I gotta say that I think that the last chapters are ridiculous. Frankie had his powers for over 820 years and it got stronger all the time, with him letting the dark spear absorb elders, modified humans and modified werewolves. Dr Crombel only had that power for about 10 years (more or less), so how in the h*ll could he be almost as strong as Frankie? Of course Frankie won in the end but he got a lot of injuries from a power that shouldn't be even close to as stong as his own. So I think that was just ridiculous. I don't know what the author was thinking... =/
But Frank wasn't fighting for 820 yrs. When he did fight he had to hold back or be consumed. Crombel's power was not sentient so even though it was weaker he could go all out. He was also enhanced by that stone. That's my take.
Spoiler alert:
