*CRACK!*
"AGHHHHHHH!!!!"
Vincent's arm bone snapped like a twig under Nero's metallic grip, the businessman's agonized scream echoing across the chaotic battlefield.
Blood spurted from the compound fracture as jagged bone fragments pierced through skin.
"You... you fucking maniac!" Vincent gasped between waves of excruciating pain, cradling his mangled limb. "How... how did you...?"
But then his analytical mind kicked in despite the agony.
Vincent's eyes widened with horrified realization. "You got that injured... took that much damage... just to get close?"
His voice carried both rage and the grudging look of a madman.
"... It was all an act?"
*Clap… Clap… Clap…*
Nero applauded slowly, his reptilian grin spreading wider with each deliberate clap.
"Give the man a fucking medal. You actually figured it out that fast and through the pain with that? I gotta give it to you."
The predatory satisfaction in his voice made Vincent's blood run cold despite the pain.
