Kaelith laughed. "You are now in my domain. I can take my time beating the shit out of you now." He didn't need to point at the blood pool we were standing in.
"Tch." I was already feeling the effect; it was interfering with the light magic I had out. I had to get out of this puddle of blood that covered half the room, and there was only one way to do that. Run.
I took off, sloshing through the pool, but suddenly dodged sideways as a whip that cut like a blade sliced through where I had been. My heart was beating like a small bird trapped in a cagethis was dangerous. How would this bastard attack next?
I jumped just as blood spikes jutted out like the fangs of some monster. Then more whip blades rose, and all I could think about was move sideways, jump, crouch. I moved like a machine, bending this way and that.
