The skeleton's fractured skull slowly got closer to me. The blue light from the paper within the skull seemed to get brighter.
As for the thunder that rampaged through my body, it was making it harder and harder to move. Even my thoughts became clouded. The skeleton's hand kept slipping forward, pushing past my mangled hand.
I could tell in the next second I was going to lose my hold, but I didn't do anything about it.
Then, the skeleton's hand slipped out of my grasp, tearing through the burnt flesh of my hand.
An audible crack rang out.
The skeleton in front of me froze in place because a dagger pierced through its back. There was a painful scream from the piece of blue paper. Several bone fragments fell from that half of the skeleton. It ran away, but shot a glance at the bones it left behind.
I let out a soft sigh and looked at the dagger.
"Took you a while."
