Chapter 55: An Angel?
"What do we do now?!" Eva, eyes wide with fear, stared at Daniel and asked. Even she could feel the terrifying aura radiating from Orlin.
"Of course we run." Daniel stepped forward without hesitation and jumped onto Vorak’s shoulder. A crooked, confident smile curled on his lips.
"What?!" Eva gasped, grabbing onto Daniel’s arm.
"Are you kidding?! Did you see that monster?!"
Daniel cast a quick glance at Orlin, who was gently landing in the distance with his half-angel wings.
"Don’t be stupid. We can’t beat that monster right now. This is a pointless fight."
"Where do you think you’re going? The game’s only just begun..." Orlin’s smile widened. He stepped forward, his voice cutting through their ears like a dull dagger:
"Vorak! Down the valley! Don’t stop for even a second!" Daniel shouted immediately.
Vorak let out a loud roar. The ground shook under his paws as his massive body surged forward like a shadow through the valley.
"Azarak, pride... the rest of you—get moving, now!" Daniel barked his orders without pause, telling the other Fallen to leave the village and head toward him.
Eva was now riding behind him, hands trembling but tightly gripping Daniel’s waist. Her ragged breaths were swallowed by the howling wind.
