Orange mana seeped out of Loh’s body and her Black Amber spell crumbled apart. She gasped in painful short breaths and looked up in a daze at the axlean looming over her. Though she had missed, his shirt had been torn away by her attack and his grey sleek chest was bare. A green gem sat embedded in his sternum, glowing faintly.
“What… What is that…?” Loh mumbled aghast.
“I promised I would never suffer such a humiliating loss again.” Grim smiled maliciously, a glint of insanity in his milky-white eyes. “So I made a deal with a very— unique individual.”
Grim reached down and wrapped his long fingers around her throat. She gasped weakly as he pulled her up by the neck and sneered in her face. “Tell me, how does it feel? The life fading from your body?”
“Y-You… tell… m-me…” she choked out.
Grim chuckled, “Still prideful even now, huh?” He squeezed her throat tighter, or rather, he tried to. His grip felt flimsy and he couldn’t seem to put strength into his arm. A cold chill began to seep up his trembling arm and across his body. He suddenly felt incredibly tired. “What the—?”
