"We will see…", what exactly was Elise talking about. The commander's blade was coming down straight for his heart and she was kneeling back to the blade as it descend.
Yet she was still there and then it happened and the next sound he heard broke him to a fit but he couldn't move. He tried to look away in disbelief.
"Don't look away."
But Leon couldn't close his eyes. The void blade descended toward his heart until Elise threw herself between them.
Steel punched through her back. Emerged from her chest. Black energy crackled around the wound where hellish force met mortal flesh.
It pointed edge gleaming with blood dripping on him. Elise!!!
The commander's weapon withdrew with a wet sound. Void corruption spread from the hole in Elise's chest, preventing normal healing magic from taking hold.
