Crack!
A sharp cracking sound echoed through the battlefield. Following Damien's attack, spiderweb-like fractures began to spread rapidly across the Stone Hearted Knight's chest, centered around the heart.
Relief washed over the soldiers. Even Devrok was about to exhale a long-held breath—when the Knight's body suddenly glowed with a violent silvery light.
Roar!!
The Knight howled like a deranged beast, unleashing a soul crushing shockwave that spiraled outward with terrifying force.
Damien, who stood closest, was hit squarely. The blast slammed into his body like a tidal wave, launching him backward like a broken arrow.
"Hold on! Don't let the monster break free!"
"What do we do, Prince? This thing is beyond us…"
The soldiers holding the massive ropes screamed in panic, their voices strained as they struggled to maintain their grip. The ropes creaked under pressure, the horses pulling against the Knight's renewed fury.
