Bab 64: Father vs. Son

While Zayn's 'attack' ended up as nothing special, Jarick Cerk misunderstood the feint as a means of distraction, thereby allowing the other two Human Spirits and the Mocalw Bear Spirit to initiate a finishing blow.

However, that couldn't be further from the truth. The three Spirits were still wreaking havoc in the masses of the ordinary Undeads, while Zayn joined them to do exactly that as well.

But there were more than three Spirits in Zayn's small army, to begin with!

Jarick focused only on the things he had seen, not the things that couldn't be seen.

Thus, he was taken by surprise when he sensed something approaching him from behind.

It was no sooner that searing hot needles pierced deep into his neck.

Jarick saw black for a moment, he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground when more searing hot needles punctured his hands and kneecaps from behind.

His expression was one of utter surprise as he collapsed on the ground, unable to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground.
