"DIE!"
I did my best to move my body, frozen as the huge mace fell on me. I pushed myself hard, pumped mana into my legs.
And, somehow, I managed to throw myself aside.
The mace landed with a loud thud where I had stood only a second before. I felt the trembling of the ground all the way through my body.
But I couldn't stop yet.
I quickly regained my balance and started running.
"DON'T RUN! COME HERE! COME BACK! DON'T GO!"
My eyes widened when I noticed the shadow that suddenly fell on me from behind. I could see the swing of the mace through this shadow, but I had no chance this time.
I gritted my teeth, turned around out of the corner of my eye, looked directly into the brown eyes of the gigantic man, put as much mana as I could into my voice, and shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Stop!"
