Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3268

Twisted with rage, Guillermo suddenly grabbed Jose and yanked him in front of himself.

Jose screamed in terror, "Mr. Vazquez, what…"

Before he could finish, a horrifying scream tore out of him.

Primordial Thunder surged like a venomous python and drilled straight into Jose's body.

Guillermo used Jose as a human shield, holding him up to block the attack. Even so, thin arcs of lightning passed through Jose and crept into Guillermo's arm.

He sneered viciously. "Jose, don't blame me for being ruthless. Now's the time for you to repay me."

Smoke rose from Jose's throat as he made painful, labored sounds. Finally, with a thud, he crashed to the ground like charred coal. As he hit the ground, his body convulsed violently one last time.

His entire skin surface was nearly burnt through, and his whole body was unrecognizable now. His face was the worst of it, as Primordial Thunder had surged through every vein and nerve. It destroyed every remaining bit of living tissue inside and out.

Only his eyeballs remained intact, filled with disbelief and unbearable pain.

"M-Mr. Vazquez, why...why would you...do this?"

With faint gasps, Jose struggled to turn his eyes toward Guillermo. In the end, his last bit of strength was exhausted. His eyes closed, and his life slipped out completely.

Andrew leaned on the Godslayer, breathing heavily. His face showed nothing but contempt and cold mockery.

"You'd even sacrifice your own people. Guillermo, you deserve this ending; abandoned by everyone. You're worse than an animal!"

Guillermo laughed heartily, completely indifferent to Jose's death. He circled around Andrew slowly, his smile savage.

"To be a real man, you must be merciless. Jose's death was my gift to him. And it was time for him to pay me back. His death at least forced you to waste one attack. What about the next time? Andrew, can you pull off another strike like that?"

"How's that? You're dead for sure this time."

Guillermo laughed maniacally. His five claws embedded in Andrew's body twisted and pulled.

Andrew grunted as blood and chunks of flesh were torn out in a massive clump.

"Andrew!" Luna screamed in anguish, tears she could no longer hold back streaming down her face.

Guillermo had pretended to attack her, forcing Andrew to rush in and save her. That was how he had landed the ambush.

Andrew held his breath, his face contorting as it turned deep red. Guillermo laughed madly and spun around in one smooth motion. He twisted Andrew's arm and snapped it cleanly, dragging him behind.

Andrew groaned again, but the red glow in his eyes burned brighter than ever before.
