Shattered

After witnessing what just happened, Elydir started to retreat while at the same time that a blue talisman appeared inside his hand. He wouldn't risk continuing here, since all the people he brought with him, died to his enemies. 

He gave one last look to Caizhi and swore he would obtain her for himself, if she left the dungeon still alive. His fingers made a quick motion to tear the blue talisman apart, but he saw a black shadow passing in front of his eyes, and the talisman disappeared from his hand. 

Actually, his entire hand disappeared from his arm... 

"ARGH!!!!!!" 

Blood gushed out and Elydir knelt down of the floor while screaming in pain. 

There was a black specter in front of him, holding his severed hand and the talisman he was about to shred.
