บท 164: Divine curse

"Go to hell!"

Orion's purpose in pursuing Aella was clear: to kill both her and the will projection of Lord Ariel. He had no interest in wasting words.

Gripping his trident tightly, Orion activated Titan's Rage and Swift Charge, launching himself forward like a thunderbolt.

Boom!

Aella, her expression cold and emotionless, slowly reached behind her back and tore off her tattered wings. Holding them like weapons, she swung one of the wings, deflecting Orion's trident.

"Damn giant! You've cost me two of my kin!" 

Orion stared at Aella's battered body, scorched and broken by the earlier lightning strike. Or rather, he stared at what was left of her. It was clear that Aella had already died during the thunderhawk's attack. What now controlled her body was Lord Ariel's will projection.
