General Voros, his throat slit by a single sword strike and bleeding out, gazed in grief and fury at the blood-red figure hovering in the air.
As for the purplish-black figure on the ground, he had completely ignored it.
Yet Xal'atath, whom he had overlooked, was about to do something utterly underhanded to him.
Before long, General Voros collapsed from excessive blood loss.
Xal'atath, which had been waiting for this moment, quickly approached General Voros and unleashed a flurry of attacks on his back.
With its blade fully repaired, the artifact dagger's armor-piercing power had improved considerably.
