Crash!
Adonis's human-skin mouth stretched wider and wider, peeling away around him until Olivia's figure appeared.
"Ah, heretic!"
The Son of Burning beside them cried out. But before he could act, his expression suddenly turned cold. He plunged a hand into his own chest and pulled out a heart wreathed in black flames, still beating.
