Chapitre 96: Those Who Got Away And Those Who Didn't

The shockwave from the explosion struck Henry hard and almost knocked him out of Nyx's saddle. It even rocked Nyx despite the tendrils holding her down. 

Henry squinted as the wind from the mushroom cloud hit his eyes but he managed to catch sight of a figure shooting out of the explosion to slam into the Black Manor with such force, that an entire section of the Manor collapsed and buried him under the building's black stones. 

Henry guessed the figure that shot out was Maude Aleric himself and his mouth gapped as he moved his eyes slowly to Angus,

"You- You killed him." 

Angus' legs wobbled as he went on his knees coughing hard and spouting mouthfuls of blood onto the Manor compound's stone-cobbled ground. 

"Maybe," Angus said as he wiped blood off the corner of his mouth and managed a weak whistle that called his horse over. 

"Are you alright?" Henry asked, taking note of the tendrils that had held Nyx down starting to melt away.
