A thin veil of Red Mist dropped down froe Marwayne Parker had thought that it would be as intolerable as the ly, however, he felt fine

If he took a deep breath, he could sense a hint of cool wetness in the surroundings The demon commander had told him that the Mist contained the essence of a life fors any harthen them Only witches, their mortal enemy, would suffer a fatal power rebound

”My lord, the Sky Lord sent an auard entered the study and reported, ”He's waiting for you in the yard”

Marwayne nodded silently and said, ”Ask hiht away”
