can kill an incarnation of Evil. So I can kill you, Lord Valadik, even if I cannot destroy what you are.”
There was a pause, and then Valadik threw back his head and laughed harshly.
“And how do you propose to do that?” he sneered. “I am invincible! Nothing can touch me!”
“Again, true with one exception. Nothing can harm you except what happens to your Sins happens to you.” Phantom was almost enjoying himself.
“So?” Lord Valadik scoffed. “You’ve killed all my sins! I’m not dead yet.”
Phantom sighed.
“I hate it when villains are dull,” he muttered. He gestured to the shadows. “Pike, will you bring our pretty little Sin in, please?”
Pike emerged from the shadows, dragging Lust by her hair, who was kicking and screaming and shouting foul obscenities. Phantom admired her language but was a bit shocked to see she was naked and wondered what Pike had been doing to occupy his time. In one hand, the little man carried a sword much too big for him. Lord Valadik’s eyes widened.
“Pike,” said Phantom. “Lop off her head.”
“Aye, captain,” Pike saluted, and dropped Lust, using both hands to grip the sword handle and lift it up. For only a minute, he seemed to hesitate. “Um,” he said, looking askance at Phantom. “Must I?”
“YES!”
“Oh, fine,” Pike muttered, and struck off Lust’s head.
Valadik screamed, and blood sprayed everywhere as his head, too, fell.
Phantom sighed in relief.
“Glad that’s over,” he said, and cast a suspicious look at Pike. Pike threw up his hands defensively.
“Nothing happened!” he protested.
“Sure,” Phantom wiped sweat from his brow. “Whatever you say.”
“Really!” Pike looked down at Lust as if regretting his actions but realizing all the same that they were nessecary, and then looked back at Phantom. “So, where to now?”
“For you, home. For me, Sèntrài.” Phantom replied.
“Fine by me,” Pike said, shouldering his heavy leather bag. “I’ve got a king’s ransom in jewels here that is just begging me to be spent. Once we get back to the World of Form, we’ll stop in the nearest town for a pint, my treat.”
