Chapter Eighty-Nine
Summary
- The chapter begins in a high-stakes conference room scene, where Queen Hypaxia has just freed Hunt Athalar from a halo's entrapment while Ruhn Daven has distracted their enemy, Sandriel.
- Hunt, equipped with his newfound power, battles Sandriel with lightning forces, causing the room to shake violently, covering it in debris and leaving most bystanders hiding for safety.
- In an intense face-off, Hunt manages to overpower Sandriel, killing her by severing her head with the sheer force of his power.
- The attendees, all angels, bow in reverence to Hunt's triumph, and begin to fear his power, which hasn't been seen in centuries.
- Hunt then signals the entry of a helicopter through Fury Axtar, intending to go to the city and seeming to have plans of action that he reassures himself he will let loose once he reaches the city.
- Various members of their group, such as Danaan, Ketos, Ruhn, Tharion, Amelie Ravenscroft, Declan and Flynn, confirm they will join Hunt to the city in the military-grade helicopter commandeered by Fury.
- The chapter ends with Hunt, now the right gunner of the helicopter, reflecting on the previous conversations and painful revelations about his close companion Bryce. Fury comforts him by declaring that while Bryce had once been a shadow of herself, Hunt brought her back to life.
