Stall for as long as you can, try to tire him out. We must run." His monotone betrayed no emotion despite the situation, but she didn't relent either. Even through the calm shadows, no blade of mine would reach him. It was receding, sure, but the red skinned human now burned with flaming wings and an aura of pure heat, to the point that even as retreat from the wall around him was sounded, she could see minor routs of panicking people.Īt least not even his allies dared approach him, but she knew whoever was in command would soon send over whoever they could to reinforce the soon-to-be-true-saint.
