He forced the words out with all the strength he had left, each syllable dragging through agony.
Yami stopped, his eyes narrowing.

"You dare try to trick me?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. "Bastard… You had Derek killed, you're working with these half-assed weird beasts, and now you are even trying to fool me?"
His roar shook the cavern. A suffocating pressure burst from his body, and the entire cave began to tremble. Dust rained down from the ceiling as small cracks formed along the walls.
Rage consumed him — pure, unfiltered rage. Though he had only known Derek for a short time, he had been deeply impressed by the boy's talent. He had even given him a spatial ring and allowed him to train in one of the training chambers that were only meant for instructors — that alone showed how much he valued Derek. And now, seeing his lifeless body before his eyes, Yami's anger exploded beyond control.
He was furious beyond words.
