Radu Tepes had seen the damage that his mentor's weapon could cause. He had heard the unsavory sound of ripping flesh and the screams that arose from his enemies when they were subjected to it.
There had been rumors that those who were killed by the weapon did not reach the afterlife. Their souls were shredded along with their flesh.
Radu would not allow himself to be subjected to such a fate. If it required his dying breath, he would fight, claw, and struggle to survive with a ferociousness that trumped over that of any demon.
"Whether you're a ghost or not... I'll never allow you to come back here and knock me out of my seat...! There's a new vampire king reigning over the earth, and he has given me his blessing!"
Radu roared monstrously and grabbed hold of Mateo's weapon. Careful to avoid the obsidian points, he held it with the flat sides of his palms before flinging it away.
The weapon became lodged in a nearby support column, making the room rumble.
