Without were a knot of the Slayers, standing back a small space because of the heat of the flames.

The Slayers saw them, and crying, "This is Bulalio, kill the wizard!" sprang towards them with uplifted spears.

They were through with only one man slain, but the cry went up that the chief of the wizards and the Lily, his wife, had fled.
