Auden’s Blessing
“Lord God of Darkness, I’m not looking down on you, but unless you bring a whole group with you, you’ll only end up being the one he kills.”
“Even if I have to bring a whole group, I will still kill him.”
“How despicable.”
The moment the words left my mouth, Hod swiftly drew the massive sword from his back. A flash of silver light appeared beneath his feet, and he vanished.
My heart tightened. I immediately shot upward into the air. Sure enough, the instant I moved, Hod appeared exactly where I had been standing, gripping the greatsword with both hands, its blade dragging across the ground.
Then he disappeared again in another flash of silver.
