Chapter 8 - THE HEART'S CONFUSION: LOVE'S SWEET BETRAYAL

He lost focus on the fight, but the battle was only beginning. Annika, witnessing the immense power Guion had just displayed, began to doubt him as well. She watched carefully from behind his back, her heart racing. Suddenly, she saw an enormous brick wall hurtling toward them from the direction John had thrown it. "Watch out!" she yelled at Guion.

However, his body felt numb; all his bones had been crushed by John. The only movement he could muster was to lift his head and look, standing there in a futile attempt to shield Annika with his own body, resigned to his fate. He believed he was destined to be crushed, losing hope for survival as the wall approached.

 When it struck him, it shattered into pieces upon impact, leaving him completely unharmed. He remained standing, as if nothing had happened. Annika, still crouched behind him, escaped injury as well.

After his failed strike, John felt challenged by Guion and was determined to kill him with all his might. He leaped into the air, landing a powerful blow from his massive right arm, crushing Guion to the ground. Then, he picked him up and hurled him through the car's hood, sending him crashing into the back seat.

Guion went right through the engine, creating so much friction that sparks flew, and the car exploded almost instantly. "Guion!!" Erick yelled in horror, but Annika remained bewildered by the unfolding chaos. "What the hell are you, Guion?" she whispered to herself, staring at the gaping hole where he had been, now engulfed in flames. John seized Annika from the ground and confidently walked away.

Erick, trying to stop him, struggled to stand, but he understood that Guion was no ordinary human. If anyone could challenge John, it was him. "Guion, whatever is holding you back, let it go! We need you now, brother!" he shouted. "Oh, what can he possibly accomplish?" John mocked. "Guion is dead. Just give up, Erick.

We can't beat him," Annika said, fear creeping into her voice. "He is dead? Ha! Obviously, you don't know him as well as I do," Erick replied, forcing himself to his knees. He gazed at the burning car and yelled, "Quit messing around, brother! Break free!!"

Boom! Another explosion erupted from the car, sending massive rocks tumbling down. When Guion finally emerged from the wreckage, he was no longer the same, he had transformed into a more powerful creature. He was significantly larger and more muscular, his skin darker, adorned with mysterious red markings. Sharp, pointed bones jutted from his elbows, and his eyeless skull resembled that of a Tyrannosaurus, while the back had the features of a triceratops. Long, flowing hair cascaded from the back of his skull, resembling a lion's mane.

 With his hands still trapped in the car, he unleashed an immense shockwave with a primal roar. His mouth opened wide, reminiscent of a dragon, revealing teeth and a thick, pointed tongue. His roar echoed throughout the city, even causing John to be swept off his feet, forcing him to release Annika.

Once free, she was propelled toward Rick, who caught her and shielded her from the debris and dust by turning his back to the storm, pressing her face against his chest.

Realizing the imminent threat, John quickly understood he had to act before it was too late. He hurled a car at Guion, but he saw it coming. Drawing sword-like bones from both wrists, he sliced through the vehicle, passing through unscathed. The remnants of the car crashed into nearby homes. Guion landed beside John and immediately whipped him with his tail.

However, John grabbed it with his massive hand, spinning Guion around and tossing him along the roadside, where he crushed a long line of houses as he fell. Nevertheless, he quickly regained his footing.

 John leaped once more to deliver another blow, and Guion responded in kind. They collided with a tall building, both of them poised to fall back down. However, John used his tentacles to cling to the wall while kicking Guion off. But Guion caught his leg, using it to climb onto him, locking his legs around John's waist and delivering two powerful punches to his face.

As he tried to defend himself, the building began to crumble, causing panic among the residents who fled their homes. Many stood at a safe distance, filming the epic battle.

 Being so close to John made it difficult for him to utilize his larger limbs, and Guion seized the opportunity. He continued to pummel John's face with his right hand while gripping John's smaller arm with his left. After taking four punishing blows, John had had enough. He plunged his tentacles into Guion's shoulders and neck, causing Guion considerable irritation. In response, he released John's smaller arm, leaving himself vulnerable. John seized the moment to punch him in the gut, causing Guion to loosen his grip slightly.

John then attempted to throw Guion away with his massive hand, but Guion extended the claws of his right hand, embedding them into John's forearm and pulling himself closer. However, John retaliated by puncturing Guion's abdomen with his left limb. Using his right hand, he ripped off a chunk of the wall next to the window and hammered Guion through it.

After smashing through ten walls, Guion found himself in a bedroom, where a terrified black family was hiding in the closet. Enraged, he stormed at John, who realized that Guion was only growing faster and stronger.
