Chapter 34 - Ethan Cross, our differences are resolved.

Victor advanced again without haste, but also without giving any real space for reaction, like a predator who had already decided that the prey would not escape and now only controlled the rhythm of death.

Ethan tried to get up, his body still regenerating parts that had been destroyed seconds before, but the regeneration no longer kept pace with the speed of the injuries, and this was the worst possible scenario for a vampire in direct combat.
