I didn't need to see, to realise who I was up against.
"Run!" I shouted at Aoife and Inspector John with the last bit of air left in my lungs. My feet dangled in the air, high up above the sea below.
"Run?" The Ereth asked with a sly voice. "As if I would allow them to."
I noticed their eyes widen as A golden light radiated from the Ereth behind me.
"What…?" Aoife whispered as she stepped back. "I can understand him."
I gritted my teeth. I knew exactly what this was – the same spell Aelith had cast upon every single player. A spell to let a human understand their speech.
"How far the Pale Demon has fallen." The Ereth laughed. I felt the thing around my wait and chest wrap itself tighter around me. It was going to crack my ribs if this kept up.
