"I welcome Her Great Majesty, the Insect Queen, to descend upon the Divine Kingdom!"
"This mighty human shall be Horath's offering to You!"
Horath spread his arms, embracing the void and the sky full of writhing insectoid runes. He was channeling the descent of Insect Queen Moriphara's Divine Kingdom, intending to offer Evander's powerful Demigod phantom as a living sacrifice.
"Do not push me too far!" Evander roared, his voice laced with desperate fury. "Perhaps we can still negotiate."
Evander was a Demigod powerhouse, and a remarkably pragmatic one at that. He was highly intelligent and cared little for meaningless pride. He saw exactly what Horath was attempting, and it filled him with absolute rage. Yet, even on the precipice of death, he forcibly suppressed his anger, trying to bargain for his survival.
Unfortunately, Horath gave him absolutely no quarter. He was dead set on sacrificing the human.
