Upon hearing that her uncle had killed her father, Meave stopped in place. She had kept the situation under control and suppressed her feelings, but now she could no longer.
Her entire body shuddered in rage, and when she could not take it anymore, she turned around and leapt towards her uncle.
Despite being blinded by Lucia, Morten could sense his niece rapidly approaching him, and smiled as she did. He may have lost, but he would not go out alone.
Being bound and having all of his magic items confiscated there was no way for him to use normal magic. However, there was one last act of defiance open to him.
Building up the energy within his magic core, Morten let it go wild through his body. This was a last resort suicide move that would cause a massive explosion.
