The chill in the freezer was swept away, and the cart that had held Zephyr's corpse was overturned outright.
Yet the two who had caused all this were evenly matched. Their fists pressed against each other, and neither retreated a single step!
Beside them, Moria's mouth dropped open in shock. The complete domination he had imagined never came. Even he had not expected Zephyr's body to be so powerful after merging with Barn's shadow!
