The Wraith Sovereign Returns to Conquer - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Shade Child slipped out of my shadow, fully restored and radiating several times the power she had carried before. She split into six shadows darker than the night itself and latched onto the backs of all six Praetorians at once. "Enhanced Psychic Strike. Detonate." Six heads burst open like overripe melons, one right after the other. Every single one of them dropped at the same instant. Roland's strongest card had not lasted a second against me. "How...

is that possible..." Roland watched his finest creations get cut down like weeds, and the composure he had held onto his entire life finally crumbled. What was left underneath was horror and the first real sense of fear he had probably felt in decades. "There's nothing impossible about it." I walked toward him without rushing. "It's just you now." "You little animal! You think you've already won?" Roland let out a roar, and the aging body beneath his uniform erupted with a blinding radiance as bright as the sun.

His power kept surging, climbing higher with every second, and the walls of my Wraith Dominion actually began to buckle under the strain. "T spent my entire life clawing my way to where I stand! I'm the king of this wasteland! Some insect who lucked out into power has no right to take everything from me!" He became a streak of golden light and launched himself straight at me. The force gathered in his fist was enough to level a hillside. "Because the throne you're so proud of was built ona mountain of corpses." I raised the Blade of Judgment.

"Resentment Corruption." I poured every last drop of resentment I had absorbed, drawn from the tens of thousands who had died across the entire base, into the sword without holding anything back. The black greatsword swelled to over a hundred feet in length. The faces rippling across its surface were no longer blurred. They were sharp and vivid, each one twisted with bottomless hatred. Rafe was there, and so were Kirk and Sasha. Civilians the horde had devoured were there, along with the ability users who had been strapped down and used as lab specimens.

Every soul that had perished in this catastrophe had become part of the blade in my hands. "This swing is from all of them, and it's going straight back to you." I gripped the hilt with both hands, squared up against that blazing streak of golden light, and brought the sword down with everything I had. "Face your judgment." The collision produced a sound so massive it went beyond anything words could describe. It tore through the Wraith Dominion and shook the foundations of the villa down to bedrock. The black sword and golden radiance slammed into each other head-on.
