"Vendread Battlelord" picked up the small hunter in its enormous hand.

Then, just as it had done to the other Vendreads and the fallen victims, it reached its other hand toward the Slayer's chest to absorb his powers.

The Slayer's conciousness was sinking into nothingness fast, but then, the faint glint of his locket caught his eye.

That tiny gleam was enough to remind him that his mission was not yet over. With his conviction renewed, the flame in his heart lit up once more. No wound on his body could stop him now.


The Slayer mustered all the strength he had left and, right before the Battlelord could absorb his powers, he plunged his hand into the Vendread's chest and ripped out its core.
