Chapter 42
Lightning92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE2PPcA6nl
cracked in the sky overhead. A light drizzle started to fall from the sky92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJJhXD9q2Y
wetting the area within minutes. Everything had happened so quickly that the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSryqyy1sb
Serpents were still in shock. This wasn’t how anything was supposed to go, but they92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoptr1G8Gy8
still had some time to do some damage control. Batiste started shouting orders92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWBPxNM4Ix
to his soldiers who quickly sprang into action. Vander could feel Eliza92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvukccRel
crawling over to him from her spot on the ground as the Serpent holding her ran92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQfkxlQdcr
away.
“What92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedtoML98Fe
should we do?” she shouted at Vander. “My abilities are going to be useless92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoqfwybTQQ
soon. If you want me to do something it will have to be soon.”
“Don’t92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpcqe5HBYw
use your powers.” Vander said calmly. “It will wear you out and I will need you92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24PPDXuquc
to get the Queen to safety.”
“What92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqCe13FF8
about you?” she asked.
“I92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpYVwhcgD
have to take care of that beast before it goes out of control.” Vander92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JhFHAkbvd
explained. “I will handle things here, just get her and yourself, to safety.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn6oXcmAjl
After that, Vander gently pushed her away. Sighing, he gave away control to the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ym6BmPn7e
demon inside.
He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb44IyDIPMm
fell to his knees screaming in pain. The Serpents stopped their charge to watch92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWlhVRBP6F
as he writhed on the ground. His entire body was aflame before he was launched92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW36jxzFCeD
outside as his form began to warp. Thick white fur sprouted, covering his92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx0iuDNpfn
entire body. His limps snapped and cracked as the bones broke and reformed. His92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zNFnjfjGK
clothes were shredded entirely leaving loose strands. His fingers turned to92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ymX821946
claws and his teeth fell from his mouth only to be replaced by sharp fangs.
The92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3t0iiJoax
two predators created by Unna circled each other hungrily. Vander could tell92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeu3zXp0ed
that Peyton was gone, only the beast remained. He hadn’t lasted long at all92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmT5Uq849I
with the power flowing through his veins, but Vander didn’t expect that he92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3pYqwApoY
would. All of Unna’s chosen had a strong will and Peyton only cared about his92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQToOvXpfr
power and wealth than anything else. However, that didn’t mean this was going92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdkc0Ay8qR
to be an easy fight.
The92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWByljTOdO
two of them lunged at each other, clawing scratching, and tearing each other92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM0iXa5BCq
apart. White and brown fur went flying as they tore chunks out of each other.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIIAAZQSue
Vander bit back the pain. He was only focused on killing the creature in front92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsVOkby64
of him, nothing else would matter.
As92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SJ22Urj93
they slashed at each other, the demon and Vander switched off, using their92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShMLo1hyx
skills in tandem to overwhelm their opponent. As Peyton slashed at him, Vander92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxBUS3w5AR
sidestepped then brought both his knee and elbow together breaking his arm.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhbmQZAtQm
Then he grabbed the creature around the neck and using his strength, threw him92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK756M2ACr
towards the Serpent holding Kiara. Knowing that this was her chance, Kiara92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6TNJ8jLYD
brought her elbow up, catching her captor in the face, then dodging to the side92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKhp3fGhk3
as Peyton’s claw tore that man apart. Eliza got to Kiara quickly and together92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ2h1u3loE
they disappeared into the building behind them.
With92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyhGwTUgab
a furious cry, Peyton charged Vander, grabbing him around the waist and92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexwa5KPFoJ
attempting to bring him to the ground. Vander got down low, sliding on the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvaOU34vvn
ground, but not falling. He brought his fist down onto Peyton’s back then took92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmApFiA16k3
him by the neck and pinned him.
“Your92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IOgDkGr74
rein of terror is over.” Vander snarled in his ear. He then ripped Peyton’s92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErOUNRCHel
head clean off his body then bellowed a victorious howl.
“The92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu6byoIc18
lot of you, kill him!” Vander looked at Batiste who shouted at his remaining92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi21JDrQI4
troops. “He is just one man. Kill him and we will all be rich.” He could tell92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QF7e5vyA2
that both Batiste and Eve were getting ready to run, but he knew that even if92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TXWmdBeFY
it took years, he would find them again.
Tensions crackled in the air as the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5dLK2mXLU
lone Blade stood up against a force of at least twenty Serpents. Despite being92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UZCbMc5wG
at an advantage, none of the Serpents wanted to make the first move. If they92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat0HsNmBuS
did, they would be cut down instantly and despite wanting to overthrow the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cs09eD0yu
King, very few were willing to put their lives on the line. But they couldn’t92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ2lXNC1KI
stay there forever, or all their hard work would be for nothing. So, with92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvV4pFPAeT
orders from one of their bosses, they raced forward blades and knives drawn92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZnPPJ2bm
dripping with poison.
Vander92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ414nOmKoCB
launched itself at the nearest victim,92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRjHfbxs5S
tearing from limb to limb. Blood spray as he lifted the newly severed arms and92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2YuQ6j0HW
threw them, catching two Serpents in the back of the legs knocking them to the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqVLpWphYi
ground. Moments later their heads rolled down the road. Wisely, some of them92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUi3GVBZ6R
decided that they wouldn’t be picked off that way, so they turned and drew92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeoBFshWrb
their poisoned weapons. With a shout they charged. The creature jumped92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMBdds7MBp
backwards, narrowly getting out of the way. Urged on by this, they went on the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMldUXfSeuh
attack.
Using92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zJPBGFvVU
his claws, the creature blocked sword strikes but he howled in pain as a few92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPgP5caoVX
got past his guard. One man got too close and proceeded to get his face ripped92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf0vACxKgB
off while two more got their skulls smashed together. Their lifeless bodies92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1wxwjqOVm
were tossed into a couple buildings.
The92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG5bf38Kdn
rest of the Serpents who stayed didn’t fare much better. They were ripped apart92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslG13nzqbT
with barely any effort, but the effects of the transformation and the poison92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tWbqSARSi
coursing through his veins from those who managed to hurt him were beginning to92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpZIHqMjEz
take their toll. He was weakening. His eyes were growing dim, but he didn’t92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DQoWh3AIU
give up. He launched himself at a straggler, knocking them to the ground. He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrmkJrcmBS
bit through the back of her neck and tore out a chunk of flesh. She twitched in92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFknm7jSrr
death before laying still.
As92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0mgQNjjM1
he looked around, something heavy slammed into the back of his head sending him92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XjZv9moFl
face first into the mud. As he looked up to see what had hit him, a boot pushed92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnBBR6WWQS
him back down. He felt something sharp pierce his chest several times before he92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEftbqcVFu
was thrown onto his back.
He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPzKQEYbw9
looked up into the hate-filled eyes of Eve as she plunged her dagger into his92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXYqMI3Fsb
heart repeatedly until he stopped moving. With a finally rasped breath,92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUVpQw2jQv
everything went black.
He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueU4HmheDI
didn’t remember what happened after Eve stabbed his heart. He just remembered92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Fb91bp18
floating in nothingness and the feel of the rain pounding into him as his blood92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXNnMmtB0Y
mixed with mud. He heard a voice calling out to him, but it sounded muddled.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy3gpwsXnt
Knowing that he done what he could, he allowed himself to drift into92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCS5xqYJ8C
nothingness
He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSCvlr0c9Y
felt his body drifting amongst the nothing. He felt at peace for the first time92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSRDetAGwI
in a long time. He wasn’t sure how long he stayed there or why, but eventually92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIZ0Z5gi0H
his peaceful time was interrupted by a low voice.
“It’s92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmABYTQUN
not your time to die.” Vander slowly opened his eyes to find that he was92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJx7P9AFhU
surrounded by darkness. “There is still much for you to do.”
“I’m92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8MJYWcjJ1
tired.” Vander muttered. “I’m tired of struggling, of fighting my demon, I just92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcM2C83tt7
want to be at peace.”
“And92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHb5lxXWc0
you will be.” He could have sworn the space smiled. “You have done what only a92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlM628JssD
few have been capable of. You and Unna’s gifts have become one. It will no92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Ym1wT5Ip
longer tempt you. You will live a good, long life, but we still need you. It’s92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLknnXUb7A
up to you to protect the world from the followers of Darkness.”
“Why92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BmYME9ift
is it up to me? Make someone else do it.”
