A successfully failed mission
Jalen spun around, his blade slicing through the air as he muttered, "Disable!"
A black energy erupted around Erebos, black liquid dripping ominously from his skin. Jalen thought he heard a faint, rhythmic whisper, "Tik, Tik, Tik."
For a brief moment, Jalen locked eyes with Erebos. A massive surge of pressure radiated from Erebos, pushing King Griswald and the Yami King away like ragdolls. Jalen quickly brought his hands up to press against the intense energy, trying to hold his ground. Erebos seized the opportunity, plunging his fist into the wound where the coin had struck, sending Jalen hurtling into the air.
Shit, he must have fused his flesh with the Devil King's essence to some degree. This is way too strong for a vampire other than the King! Jalen thought, his mind racing as he flew through the air.
