Tobius really knew what an astral imprint is imposed on a person who has committed the worst of sins against his relatives. The curse falls on such a criminal with an eternal stigma and pursues him to death, even if he did this evil indirectly, with the wrong hands. Such a person will not know peace anywhere and never. And Radovan executed his relatives personally, which aggravated his fate many times. In Westerreich, the executioners could not even live among other people, they always had separate houses only for themselves and their families, so that no one would stay under the same roof with them. And the young wizard condemned the bloodshed, did not accept the paths that led through the bodies. Such ways that Radovan Karapsua came to power, having received several nicknames among the people. "Crimson", "Fierce" and ... "Executioner". The Gray Master remembered the day he saw Captain Zheloran,Nuagrimg is a strong and resilient alloy from which Dwarves forge elite weapons and armo

Thobius turned, swaying dangerously in his saddle, and looked at the huge skeletons in the distance.“So when our people left Dubram, they had to work hard to remove the crumpled doors and what was left of the lattice from the road.When the stone massif of Dubram hung over them, people, without saying a word, fell silent. The soldiers took out crossbows and pistols, Ser Richard, passing under the arch of the gate, pulled the string and began to drive the bow from side to side. Tobius was ready to take off from his saddle and use his battle magic as Chaplain Gosef rode, swinging his heavy hammer in his right hand. Why he volunteered to go on this sortie, the cleric did not explain - he only said that he was obeying the will from above, which made the soldiers look at each other in bewilderment.Dubram's courtyard was empty, save for a few fires with empty skewers, long cooled and partly washed out by the rain. Stables, forges, warehouses were completely or partially destroyed, there w

The demon was smart enough to understand that he was simply being starved out. With a howl of rage, he severed the magic ropes. The bully shattered into chips from one full-fledged slap in the face, from the second the Reaper broke. Anatar lunged at the earth elemental, crashing into the rock of its body with its horned head, and with two swipes of its claws tore the summoned creature apart. Having finally finished with the water elemental, the demon rushed to hitherto methodically strumming the bowstring Arrow, but Tobius managed to lift the last surviving golem to the ceiling and glue it there, safely. He cast several prepared spells on himself: Cat Reflexes, Invulnerability, Painkiller. With such a set of simple charms, he could emerge victorious from a battle with ten perfectly trained human warriors, but a demon raged below, who, in a fit of hungry rage, began to throw pieces of furniture and pieces of stone left from the elemental at the wizard. Realizing that it was useless,

"Char Thobius, have you traveled a lot?"“Probably not as many as you, sire.Have you met monsters?— I had to.- Me too. I remember once we encountered a jackalot. That creature devoured many children.“Jackalots are not monsters, they are beasts. Smart, strong and very dangerous, but still animals.“Don't be so quick to judge until you're face to face with these creatures.- Fair.- Who have you met?Tobius hid the book in his bag.— With many. If we discard petty evil spirits like pasatuksh, vadurgs and other zealots, then there will still be a lot left. I remember once I foolishly wandered into a cursed place, and there ... I still don’t know what those creatures were called, but it was a miracle that we survived then. Although not unambiguous. There was a case when I had to run away from Murza. Although Murz is also a beast. And once we encountered a Dezrimzen [Carnivorous tree monster that can move quickly.], this creaky creature was chasing us ... chasing for a long time, I mus

There were very few materials in Valemar that could withstand the impact of something as unusual as solid magic - neither steel, nor granite, nor even diamond could withstand it.Descending from the heavens, Tobius sat motionless for a long time on the blood-pink snow, gazing with empty eyes as the parzud's orbiting eyes slowed down. This ancient monster evolved its regenerative abilities to the point of absurdity and stubbornly continued to live, even after death. There, under the snow, judging by the trembling that the wizard felt, the corpse was still moving. The mighty spinal cord of the eternal lizard forced the muscles to contract, and if the parzu were free, his blind doomed body could still rush back and forth for several more hours, crushing and knocking everything in its path.- Well done, baby, everything is in order, we are now out of danger.Bone armor fell to gray cloth, and the mimic purred softly. Then Tobius approached the neck of the parzukh, the muscles on which wer
