Rumaal stared at the two monsters, his expression twisting with horror and rage.
His second wife had been killed before his eyes, only for her remains to become two grotesque woodland creatures that now stood among their enemies.
"YOU—!"
He surged forward, his Spirit Essence erupting around him.
But Kanis immediately moved to intercept him.
"Don't rush blindly toward... them!" Kanis warned.
Rumaal turned toward him with bloodshot eyes.
"'Them'? What the fuck do you mean by 'them'? That's my wife!"
"Look at them with your own eyes, my friend," Kanis snapped back. "She WAS your wife. Not anymore. And if you throw your life away now, you'll accomplish nothing!"
His words forced Rumaal to hesitate, though the fury in his expression remained.
Anaah moved closer to her husband, her face pale but her eyes sharp. She had known Mirelle for years. Whatever their personal differences, witnessing such a fate befall someone who had shared their lives was deeply disturbing.
