Chapter 42
Lightning97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5vtWUyROO
cracked in the sky overhead. A light drizzle started to fall from the sky97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xUng4PbSb
wetting the area within minutes. Everything had happened so quickly that the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69qkgWuNjR
Serpents were still in shock. This wasn’t how anything was supposed to go, but they97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SlO3nvpF
still had some time to do some damage control. Batiste started shouting orders97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYFPvQ3hlW
to his soldiers who quickly sprang into action. Vander could feel Eliza97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDb9IFYnKO
crawling over to him from her spot on the ground as the Serpent holding her ran97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTBriymXr2
away.
“What97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzxhuGpCyL
should we do?” she shouted at Vander. “My abilities are going to be useless97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEsnwZ8j1Y
soon. If you want me to do something it will have to be soon.”
“Don’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrbyAKenO4
use your powers.” Vander said calmly. “It will wear you out and I will need you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCr4f8Qxyz
to get the Queen to safety.”
“What97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdpxkJUPM3
about you?” she asked.
“I97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoRQFnB7cd
have to take care of that beast before it goes out of control.” Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pyrv4KUqX
explained. “I will handle things here, just get her and yourself, to safety.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR25g3M31y
After that, Vander gently pushed her away. Sighing, he gave away control to the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVfH9JZuZX
demon inside.
He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GBi3Syeqr
fell to his knees screaming in pain. The Serpents stopped their charge to watch97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPPuWOYyeD
as he writhed on the ground. His entire body was aflame before he was launched97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYww3PxAz3f
outside as his form began to warp. Thick white fur sprouted, covering his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGrf4yMsUs
entire body. His limps snapped and cracked as the bones broke and reformed. His97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy43udEwl82
clothes were shredded entirely leaving loose strands. His fingers turned to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Kz5HZtN3
claws and his teeth fell from his mouth only to be replaced by sharp fangs.
The97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTpEJhtnpY
two predators created by Unna circled each other hungrily. Vander could tell97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg61yGjepLd
that Peyton was gone, only the beast remained. He hadn’t lasted long at all97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaRV54a8gq
with the power flowing through his veins, but Vander didn’t expect that he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDIcMB5Wj
would. All of Unna’s chosen had a strong will and Peyton only cared about his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNKsvV4bVC
power and wealth than anything else. However, that didn’t mean this was going97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEYQ7vjsLk
to be an easy fight.
The97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WKYHG2Uh9
two of them lunged at each other, clawing scratching, and tearing each other97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTU6VsHYgq
apart. White and brown fur went flying as they tore chunks out of each other.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsrCaMgmr6
Vander bit back the pain. He was only focused on killing the creature in front97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U7jojejA8
of him, nothing else would matter.
As97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CBlH6Wch7
they slashed at each other, the demon and Vander switched off, using their97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpst0ZzYlxd
skills in tandem to overwhelm their opponent. As Peyton slashed at him, Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8MPcmJ1x8
sidestepped then brought both his knee and elbow together breaking his arm.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd8jMAX2f1
Then he grabbed the creature around the neck and using his strength, threw him97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcSaY8ZBJj
towards the Serpent holding Kiara. Knowing that this was her chance, Kiara97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAk9LXnjnh
brought her elbow up, catching her captor in the face, then dodging to the side97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAoOGc5Aaa
as Peyton’s claw tore that man apart. Eliza got to Kiara quickly and together97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyazumWPBQ
they disappeared into the building behind them.
With97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIhJnoQfJv
a furious cry, Peyton charged Vander, grabbing him around the waist and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt0DDQF7z4
attempting to bring him to the ground. Vander got down low, sliding on the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq8WeqPMsP
ground, but not falling. He brought his fist down onto Peyton’s back then took97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ4RLANK0j
him by the neck and pinned him.
“Your97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lSWmFJ8Sh
rein of terror is over.” Vander snarled in his ear. He then ripped Peyton’s97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO3CGs9NGu
head clean off his body then bellowed a victorious howl.
“The97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a3xMxYEHF
lot of you, kill him!” Vander looked at Batiste who shouted at his remaining97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiOizsCmIc
troops. “He is just one man. Kill him and we will all be rich.” He could tell97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqoYM03cWp
that both Batiste and Eve were getting ready to run, but he knew that even if97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGav4EvMASM
it took years, he would find them again.
Tensions crackled in the air as the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YAZS6vPWx
lone Blade stood up against a force of at least twenty Serpents. Despite being97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCGM0KYWe
at an advantage, none of the Serpents wanted to make the first move. If they97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9kZVG4Jvl
did, they would be cut down instantly and despite wanting to overthrow the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURTqMIxDX1
King, very few were willing to put their lives on the line. But they couldn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHls5q6wioJ
stay there forever, or all their hard work would be for nothing. So, with97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMJJqAsr3m
orders from one of their bosses, they raced forward blades and knives drawn97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeXnLnGN42
dripping with poison.
Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIcKutozh4
launched itself at the nearest victim,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJaOURO0gB
tearing from limb to limb. Blood spray as he lifted the newly severed arms and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqHh1yMV2K
threw them, catching two Serpents in the back of the legs knocking them to the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgH4LAVZ6x
ground. Moments later their heads rolled down the road. Wisely, some of them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVEsUoGBu
decided that they wouldn’t be picked off that way, so they turned and drew97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnwvSRzFI5
their poisoned weapons. With a shout they charged. The creature jumped97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlZtvSgGSV
backwards, narrowly getting out of the way. Urged on by this, they went on the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnAPqEkeSS
attack.
Using97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHP1ox0CGK
his claws, the creature blocked sword strikes but he howled in pain as a few97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBBMQbbARo
got past his guard. One man got too close and proceeded to get his face ripped97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR5l5MOow0
off while two more got their skulls smashed together. Their lifeless bodies97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86isfUNaFM
were tossed into a couple buildings.
The97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpfeVVq4as
rest of the Serpents who stayed didn’t fare much better. They were ripped apart97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvl2ATluuB
with barely any effort, but the effects of the transformation and the poison97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Sy7QyaNc
coursing through his veins from those who managed to hurt him were beginning to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvE1mV9fNv
take their toll. He was weakening. His eyes were growing dim, but he didn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69QpVIWP4J
give up. He launched himself at a straggler, knocking them to the ground. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfKMAM5yxS
bit through the back of her neck and tore out a chunk of flesh. She twitched in97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AJVL1JxJZ
death before laying still.
As97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yQN2zpDM7
he looked around, something heavy slammed into the back of his head sending him97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKgCJ1P3oF
face first into the mud. As he looked up to see what had hit him, a boot pushed97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlETzPQ8VDl
him back down. He felt something sharp pierce his chest several times before he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8XU5sLy9W
was thrown onto his back.
He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYG7sLCWsq
looked up into the hate-filled eyes of Eve as she plunged her dagger into his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7nYiIPGO
heart repeatedly until he stopped moving. With a finally rasped breath,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfs3iDfjx
everything went black.
He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G4fnfa8iY
didn’t remember what happened after Eve stabbed his heart. He just remembered97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS0SiywstX
floating in nothingness and the feel of the rain pounding into him as his blood97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2HssTRuJ
mixed with mud. He heard a voice calling out to him, but it sounded muddled.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6BCtAz19
Knowing that he done what he could, he allowed himself to drift into97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0131Z9ya3a
nothingness
He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYKpCTR0yG
felt his body drifting amongst the nothing. He felt at peace for the first time97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNrItNewpr
in a long time. He wasn’t sure how long he stayed there or why, but eventually97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKrlzvQaSf
his peaceful time was interrupted by a low voice.
“It’s97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpdeMFHkho
not your time to die.” Vander slowly opened his eyes to find that he was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpbqKERaNE
surrounded by darkness. “There is still much for you to do.”
“I’m97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfHu7Xs8oD
tired.” Vander muttered. “I’m tired of struggling, of fighting my demon, I just97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnfQVjMazN
want to be at peace.”
“And97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VGJ6wENCz
you will be.” He could have sworn the space smiled. “You have done what only a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwr8y5PY6l
few have been capable of. You and Unna’s gifts have become one. It will no97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2kJjwGbS1
longer tempt you. You will live a good, long life, but we still need you. It’s97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9URq1uoOME
up to you to protect the world from the followers of Darkness.”
“Why97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIjWNp3JGN
is it up to me? Make someone else do it.”
