Nathan's grip tightened mercilessly around her throat, cutting off her air entirely. "I told you, Liphiel," he said, his voice as cold as death itself. "Killing me would come with consequences."
Liphiel clawed at his hand, her struggles futile against his overwhelming strength.
Without waiting for her to respond, Nathan summoned his magic. Darkness coiled around his form, and with a flick of his hand, flames erupted. The fire, born of his wrath and enhanced by his dark magic, ignited Liphiel's body.
"GAAAHYAAAAA!!!"
