"You dare ignore a great skeleton of my status, you lowly worm?!"
"Uhh…"
"Tsk, perhaps more torture will make you more obedient…"
The General swung his claw toward Elayne, aiming to leave a permanent scar on her face.
However, a large skeletal hand wreathed in black flames intercepted his arm. Mark had awakened, his empty eye sockets blazing with blue flames.
"You…?!"
The General snarled, retracting his arm before delivering a barrage of kicks and punches that cracked Mark's bones.
"Mark!"
Elayne cried out, embracing Mark to shield him from the onslaught.
Yet Mark gently pushed her aside, absorbing the full brunt of the attack.
