The cut was immensely deep, making Asur feel as though his entire body would split apart at any moment. Yet even amid that overwhelming agony, the Vorometallicae clenched his teeth tightly and summoned every remaining ounce of his strength.
Channeling his fury into his fist, the Vorometallicae unleashed a thunderous counterattack aimed directly at Vlad.
"CRACK!"
The chilling sound of metal fracturing echoed through the chasm as Asur's massive fist collided violently with Vlad's helmet, cracking it severely and sending the young Depravita plummeting toward the rocky ground like a meteor.
"BOOOOOOOMMM!"
A bloody grin spread across Asur's face as his punch landed successfully, and a triumphant satisfaction flickered momentarily in his fiery eyes. But before he could truly savor that fleeting victory, his chest wound suddenly trembled.
Without warning, the horrific gash expanded violently in all directions, as if a monstrous force within was tearing him apart from the inside out.
