192 Worry

Ilman's feelings bordered what humans would define as madness, but they were real. His gaze moved on Liiza as soon as the dark-green light of the lightning bolt filled the area. It was as if he could instinctively sense that she was in danger.

The lightning bolt pierced the Aduns' chest and released what remained of its power on the other side. Liiza couldn't do anything as the attack hit her right shoulder and flung her out of her ride.

The Aduns and Liiza started to fall as the Lysixi stretched its massive body forward to reach its prey. Similar scenes happened everywhere in the area as other giant monsters came out of the mountains and gorge. They all appeared as mutated versions of the lizard that the envoys had seen in the underground tunnels, but Ilman didn't care. His full attention was on the woman he loved falling toward the darkness.
