The blade pierced his chest.
Blood spilled across the altar.
The room exploded into celebration.
Kai stumbled backward from the door.
For several seconds he couldn't speak.
The man who had saved him.
The man who had pulled him away from the Red Imp.
---
Dead.
---
Just like that.
Andre's jaw tightened.
"Those bastards."
The crowd inside continued celebrating.
Some laughed.
Some prayed.
Some eagerly approached the altar.
Kai didn't want to know why.
Unfortunately—
Andre accidentally kicked a loose bucket.
---
CLANG.
---
The noise echoed through the hallway.
Silence.
The chanting stopped.
Inside the chamber—
Every head slowly turned toward the door.
Kai and Andre froze.
The Rabbit Priest smiled.
A very unpleasant smile.
"Intruders."
The crowd erupted into angry shouting.
Kai grabbed Andre.
"RUN!"
