Chapter 43: The Accomplice

A dozen bodies now headed for Cliff. Their expressionless faces and glazed-over eyes stared into his soul, pleading with him to join them. He charged more psynergy into his shotgun, releasing it in a wide spray and hitting most of the risen warriors. But as soon as they fell down, more stood up. At this rate, it wouldn't be long until they overwhelmed him.

"My name is Cliff Walden, from the Guild of Dimensional Knights." Cliff called out. "I’m merely looking for the other members of my squad, nothing more! Please, I wish to do you no harm."

"Oooh..." the voice cooed. "Another Dimensional Knight...how lucky for me. The other ones fell for this trap just like you did. I should have known."

"What?!" Cliff shouted. "Where are they now?"

"Right under your feet."

Cliff's body began to tremble.

"Here, let me find them all for you!" the voice rasped happily. "It’ll be a reunion."
