*BOOM! BOOM!*
Two more explosions rocked the ground behind us. I could honestly feel some bits of rock and dirt pelting my back now. The guy was probably right behind us, but me running was giving us at least some semblance of time to evade the worst of it.
"It's no use running, Sir Rouge."
Shvt! Was that him?!
"I can assure you that your surrender won't end in the cruel deaths of yourself and your compatriots," Renatus called out behind me, his tone sounding wholly sincere despite his fists saying otherwise. "Don't make me hurt you more than what is necessary."
*BOOM!*
"Fvck!"
I almost slid backward as the ground behind me suddenly gave way. The sudden lack of footing made my heart skip a beat as I felt the call of death pulling me in for but a brief second, calling me to its embrace before I breathed out a sigh in relief as soon as my feet had some semblance of steady ground beneath them.
