Chapter 157: Devastating battle

Natasha watched with a mixture of awe and trepidation as John's smile transformed his appearance, lending him an aura of malevolence that was both mesmerizing and terrifying to behold. Though she knew that his intentions were noble and his heart pure, there was no denying the sinister edge that his smile brought to his countenance.

As the Carvinines recoiled in fear at the sight of him, Natasha felt a surge of apprehension wash over her. Though she had seen John tap into his power before, she had never witnessed him exude such an aura of darkness, a darkness that seemed to emanate from the depths of his very soul.

But amidst the fear and uncertainty that gripped her, Natasha also sensed something else, a glimmer of hope, a flicker of defiance that burned bright within John's smile. It was a reminder that, even in the face of overwhelming darkness, there was still light to be found, a light that shone from the depths of his indomitable spirit.
