The villain locked inside the Hero Association containment twitched violently.
His body jerked forward in the chair.
His skin shifted—bones snapping, muscles bulging unnaturally.
Fur spread along his arms. His teeth elongated into sharp fangs.
His scream turned into a deep growl.
Blazren narrowed his eyes.
He stepped forward, fire already flickering along his arm.
Neuro moved quicker.
"Skybrand. Finish it," he ordered.
Skybrand didn't hesitate.
Wings burst from her back as she activated [Skybrand Shift].
Her body launched upward, vanishing in a blink of wind.
In the same second, she used [Skyline Execution].
She reappeared behind the half-mutated villain midair, blades drawn.
One clean slash tore through the neck.
The villain dropped, dead, before his body hit the floor.
Blazren stared at the corpse, eyes still locked on it.
Smoke coiled off his arms—he had been seconds away from striking.
Neuro turned to him. "What were you about to do?"
