Kortopi Versus Absalom

"Come, Kortopi"

The black smoke in front of Raith suddenly plunged higher like a raging flame, then calmed down again as if it was taunting a particular person who was already scared enough from the undisputed energy of death that associated itself with Raith.

The smoke materialized to form a black humanoid on his knee facing Raith, with one hand touching the ground, another hand to his chest, and bowing on one knee Kortopi appeared before Raith.

Raith looked at Absalom with a smirk, "Now, proof that you are worthy of fighting me." He said to Absalom and put his hands in his pocket as Kortopi stood up and turned to Absalom.

Absalom gritted his teeth, 'How? How in the world is this possible?! What is this thing, it doesn't feel alive one bit and it has something like our fiendish energy... no, this... this is even purer...'

Absalom's hand was already shaking and he didn't even realize it.
