DEATH AND BETRAYAL

Warlock didn't even have time to fight back when he felt his own body being ripped apart by the shadow tendrils.

What was happening before Theo's eyes was very fast. He was stunned when Warlock's blood sprayed on to his face and cloak.

And in the next second, after ripping apart Warlock's body, the shadow tendrils targeted Theo. However, this time he gained his bearings just in time and dodged it.

Theo threw back his body and bumped into Kyle behind him. "What is that?!" he was taken aback, he thought the enemy was only what he was seeing before his eyes, little did he know, the true enemy was behind his back and now he sent himself into their very hands.

Theo's focus was on the dark tendrils in front of him and the dead body of his fellow general, therefore, it was too late for him to realize when Kyle seized his hands as Rowan slashed his throat.
