Bab 42: Threshold of Safety

Victor put a hand to his head, pushing the memories away, took a deep breath, looked at Elban and said:

"I may not be as powerful as you were when you were alive, but I believe I'm the only one in this village at the moment you stand a chance against a demon. So I'll try to help, but I can't promise anything. Where can I find this demon?"

Elban pointed in front of him, where the number of trees was greater and the forest was denser and darker. "He's asleep in a hidden cave, guarded by undead from all over the region who have been attracted by the aura it emanates."

"Undead?"

"Yes, Gravisk is a necromancer demon. A piece of information I would have loved to find this before I fought it."

Victor knew that a battle against a necromancer wouldn't be easy, but what could he do? 

Should he deny the request of his fellow hero's spirit and walk back to Agocester to watch it burn?
