"Darkness rise, light devours; emissaries of black talismans, generals in black armor… Heed my call… Swiftly, as the law decrees!"
As Myla chanted the spell, the black talisman flared with dark light and transformed into a black armored general twice her height.
Raising a hand, the general swung it forcefully toward the evil master.
The evil master's eyes flew wide open. She was shameless to use a mystic arts malevolent talisman as a universal traveler!
Myla met his glare with a casual raise of her chin and a cold snort. As an evil master, how could she have expected her to play fair?
With a single mighty strike, the general smacked the evil master away. She seized the chance to slash through the defensive barrier with a soul note.
As she tore the straw doll to shreds, she went straight for the barrier around Dennis. But the moment her phantom tether came into contact with the array, an overwhelming force suddenly hurled her soul backward.
Worse, the soul note meant to break the array seemed redirected by the array to change its target and aim toward her.
Myla's heart almost stopped in shock, but there was no time to dodge.
Just as she raised her arm and was ready to take the hit head-on, a figure lunged from the rooftop. He spread his arms wide and shielded her with his body.
Vincent?
Myla's pupils constricted violently. Her first instinct was to push him away, but she couldn't touch him in soul form. So, she had to cry out. "Move!"
But it was too late.
The phantom tether raced toward Vincent's chest, about to pierce right through his heart. But when it touched him, a wave of intense negative energy wrapped around his body.
Trapped in the negative energy, the tether could no longer advance an inch further. Then, a large hand reached out and seized it firmly.
