A Sword In the Tree

The screams lasted only a few seconds. But those few seconds seemed too long for such agonizing screams.

Erend, who saw and heard it, felt that the sound of Steve's screams coming from his crushed throat was disturbing.

Even he who had seen lots and lots of blood and organs splattered could not bear the sight and sound.

So he channeled more of his Magic energy into the layer of water that covered Steve's body to strengthen it.

The dark red flames kept trying to shoot out like a tongue sticking out of his body.

However, the evil Magic's efforts were canceled by the layer of water that Erend released.

'This is taking too long,' Erend thought.

At this rate, he would only run out of MP before he could kill Steve.

Steve's body condition was horrible. All of his skin was gone and his charred flesh fell like hard charcoal.

Erend walked closer to Steve who was still screaming. He also still maintained his concentration on the layer of water on Steve's body.
