Chapter 41
The vault spiraled into chaos.
Aurex reeled, slashing wildly with jagged ice limbs, his unstable body warping with each strike. Viora screamed from his pores—unfiltered, venomous, alive with pain.
Kiro ducked under a sweeping frost-arm, his Blood Venom Mantle reacting like instinct. He twisted, palm glowing, then launched a piercing strike into Aurex's back.
"Pablo!" he shouted. "Now!"
From the opposite end, Pablo surged forward. His Dark Levithan blade cut through reality like a tidal fang. With every step, black water roared beneath him, feeding his power. He struck high—cleaving into Aurex's shoulder—and the mad warlord stumbled, roaring in agony.
"You insects—!" Aurex howled.
Then the chamber groaned.
The Omega Core pulsed red.
Its heart opened—no longer protected by shields or containment seals.

Aurex staggered back, bleeding frost, laughter bubbling from his lips.
