Chapter 35: One Shot

Zamson accelerated without much thought of the chaos unfolding behind him. The finish line awaited him. So did the vampyrial in the white suit holding a giant bone sword.

Noctavion.

Naia cut a concerned eye at Zamson. Zamson stayed on Noctavion. Pandemona kept going. Zamson refused to ease off the gas. Competition roared at his rear. Princeton and Soul defended his back. The Crimson Devils were wasted in seconds.

Several more Crimson Devils dropped behind Noctavion. The Lord of Crime readied his sword. Pandemona closed in fast. Chaser and Sylphi hung back. Princeton and Soul yanked their wheels as both cars swung sideways and skidded to a halt.

Every other car in the race frantically swung around them. The fight for victory continued. Zamson preserved his speed. Naia sat tight and ready. Noctavion narrowed his eyes, grinning. The grim red lights of Pandemona washed over him.
