Chapter 75: Rina Cortez (5)
The massive energy blade that crashed down through the ceiling was stopped cold by Rina Cortez’s hand.
A torrent of raw power flowed from Hector’s chest, forming a blazing crimson blade—but Rina’s slender fingers held it back without flinching.
A sickly red aura—unstable and writhing with Circle energy—coiled around her hand, echoing the same energy that fueled Hector’s blade.
“Witch. I’ve finally got you....”
The mechanical voice that rasped from Hector’s synthetic vocal cords quivered with unmistakable elation.
He was finally face-to-face with the source of the rot, the foul stench that had poisoned Hexa Core Armory from within. The one who had orchestrated its fracture.
This was the moment he’d staked everything on.
WHRRRRRRR!
The grinding roar of rotating gears and slamming metal rang out as Hector’s mechanized body surged to life, rattling the underground chamber.
Every ounce of weight, every ounce of mechanical might that his massive steel frame could muster, he hurled at Rina.
The floor cracked. Debris trembled.
The sheer pressure was enough to fracture the walls.
