Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2796

Andrew shifted his stance and turned sideways to face Sergio. He held Godslayer before him.

Somehow, despite his broken body, he still smiled and said, "One day, I'll personally kill plenty of people from the Harding family. I'll keep killing until I'm satisfied."

Sergio let out a sinister laugh. "Do you really think that 'one day' you're talking about will ever come?"

Andrew took a deep breath, calming his mind. Even as he faced life and death, he looked strangely peaceful.

It was not resignation to fate, but because he had faced death too many times to fear it anymore.

"Whether that day comes or not, we'll find out soon enough." Andrew's smile stayed relaxed as he stared at him. "I've been waiting… waiting for one critical moment. And now, I think it's finally here."

Sergio shook his head. "Playing psychological games won't work on me. Andrew, the only thing you're waiting for is death! If you're still fantasizing that someone else will save you, I'm happy to take them on one by one! No matter how many come, I'll kill them all, including that Saintess from the Greene family!"

Andrew chuckled. "You're wrong! What I'm waiting for isn't a person. Though you're also right about something. What I'm waiting for isn't anything else… It's death itself!"

Sergio's brow furrowed. "What did you say?"

But before he could process it, Andrew's blade flashed as he swung Godslayer straight at his face. Andrew's entire expression twisted as he forcefully awakened Godslayer, causing blood to erupt uncontrollably from his body. The blade turned a deep crimson, and his life force was rapidly drying up as a result.

Sergio roared angrily, "Foolish! Even if I don't kill you, doing this will drain youself completely dry!"

Andrew lunged forward, and Godslayer fell with overwhelming killing intent.

Years ago, when the Iron Cavalry was slaughtered, he had faced the same despair. But in that hopeless moment, the unstoppable force hidden inside him had awakened.

So now, he waited.

He waited for death to close in.

Just as he had said moments ago, he was waiting for death itself.

He waited for that exact moment when the power inside him would erupt again. And when it did, he would tear Sergio into pieces.
