SQUELCH!
The instant it pierced the back of his neck.
The terrifying kinetic energy accumulated in the sword's blade, not yet fully spent, was like a flood crest held back by a dam for far too long. In that moment, it found its ultimate release!
BOOM!
A dull yet heart-stopping explosion erupted in the narrow confines of the corridor!
It wasn't the dazzling spectacle of a magical explosion, but the raw, colossal sound of pure force crushing matter—of flesh and bone unable to withstand the pressure and instantaneously disintegrating.
The Shadow Hunter's hooded head burst apart on the spot!
His headless torso, carried by the immense residual force, was flung backward like a broken doll, once again slamming hard against the wall that had just been struck by the Flying Sword's thunderous impact.
CRACK!
The distinct sound of a spine snapping echoed through the air.
