after slaying a few more that lunged at him he ran straight into the darkness. What he found was more darkness. He thought Andras had just cast a thin layer of mist around the area he was fighting off wolves but no such luck. He ran deeper and deeper in but the dark mists never faded and he never ran into one of the demons that were in a circle around him when he started fighting Andras. Clearly, Andras had become a better sorcerer than Murmur had seen in all of the battles where he was forced to carry his gear. Murmur guessed that he pulled out all of his powers for one-on-one battles but was forced to use different spells on the battlefield.
Murmur pulled a small stone from his pocket. Shadow had given it to him a long time ago and it glowed with a bright, white light. He had his suspicions where it had come from. He had heard the rumors about Shadow’s father collaborating with the angels. Even after Shadow gave him the stone, he insisted his father wasn’t a traitor so Murmur assumed there was more to the story.
Murmur held the stone in the air and said the words Shadow had taught him when they were kids.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.”
As the final words left Murmur’s mouth, light began spreading out from the stone. He quickly put it back in his pocket as the light spread out from where he had held it and dissipated the dark mists. When the final remains of the darkness faded away, Murmur saw a very surprised looking Andras.
“But… you don’t have any magic. How the hell did you…”
Murmur threw one of his mallets as hard as he could and it connected with Andras’ jaw. He fell to the ground bleeding and unconscious. Murmur walked over to him and lifted his other mallet high in to the air. As he brought it down, Nightmare caught the weapon and thrust him back.
“Tannin was lying. There is no army surrounding us. Kill them all.”
This was the moment Tannin was talking about. The moment Nightmare discovered his bluff. Murmur pulled the smoke grenade from his belt and threw it at the ground. Then he sprinted after Tannin and his small group of demons, as they were already fleeing.
CHAPTER 11
“We can’t move in and kill them. He steals your soul if you get too close.”
“And that’s what you want to tell Agrat? She’ll kill us all.”
“I don’t think we should be expected to kill Leech the angel slayer. If the angels couldn’t do it…”
Leech grinned. Apparently his made up title had spread as far as Vixen’s army. When they first surrounded the two of them, Leech had killed several of them simply by using his parasitic touch at its new extended range. He used the added strength to shoot any demons with long-range weapons. Archers, snipers, and any other demons that looked like they could be a threat from outside the range of his parasitic touch were swiftly killed off by Leech. Lilith killed several demons on her own before the two of them were surrounded.
One of the minor demons stepped forward with a commanding presence.
“Don’t come any closer, Lord Leech. Agrat is on her way down and I will not allow you to…”
Leech took a step towards the demon which put him in range of his new ability. He had his life force drained within seconds and he shot a bullet right between the eyes of the demon on his left.
“None of you are in any position to make any threats or demands of me. You’re done attacking the two of us and all of you will sit down and shut the hell up until Agrat gets here.”
Demons looked at one another, wondering if he was serious.
“Sit the fuck down. Now.”
They all did as he commanded. Lilith looked like she really enjoyed the entire exchange and the power emanating from Leech but she wasn’t the one who spoke next.
“Just because you’re dating a bitch doesn’t mean
