Chapter 812 Reaper From Hell

• The Ruby Viper's scream grew shriller as it arrowed straight for Gideon, the black-robed elder. Sensing the death coiled inside that blade, Gideon forgot the boy, turning instead to snatch the dagger from midair.
• Blood-red energy flared around his hand, a crimson gauntlet of brute force—yet the Viper pierced it as though it were smoke, drilling clean through flesh and bone. Blood sprayed across the dank walls.
• The blade did not slow. It curved in a graceful arc, looping behind Gideon before darting again for the center of his brow.
