Dick went flying through a building and fell a few meters away from me. But I didn't have time to worry about him as I was pinned to the ground by a foot as big as ten times my face.
"I thought you said he was just going to watch?" Dick threw up some blood and got up.
Xerphas pressed his feet on my chest so hard that my lungs exhausted the rest of the air it had left. I couldn't talk. I couldn't reach my sword either. It was about two feet away from me. Xerphas was sure taking his sweet time playing with my fleeting life. I couldn't breathe, so it was harder to maintain focus. But I tried to cast a spell. It didn't work. I reached out for the sword and it wasn't working either.
Just a little more….
"Give it up mortal. You were valiant for an insect, but it all ends here," Xerphas grinned. His breath smelled horrible and he croaked and rattled all the while.
