A brief respite from the barrage came as Ildris slammed into the creature’s back and it staggered forwards. Kallinvar took advantage of the Vitharnmír’s lost footing by dropping low and carving his Soulblade through its knee. The Vitharnmír collapsed on its back, thrashing and hissing, its dual-tone voice sending shivers through Kallinvar, the runes in its armour blazing. “For Rialis.” Kallinvar grasped the hilt of his Soulblade with both hands and drove it down between the Vitharnmír’s eyes.
