37 37: Tomb of Gods

The General of the Empire of Greed ran from the battlefield as fast as he could, worried that Azekiel could catch up to him. There came a time when he even stopped caring for his fellow men, leaving the ones who couldn't keep up behind.

He didn't stop for anybody. Unfortunately, even that wasn't enough for him to get out safely. He stopped his horse, gazing into the distance. Azekiel was standing before him.

"H-how did he...?" With a blank face, he gazed back, only to find an empty field behind him. All his men were missing. There was not a single soldier behind him anymore.

"I think you've run enough. It's time to take some rest," Azekiel commented, advancing closer to the General, who felt his heart thumping.

The General tried turning his horse and leaving in a different direction; however, before he could even move, Azekiel appeared just inches away from him.
