In front of me lay a withered forest and hundreds of wyvern corpses. Lilith's bloodlust was strong enough to kill the trees, making them wither and turn gray as the leaves fell off. Every plant and animal that once occupied the wyvern king's territory was now dead.
"Lilith…" I said as I watched her stare at me.
My void hounds were already spread out through the forest. That was how I planned to escape her. I killed her son. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that she would come after me. Just as those thoughts crossed my mind, I felt Lilith's scorching hot hands grab my wrist.
She was so fast that I didn't even see her move. Claws burst from my hand and were immediately engulfed in flames, but at the last second, I froze.
There was no killing intent coming from her. And I knew full well that if there had been, I would've been dead already. This woman's power was just that unbelievable.
Instead of anger or rage, the emotions on her face seemed remorseful.
