2IOQ
ground, but not falling. He brought his fist down onto Peyton’s back then took86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ygWIlC1Pu
him by the neck and pinned him.
“Your86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynX4vVtnxX
rein of terror is over.” Vander snarled in his ear. He then ripped Peyton’s86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRsYSCw7Fk
head clean off his body then bellowed a victorious howl.
“The86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijYdc9uG68
lot of you, kill him!” Vander looked at Batiste who shouted at his remaining86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAskXyUgWYN
troops. “He is just one man. Kill him and we will all be rich.” He could tell86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5S7BIf0Hc
that both Batiste and Eve were getting ready to run, but he knew that even if86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLra3negQ7
it took years, he would find them again.
Tensions crackled in the air as the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Ac3LNEyY
lone Blade stood up against a force of at least twenty Serpents. Despite being86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFNX1uaNBQ
at an advantage, none of the Serpents wanted to make the first move. If they86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhS2XDl2Hn
did, they would be cut down instantly and despite wanting to overthrow the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieeCOaMBZN
King, very few were willing to put their lives on the line. But they couldn’t86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y62vGi72a
stay there forever, or all their hard work would be for nothing. So, with86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUdJGgWf3x
orders from one of their bosses, they raced forward blades and knives drawn86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCipXg8DRX
dripping with poison.
Vander86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vi7v6Iqno
launched itself at the nearest victim,86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr31JE3JiLT
tearing from limb to limb. Blood spray as he lifted the newly severed arms and86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzJNpjPkro
threw them, catching two Serpents in the back of the legs knocking them to the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTdVmMxZYy
ground. Moments later their heads rolled down the road. Wisely, some of them86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU8Y3osF1S
decided that they wouldn’t be picked off that way, so they turned and drew86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguCir3Dqc
their poisoned weapons. With a shout they charged. The creature jumped86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzYx7rKij
backwards, narrowly getting out of the way. Urged on by this, they went on the86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucC7DVq3eP
attack.
Using86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuCy5RhdLK
his claws, the creature blocked sword strikes but he howled in pain as a few86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG3xwGt3XT
got past his guard. One man got too close and proceeded to get his face ripped86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WP59vJpw9
off while two more got their skulls smashed together. Their lifeless bodies86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpvdUcgju
were tossed into a couple buildings.
The86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO39hmpCjjn
rest of the Serpents who stayed didn’t fare much better. They were ripped apart86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tg3dCE9bk
with barely any effort, but the effects of the transformation and the poison86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXVvInATjG
coursing through his veins from those who managed to hurt him were beginning to86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6bzAY4An6
take their toll. He was weakening. His eyes were growing dim, but he didn’t86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD7iz70BJy
give up. He launched himself at a straggler, knocking them to the ground. He86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBegyhcWB
bit through the back of her neck and tore out a chunk of flesh. She twitched in86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk80Mohem9C
death before laying still.
As86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1FwXuw0rH
he looked around, something heavy slammed into the back of his head sending him86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9EyZEB3yA
face first into the mud. As he looked up to see what had hit him, a boot pushed86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oHmJjkFbC
him back down. He felt something sharp pierce his chest several times before he86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQfTKwoKYh
was thrown onto his back.
He86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKha96Bguao
looked up into the hate-filled eyes of Eve as she plunged her dagger into his86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTpgfaTQc
heart repeatedly until he stopped moving. With a finally rasped breath,86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ri37Dz3j
everything went black.
He86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaeCSdW927
didn’t remember what happened after Eve stabbed his heart. He just remembered86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jvbtsYOnY
floating in nothingness and the feel of the rain pounding into him as his blood86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QErTh7fzz
mixed with mud. He heard a voice calling out to him, but it sounded muddled.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOfK5L0pS8
Knowing that he done what he could, he allowed himself to drift into86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFhWeEgEaZ
nothingness
He86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdTFZoor9P
felt his body drifting amongst the nothing. He felt at peace for the first time86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSSDnTuXUO
in a long time. He wasn’t sure how long he stayed there or why, but eventually86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcVdpGpPrt
his peaceful time was interrupted by a low voice.
“It’s86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvByFhkTKE
not your time to die.” Vander slowly opened his eyes to find that he was86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0HKPQzkp
surrounded by darkness. “There is still much for you to do.”
“I’m86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNmFjEegrL
tired.” Vander muttered. “I’m tired of struggling, of fighting my demon, I just86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13z67M5GGG
want to be at peace.”
“And86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9fWGZErJp
you will be.” He could have sworn the space smiled. “You have done what only a86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmFF3iNmWe
few have been capable of. You and Unna’s gifts have become one. It will no86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3fz8DI0vx
longer tempt you. You will live a good, long life, but we still need you. It’s86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMaDFU5v0L
up to you to protect the world from the followers of Darkness.”
“Why86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZbbq2GC5m
is it up to me? Make someone else do it.”
