our hearts in pieces.

Light and heat surged from Damian's body.

Andrew Lombrass—the Devil of the Deep—was thrown back, howling as tongues of flame lashed at his beastly skin. Chunks of inky flesh sloughed off his arms and chest, revealing white bone and pulsating organs blackened by the inky corruption of the Deep.

The wounds across Damian's chest healed as new power flooded through his body. His skin knitted over the gashes and scrapes, and even the white scars he'd sustained fighting Cardinal returned to their original smooth texture. 

Chains of fire burst from Damian's limbs, smashing into the marble floor and pillars. Chunks of stone came raining down along with loose fragments of glass, and the roof finally caved in, bringing down pieces of burning timber and scorching-hot ceramic tiles.

Each of the chains coalesced into a weapon, surrounding Damian with blazing swords, spears, and daggers.
