Chapter 307: This is karma!!
Damien unleashed a barrage of icicles at Blake with the same velocity as Blake's blood bullets, the room became a chaotic battleground. Blake swiftly went on the defensive, his reflexes kicking in as he darted across the room, narrowly evading the icy projectiles that tore through the air, shattering anything in their path.
With each step, Blake's movements were fluid yet precise. He danced around the lethal icicles, his senses sharp and focused on the impending danger. But even with his heightened agility, one of the icy shards grazed perilously close to him, slicing across his rib with a searing pain.
Gritting his teeth against the pain, Blake pressed on, his adrenaline fueling his movements. However, just as he thought he had evaded the danger, his heart skipped a beat as he watched in horror as one of the icicles veered off course, hurtling directly toward Rose, who remained encased in Damien's icy trap.
Reacting on pure instinct, Blake lunged forward, his movements fueled by desperation as he stretched out his arm, willing himself to reach Rose in time. His fingers brushed against the icy surface just as the lethal projectile closed in, a split-second away from striking its deadly blow.
As the ice shard whizzed towards Rose's delicate face, Blake's reflexes kicked in, his hand intercepting the projectile just inches from her skin. "That was close," he muttered, his voice tinged with relief and concern as he glanced at Rose, who remained frozen in Damien's icy grip.
Turning towards Damien, Blake's expression darkened with frustration. His jaw clenched as he crushed the ice shard in his hand, the fragments scattering to the ground. The tension in the room crackled with Blake's palpable vexation, evident even to Damien, who regarded him with a semblance of indifference.
With a derisive chuckle, Damien attempted to diminish the gravity of the situation. "Just a little ice, nothing to worry about," he quipped, his tone laced with mockery.
Blake's eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger flashing across his features at Damien's callous remark. "Do you find amusement in endangering innocent lives?" His voice carried a biting edge, revealing the depth of his disdain for Damien's disregard for Rose's safety.
"It didn't hurt sweet Rose, did it, Blakey?" Damien said with a mocking expression on his face. Clearly he didn't quite care for Rose or whatever happened to her. Blake however was not about to sit back and let this lunatic get away with what he had just done.
"Have you lost your mind?" Blake demanded, his voice dripping with incredulity as he confronted Damien's indifference to Rose's peril.
In a swift motion fueled by a surge of rage, Blake propelled himself towards Damien, shattering the ice beneath his feet. Within moments, he stood face to face with his adversary, his movements swift and decisive. With a carefree swing of his head backwards, he unleashed a powerful thrust, driving his head forward, connecting with Damien's, the impact echoing through the room.
As Damien's head spun from the impact of the headbutt, he barely had a moment to collect himself before Blake seized him by the hair, wrenching him forward with brutal force. With a sickening sensation of weightlessness, Damien was hurled through the already weakened wall, crashing unceremoniously into the corridor beyond.
The impact sent shockwaves reverberating through his body as he skidded along the rough ground, bouncing off the unforgiving surface until he finally came to a stop, his limbs aching and his head swimming with dizziness.
Dust and debris filled the air, clouding his vision for a fleeting moment, but through the haze, he caught sight of Blake's crimson eyes, brimming with tears of blood, burning with an intensity that sent a shiver down Damien's spine.
Before he could even attempt to regain his bearings, the air was split by the ominous sound of whips cracking through the air. The red tendrils lashed out with deadly precision, their sinuous forms slicing through the space around Damien with a terrifying speed. Each strike carried a thunderous sound, akin to the explosion of a grenade, echoing through the corridor with a deafening roar.
Reacting on pure instinct, Damien rolled aside, narrowly avoiding the first whip as it slashed through the air where he had been mere moments before. But his relief was short-lived as the second whip lashed out towards him with relentless ferocity, wrapping around his throat with a vice-like grip.
Gasping for breath, Damien fought against the constricting coil, his hands clawing desperately at the unyielding grip. But the whip held fast, cutting off his air supply with ruthless efficiency. Struggling against the overpowering force, Damien attempted to drag himself away, his feet scraping against the marble floor in a futile attempt to escape.
As Damien struggled against the relentless grip of the whip, a chilling voice pierced through the chaos, resonating with a sinister authority. It was Blake's voice, dripping with malice and contempt, as he declared, "You're not going anywhere, Damien."
The words hung in the air like a dark omen, sending a shiver down Damien's spine as he realized the gravity of his situation. Trapped within the merciless grasp of Blake's power, Damien's every instinct screamed for escape, but he knew that there was no easy way out of this confrontation.
Struggling against the relentless grip of the whip, his mind raced with contemplations, fueled by a primal surge of anger. With gritted teeth, he channeled his ice powers into the whip, freezing it solid before shattering it with a sharp crack.
Turning swiftly, Damien's boots pounded against the ground as he conjured a ramp of ice beneath him, propelling him forward with unparalleled speed. The makeshift ice sled collided with Blake, sending him sprawling backward.
Without missing a beat, Damien slid gracefully across the ice, his movements fluid and calculated. As he neared Blake, he propelled himself into the air, summoning a formidable ice sword in his hand. With a fierce determination in his eyes, Damien descended upon Blake, his intent clear: to end this confrontation once and for all.
But in a sudden, jolting motion, Damien's trajectory was abruptly altered by the whip that snaked around his legs like a viper. The force of the whip sent him hurtling through yet another wall, his body crashing against the unforgiving surface with bone-jarring impact.
As Damien struggled to regain his bearings, he watched helplessly as Blake retrieved the fallen sword, a grim determination etched upon his face.
With each step, Blake's heavy boots echoed against the cold marble floor, the scraping of the giant ice sword adding a sinister undertone to his approach. His eyes, fiery with determination, locked onto Damien's, a silent proclamation of his resolve.
"For all the pain inflicted upon me, upon my daughter, upon Rose, this is karma," Blake declared, his voice a low rumble that reverberated through the room, carrying the weight of their shared suffering.
Yet, despite Blake's ominous words, Damien couldn't help but chuckle in response, a mocking glint in his eyes. "Foolish to think this is the end, or that it would be so easy to end me," he retorted, his tone dripping with arrogance.
Without uttering a word, Damien expelled residual blood from his mouth, the crimson droplets staining the pristine floor beneath him. With a defiant gesture, he placed a hand on his knees, getting back up, his stance unwavering despite the pain coursing through his body.
"You've underestimated the power I possess, Blake. But you've yet to witness the full extent of the monster I can become," Damien warned, his voice laced with a chilling edge, a smirk playing on his lips.
And as the tension between them reached its zenith, Damien's smirk widened into a sinister grin as he uttered the haunting words, "To hell we must plunge, winter tears, I'll shed," ...
