Chapter 71: {Volantis, the Tyrant of Bone}

When Seth Solar reached the fifteenth floor, he found the entire place covered in pitch black darkness He started to e up the area to reveal a narrow hallway The hallway's walls were decorated with stone carved into the shape of countless bones

Skulls, ribs, femurs - any type of bone froe creatures Seth had no idea about

He saw ahead that Valus and the Butcher had stopped in front of a large door co a nearly solid veil which they were hesitant to pass through

"Go!" shouted Seth "You're our scouts, aren't you?"

"I do not have the greatest feeling about what lies past this wall," said Valus

"Dangerous," agreed the Butcher

"Yeah?" Seth's eyes shone "Is It going to be any worse than h it, or you die"

Seth was alht Overdrive poas less efficient than his father's Where his father could faht for three days without rest and without even losing strength, Seth could only fight at high strength for six hours

It had not been six hours yet, but solar beay, and he had to use them liberally because most of the monstrosities here did not stay down from powerful punches They needed to burn to fully stay dead

Seth had enough energy in hihts, but he could not afford to waste power burning down the Butcher

Thankfully, Valus submitted to Seth and waved the Butcher forward

"Come on, Butcher, show us the way," said Valus

"Don't want to," said the Butcher

"You must," said Valus

Butcher shook his head

"Here, how about this, you go ahead, and I'll give you as many people to carve up as you want," said Valus "As many as you want!"

"Really? As leefully and hopped in delight, his rolls of stitched fat and flesh jiggling as he did so

"Yes, as o!" The Butcher i

"If I get out of this alive," said Valus "The Trident will hear of your o," said Seth

Valus sighed and

"My instincts are…telling o," said Zayn By now, he had e car, his ars His eyes gleamed red while he tried his hardest to utter out words froh this beak

"Yeah, but what choice do we have? You of all people should know this," said Seth He patted Zayn's back If there was anyone in this world that Seth respected or even remotely cared about, it was Zayn They were both born and bred for lives they had no choice to live

Where Seth was born to be a villain, Zayn was genetically engineered to be a monstrosity, an obscene hidden corporate experiment in the middle east where Alterhuman wombs were inseminated with Variant seed Zayn would have been bred to be a half hu, but he had escaped, becoe of ten to survive

"True…," Zayn

Seth followed shortly behind

Beyond the fog gate was a circular space two hundredwas do into a central point Each of these spines ended with a huge lizard-like skull

A total of twelve skulls stared at the center of the dolowed

The walls of this place were decorated with bone as well, and at the center, a towering throne coether stood tall Seated atop the throne was an enorether

It was hard to tell whether the thing was actually a man or not It sat so perfectly still that it was debatable whether it just a piece of armor

The armor was obsidian black and practically oozed threat The arh spikes around the shoulders and arms Around the breastplate down to the torso, the ed scales

Dull white, al particularly heavily around the gauntlet areas to for, fleshy crimson red that seemed almost alive in a raw, primal way

The hele horns, the e of a bone capped, bladed crown There was no gap in the helle glowing red orb at the center of the helo!" said Seth after he stood in awe for a few seconds at the armor A sense of dreadful power emanated from the obsidian construct that made it hard for anyone to approach
