Everyone was inside the cave near the entrance when they saw a small figure with its back turned to them. On her back, there was a saber made of bones that almost touched the ground; it was a little girl dressed in the typical black attire of an evil cultivator. At first glance, she looked human, but a strange and suffocating mortal Yin energy emanated from her, causing an instinctive and unsettling strangeness as if it were something inherently evil.
"You... how dare you? It seems I didn't hit you enough to shut up."
The girl murmured in a strange frenzy, reaching the point of not even noticing the people behind her. The air felt freezing, and even the sound from nature outside the cave seemed to stop.
The dwarf's eyes trembled, but his pride forced him not to bow. In desperation, he looked at his fallen companions, then quickly spotted the people at the cave entrance, and his eyes lit up.
"Lord Detue!" He spoke in a pleading manner.
