A wave of shadows radiated out from him throughout the entire battlefield.

All the players, including Noah and Eve, collapsed to the ground. An overwhelming force seemed to have pushed them down.

“Noah? Tell me what happened!” Piper asked uneasily over the party radio.

“He’s dead!” Eve screamed, struggling in vain. “Drake is dead!”

The cyborg’s voice faltered. “This is bad.”

“Nooo!” Skylar and Alice cried out in anguish. “We are coming there!”

“Don’t!” Noah commanded. Walking into Jormungandr’s dominion meant inevitable death.

“Piper?”

“Tell me.”
