Vance saw Ethan coming and panic shot through him. His body flickered as he tried to dodge to the side, desperate to get away.
But it was too late.
Ethan's Domain of the Dead had already spread out, locking Vance in like a fly caught in a spider's web. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Realizing death was imminent, Vance's face twisted with fury and desperation. He let out a guttural snarl, eyes wild.
"If I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me!"
He shoved a hand into his pocket and yanked out a round metal sphere.
The crystal core inside pulsed with energy, glowing hotter and brighter—it was seconds from activation.
"Crystal Core Bomb!"
Ricky and the waitress, along with the others nearby, froze in terror.
That bomb wasn't some low-grade toy—it had an S-class core embedded in it. If it went off, everything in the vicinity would be reduced to ash.
With a final burst of strength, Vance hurled the bomb into the air.
