Boom!
RUMMMMMMBLE—
In the very next instant, Virelgar finally snapped. A violent surge of power exploded from his body, laced with a thick, noxious poison. The energy coalesced in the sky above, forming a massive shadowy figure that came crashing down like a toxic tidal wave.
"I'm going to kill you, you miserable bastard!"
He lunged at Ethan, launching a full-on assault.
But Ethan? Not a flicker of fear in his eyes. Instead, raw, unrelenting fury surged through him, his power erupting like a storm. He met the attack head-on, slamming his energy straight into the shadowy figure.
SSSSSSHHHHHH—
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Explosions tore through the sky. Poisonous fog burst outward in every direction, thick and suffocating. Some of the venomous energy pierced through Ethan's defenses, seeping into his body, eating away at his flesh from the inside.
"AAARGH!"
The pain was blinding—like his nerves were being shredded from within.
