Jonathan's expression twisted into rage.
"LET GO! LET GO! WHY WON'T YOU LET GO?!"
His clawed foot came down and stomped on Damian's back.
CRACK
Ribs shattered and organs ruptured as Damian screamed through blood-filled lungs.
But his hand stayed locked on Jonathan's ankle.
Jonathan stomped again, his movements becoming frenzied.
CRACK
And again.
CRACK
"LET GO!"
His roar echoed across the battlefield.
But Damian's grip only tightened, his broken fingers refusing to release despite bones grinding together wrong.
Jonathan stopped stomping, breathing hard, his demonic face twisting through confusion and rage.
Then... something shifted in his glowing eyes.
The madness receded slightly, clarity breaking through for just a moment.
"I've read about you in detail once I got back from the portal, you know..."
His doubled voice came out calmer now, like the rational part of his mind was surfacing.
