Bab 66: Allies or Threat? (14)

The abomination's body, though pierced through the heart, still fought to survive. Enzo struggled to maintain his grip on his sword as the creature thrashed and convulsed. It lashed out with its remaining strength, its claws raking across Enzo's side, leaving deep gashes.

Pain coursed through Enzo's body, but he refused to release his grip on his sword. He knew that if he gave up now, the abomination would have a chance to regenerate once more, and he couldn't allow that. He wouldn't have enough strength to fight against the other abomination if he were to wait again.

With sheer determination, he twisted the blade within the creature's chest, causing it to emit a final, blood-curdling scream.

Black blood poured from the wound, and the abomination's movements grew weaker. Its wings flap with far less strength than earlier.
