69Please respect copyright.PENANAHVgk8CQI4dA dark, swirling void forms around the crown of his helmet — something unnatural, something wrong.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAkWjn0Y0W4X
He steps toward Paul, leaning in so close their foreheads nearly touch, voice dropping to a whisper.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlFKxDKD12M
Knight:
"You are going to die here tonight…
69Please respect copyright.PENANAz2uCHraVa9
-moment of silence-
69Please respect copyright.PENANAXH8XTZ6bIQ
…just like your daughter did."
69Please respect copyright.PENANAMPHLi3MEkF
Paul lunges first.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3mYqJzfFJY
He drives a mallet into the knight’s face mid sentence, slamming him against the wall with force that rattles the shack. The knight drops, slump, blood smothering the wall. Three more knights swarm him — two locking his arms, one clinging to his back.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtQc6d41CuX
Paul lets the mallets fall.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0OPyDJe3Yb
He kicks off the table, crushing the knight behind him into the wall and breaking the hold. Paul tears free, grabs the man’s helmet, and hurls him across the room, rattling the table on impact.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3dpfJpHHBi
He reaches above for the weapons rack.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAN7GLQGUxHi
Two axes —
69Please respect copyright.PENANALjcuRhoHHY
Paul shoulders one knight aside, tossing him like he weighs nothing and charges another, driving him back into the wall. He rips himself loose again, now dual‑wielding axes, swinging with raw, unrestrained fury.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAuf7m247KU
Armor dents.
69Please respect copyright.PENANApsks8iWZWK
The shack trembles. Shadows whip around the lantern light as the fight spirals into chaos. Traeven sees it — the beast behind Paul’s eyes. No aura. No magic. Just pure, focused malice.
69Please respect copyright.PENANARdNGkDcIWp
A knight rushes him. Another leaps in to restrain him. Paul reacts on instinct.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAVica2hgj5r
Paul (roaring):
“EERRRRGHHHAA!”
69Please respect copyright.PENANA9GfyRL41rP
He swings in tight, vicious hooks, head low, arms moving like pistons. One knight drops instantly, blade cracking through his helmet into the eyes, blood spraying. Another charges, grabbing Paul from behind — Paul kicks the knight in front of him, sending him sliding across the floor. The knight behind Paul tries to hold him; Paul snaps his head back, bashing the enemy's face, denting his helmet, breaking the grip, then steps forward and hurls an axe. It whistles through the air and pins the attacker against the wall.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAyMXCyDFNuZ
BAM.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWQZS0mJoUO
The warm wooden shack is becoming unrecognizable.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6kqGyzKYIN
Paul drops his remaining axe and turns toward the last knight.
69Please respect copyright.PENANA4DklTsUCkD
The knight stumbles back, voice cracking as he begs. Hands exposed outwardly.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzjvUetC0V8
Knight:(whimpering, pleading)
“Please…”
69Please respect copyright.PENANArBm9DsTzt2
Paul pulls off the man’s helmet and ends the fight with his bare hands — relentless, heavy strikes delivering cracks at terrifying speed.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAd8ZhgNL7zh
The knight collapses over the counter, unmoving.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAPm9GizvkTP
Paul stands in the center of the wreckage, chest heaving, soaked in sweat from his final fury.
69Please respect copyright.PENANASvYj8namAH
Traeven grips the doorframe, frozen, ready to bolt.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAO9DD9jtw14
Then the largest knight steps forward.
69Please respect copyright.PENANARnkKhaeBAi
Sword drawn.
69Please respect copyright.PENANACZjalELofL
Paul reaches up and grabs two more axes — one large, one small. He hurls the large one, but the knight deflects it with his blade. Paul grabs another small axe and charges.
69Please respect copyright.PENANABcH1LLfF3T
The knight’s sword drives into Paul’s stomach as he barrels forward.
69Please respect copyright.PENANATALInJShPk
Paul doesn’t stop.
69Please respect copyright.PENANADths9jmJIz
He pushes deeper onto the blade, roaring from somewhere primal.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAijB46GRGgs
PAUL:(nasty, terrifying)
EEEEYYYEARHHH!
69Please respect copyright.PENANAV3goayKkoX
He hooks an axe into the knight’s helmet, ripping it free, then strikes again with the other — one decisive blow to the neck, another hand stacks the forehead, dividing the face— A Ruthless Finish.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAU9JTJIo3Gk
A Final Factality.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAK7yNl3rS48
Paul collapses to his knees, the sword sliding free as he falls to the floor, coughing blood, gasping for air. The large knight topples forward, shaking the entire shack.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAuv1w0l1Swt
Outside, the rain softens.
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtf2Ak2xndu
Traeven stands frozen, breath trembling, then slowly backs out of the doorway and flees into the night.
