Capítulo 545: Indignant Night

Heart rent by Heartsbane, life bled from Kieran in an unending torrent as he lay on his side.

An average person would be killed the moment their heart was eviscerated by an unfathomable blade or simply had a gaping wound in their solar plexus, but Kieran was far from an average person and had not died immediately.

His blood, carrying the properties of his obsession to defy, refused to pour out of him in the stream that it should. But that was a challenging endeavor. His blood sought to remain one, and a strange power sought to break that bond in equal measure, creating a constantly shifting impasse that left Kieran in a world of pain.
