Bab 134: 134: The heart of the Labyrinth!

"Your desperation to break through my defenses so that you can rip me apart has touched my heart, big guy," Val mockingly reassured the frenzied Hell dog. "So I will fulfill your wish."

The Hell dog didn't comprehend his words, but that didn't stop its frenzied assault on the crimson shield. 

Bam! Bam! Bam!

It pounded the shield relentlessly with its body, hoping to break through and sink its teeth into Val. Little did it know that Val was about to comply with its desperate wish.

With a thought, Val undid the crimson shield, the very platform that it was standing on. Caught off guard, the Hell dog dropped straight down, landing on the sharp end of Val's waiting sword. 

Puchi!

The blade pierced through its chest, cleaving its heart, and emerged out the other side.
