Bab 133: The Nightmare Demon III [The crypt - Part VI]

-- POV Freya --

[Freyaaa !!]

My ears were ringing, I could feel the blood rushing through my body to allow me to move but it was so weak. My vision was almost blurred, my heartbeat and breathing echoed while all the sounds around me were inaudible. For the first time I was down on one knee, exhausted and in a state I never thought possible so quickly.

The wall of ice I had erected had stopped the axe dead in its tracks, and it had stuck in almost to the guard. All my soldiers were on their knees recovering from the fear while the Demon between us breathed out in disappointment. I was shaking, my arm, my stomach, my whole body was heavy and hurting but I had to move.

*OK, move Freya ! This... this is no time to be standing around...*
