Gone

Vampire King Apollyon

Immobilized by the severe burns inflicted by the sword, the snake spirit strangled the griffin's neck with its form before opening its jaws wide enough to swallow it whole.

It was a good thing that his wife was quick enough to pull her heavy sword out of the griffin's neck before prancing back to the serpent's head and settled up there!

The griffin's wings sprawled as it flapped at the roof of the snake's wide-open mouth, and its hind legs continued to kick at the seams of its muzzle.

"Luna!" Apollyon bellowed in anguish, wishing that she heard him in her mind.

He moved about, unable to stand still and settled in one place.

As his gaze returned on the giant serpent, Apollyon's muscles jumped under his skin as he clenched his fists.
