Warrior of the Sun[edit]
Domninating Radiance[edit]
The dreaded vampire king looks down upon the weak and frail human standing before him. The human is almost quivering in fear, with a giant golden ax on the ground behind him. It is almost morning. The vampire scoffs that this is the champion sent to defeat him, and as the king strikes the human down with a ray of darkness, the first rays of sunshine break through the window. All of a sudden, the human transforms, becoming ripped with muscles and the attack breaks in front of him. Holding the massive ax with just a single hand, he precedes to slice not only the vampire but the throne and the wall behind the king in half with a single strike. As the vampire falls to the ground and dies, he only watches as the human becomes more and more powerful as the sun gets higher in the sky.
