Felrak groaned in agony, frantically moving as pain exploded through his head, desperate to distract Kireina. His headless body tore through space, racing toward the crack in the universe.
He was fleeing for his life.
"I can't fight her! I won't! That's a Star Shattering Realm Heart Cultivator! Damn it all! I refuse to face another one!"
Horrific memories surged through his mind. Felrak had once battled a foe who had utterly humiliated him, memories he had long sealed away so they would not haunt him in combat.
But Kireina had ripped those seals apart, flooding his consciousness with terror.
He remembered.
That man.
That small, insignificant man.
A blue-skinned cyclops, thin and gaunt, almost starved.
He appeared as a pathetic mortal in gray robes and wooden sandals.
He seemed utterly ordinary, yet...
With mere gestures, his Heart Essence formed a long azure shovel and hoe.
"AAAAHHH!"
