'Oh, Lord, please don't take this from me too,' the man in the speedo prayed as he watched the giant knight lift its massive sword, the dust swirling around the blade like a sheath.
"No! Don't do it!" he shouted desperately, raising his right hand just as the knight swung the enormous sword down on him, splitting the dust into two, revealing a part of its majestic figure.
"I'm sorry! I have to live... Otherwise, their sacrifice will be for nothing," he muttered, tears streaming down his cheeks. Just inches from his raised wrist—now adorned with a rusted knuckle buster—he channeled his curse energy and detonated it with unknown confidence.
Eyes shut tight, unwilling to witness the end of the majestic creature before him. He never saw what happened next. Unknown to him, the knight's sword swallowed the explosion without pause and continued its descent, crashing down on him with unstoppable force, pounding on the mutant rust worm's host into a roadkill.
