[Bonus chapter] The staff that corrupts and a sacrifice.

As the giant dung slinger started barking kill orders at his spirits that was when I decided to start the show. I took off into a dead sprint towards the Shaman as I had Hannah go and help Mcillian. 

I had her summon her own summons and fight them off while I appeared in front of the Shaman and surprised him.

With a look of shock on his face he stumbled for a second and I could have swore I heard a faint gravely voice.

"Kil~~~lll the~~~m a~~~lll." was what I heard but I couldn't see anybody here besides us.

'Evil staff remember, I bet you that this thing is corrupting this Apeman completely.'

Gotcha, I forgot all about that when I was sidetracked with the drama of the spiritual reunion. I tightened my fist and sent a quick punch towards the staff but a foot away from making contact a sudden purplish hexagonal shaped shield appeared to intercept my attack and bounced me away.
