Jack's fingers tightened around Permafrost's heart.
The organ pulsed weakly in his grip, still connected to the demon's body by veins and arteries that glowed with residual frost magic.
Jack pulled. Slowly. The tissue resisted, stretching like rubber before beginning to tear.
Permafrost's scream reached a pitch that shattered nearby ice formations.
The demon's crystalline chest cracked further as Jack's clawed hand withdrew inch by agonizing inch.
Flesh peeled away from the heart in thin strips, some freezing solid the moment they separated, others dissolving into dark mist.
The sound was wet, meat tearing, ice cracking, glass shattering.
"PLEASE!" Permafrost gasped, his voice barely human. "PLEASE, I'LL…."
Jack yanked.
[-11,329 HP]
The heart came free in an explosion of dark blood and frozen gore.
Veins snapped like cut strings, spraying black ichor across Jack's face and armor.
