"{Heaven Sundering Holy Blade Style}: {Third Form – Piercing Thrust}"
CRAAASH!
"Ngh?!"
Hercules vomited a mouthful of blood as he felt his heart pierced, sliced, and then...
Exploding.
Jonathan smiled faintly.
There was no way Hercules could escape this fate.
Regrowing his heart was impossible—Jonathan had already flooded his internal body with holy runes!
Without a heart to pump blood and vital energies, Hercules was doomed to die.
Then Jonathan noticed something.
He had been wrong.
"...What?!"
Hercules gathered every flow of energy in his body and wove a new heart from threads of Consciousness and Blood Energy.
An artificial heart!
He was evolving even further!
"His head...! Aim for his head!"
Tear's urgent voice rang out behind Jonathan as she hurled something toward him.
Hercules roared, his fists smashing into Jonathan's face and yanking the finger free from his artery. Blood sprayed everywhere.
"Nngh...!"
