BAB3 Wrap Up
Yo, that's a wrap on Bond Arsenal 3! That final arc was a doozy to write.
Holy shit—a lot happened. But it was a whole lot of fun and very badass, in my personal opinion.
This book had the most action of any book I’ve ever written before. Please remind me to never try to close that many plot threads during the same event ever again. I’m exhausted.
If you’ve enjoyed the book here, please consider leaving a review on Ama...

The battle became less about individuals and more about synchronized strength as a whole, each fighter bolstered by the power of the Territories surrounding them.
The final wave dragged on, stretching into the late afternoon before the spawn rate finally began to slow.
But with that lull came the most powerful monstrosities of the day—the final wave bosses.

The twilight black butterflies swirled faster and faster, forming spirals of motion until reality folded around them like origami.
Color bled into monochrome lines. Black-and-white...
