Derek staggered to his feet and hurled the Bone Spear Bomb with everything Bloodburst had left to offer.
His body strength had enhanced several times, and now the bone spear, thrown. out was more efficient and destructive than a grenade launcher.
The spear spun through the smoky air—
SCHUN!
Dead centre. Right into the exposed core of the Knight's chest.
For one heartbeat, everything was still.
Then—
BOOOOM!
The explosion didn't just echo—it rippled, a concussive pulse that tore through the chamber like a shockwave of death. The detonation erupted in a bloom of orange fire, cursed green flame, and shrapnel. Heat blasted outward in a wave that charred the walls and sent clouds of bone dust spinning like ash in a volcanic storm.
Derek was thrown off his feet again, landing on his back, the wind knocked clean from his lungs. His ears rang—no, screamed. His body felt like it was vibrating from the inside, as though something had come unmoored.
