As Lapitus raised his sword to deal the final blow, seeing his life flash before him, Petrino let out one last shout to try and save his life,
"Wait! What do you mean I poisoned her? I never did anything like that. It was Felicia that actually poisoned…"
But Lapitus was fed up with all of Petrino's lies.
Feeling his ears would only hurt to keep listening, Lapitus did not bother to hear the man out, and using his wife's name as the trigger, Lapitus simply swung his weapon, the huge strike managing to separate the neck from the body in one clean cut.
Being able to cut through all that muscle, tissue, and the thick, solid spinal cord in a single swing, went on to show just how strong of a man Lapitus really was.
*Thud*
As the blade cleaved through the neck, the severed head cleanly rolled onto the sheets with a wet thud, dying them a reddish black hue, the face still sporting the last expression it had made.
