"DIE!"
I did my best to move my body, frozen as the huge mace fell on me. I pushed myself hard, pumped mana into my legs.
And, somehow, I managed to throw myself aside.
The mace landed with a loud thud where I had stood only a second before. I felt the trembling of the ground all the way through my body.
But I couldn't stop yet.
I quickly regained my balance and started running.
"DON'T RUN! COME HERE! COME BACK! DON'T GO!"
My eyes widened when I noticed the shadow that suddenly fell on me from behind. I could see the swing of the mace through this shadow, but I had no chance this time.
I gritted my teeth, turned around out of the corner of my eye, looked directly into the brown eyes of the gigantic man, put as much mana as I could into my voice, and shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Stop!"
This man... was several times stronger than me. At least he must have been, because the only thing my voice did was to slow his movement a little, to make him seem like he was hesitating.
