For a second, it felt as if the world had frozen still. The sound of his magic was so vivid. The air itself changed. It was so thick that it felt like breathing took twice the energy it used to. At that moment, I acted instantly and grabbed Yuki before the lich's magic tore through the city.
The ground shook from the massive release of power as the dark flames that erupted from its magic consumed everything in its path, incinerating them in an instant. I barely managed to escape with Yuki in time.
Yuki and I stood silent for a second, letting reality settle. The smoke from the lich's flames lingered in the distance as the screams from those unlucky enough to get caught up it the destruction slowly faded. Yuki and I watched from atop a building further way.
"That skeleton is crazy," Yuki spoke before breaking out in an hysterical laughter. "Did you see it? He almost got us!"
She cackled as she clutched her stomach.
