Chapter 18: A Dark Purge

There was very little time to react to the twisted man’s power, but Alyssa was able to summon a portal into oblivion, which all of the tendrils entered and disappeared. The twisted man did not look pleased as he gazed cruelly at Alyssa.

“Kill her associates!” The twisted man shouted to his guards, which divided into two groups; three went after Derek and three went after Markus.

“This is more than I bargained for with you!” Derek shouted as he threw one of his daggers at the guards and struck him in the eye causing him to fall to the ground dead. He then unsheathed two fairly long daggers and began fighting with the two remaining guards. Markus was able to kill one of the soldiers off with his crossbow before retreating further back in the room to reload.

“I’ll offer you one final chance to surrender, sorceress.” The twisted man spit out now glaring furiously at Alyssa as he slowly approached her.
