A new reign

It turned out that Arthur was stronger with Ereon as his familiar than the late mutant lord was.

As he flew over the large distance, Max could feel his insides churn and hear the sounds of bones cracking. When he finally hit the ground with much force, his arms dislocated.

"Arrgh!" He screamed in pain and the red pigment on his face increased.

[Regeneration in process]

Just before his regeneration could even become complete, he felt a sudden yet severe pain in his right thigh which probed him to look up.

"I see you're healing fast," Arthur said in a rather calm voice and placed more pressure on the boy's thigh underneath his shoe.

Max continued to scream in pain as the man drove the hard soole of his shoe into his thigh.

Afterwards, Arthur held out his hand and a baton-like weappn appeared in it. Immediately, he motioned his arm in the perfect position and brought the weapon against Max, who rolled over as a result of the attack.
