You shudder as the Sommerswerd drinks raw power from the leader’s golden rod. His fury turns to fear as you whirl it around your head and hurl the bolt of energy back at his face. There is a tremendous roar as the man disintegrates, consumed in a ball of white flame. However, as you move forwards, you see that each hooded man has a golden rod. They raise them in unison, pooling their collective power to try to destroy your sword.

If you wish to continue your attack, turn to 257.

If you wish to turn and flee, turn to 182.
