Unyielding (Part 1)

"Beloved, the Abyssal River is yours. Subdue it within half an hour, or get ready to collect my corpse. Meantime, I will do a co-op with Dolma. The sooner you succeed, the sooner it ends." Taking a jesting tone, Harun lay down the battle plan. Restless under the weight of the Undying Crow's intolerable pressure, Mukri backpedaled and shifted his gaze between Harun and Jiyan. "Boss, do we really want to do this? Not to bring down the troops' morale but…I'm not feeling this," Mukri laid his fears bare. Harun wasn't the only one to conclude that by giving up their new puppet, they might avoid this abomination's attention. However, neither Birandar nor Jiyan believed in procrastination. It all had to end now. Realizing that he couldn't sway their intent, Mukri lowered his head, cursing all the heavens for his superiors' lack of sensitivity.
