Chapter 222: The Hunt Begins – Holt Edition
As I sprinted through the dense forest, my perception pushed out like a ripple through water, brushing across every tree, stone, and flicker of movement in the area. I moved silently, each footstep placed with precision. Then, faint signatures flared on the edge of my range.
Three people.
I slowed, ducking behind a thick tree, and focused. The one in front had a confident gait, heavier steps, and stronger Essence flow—clearly the leader. I scanned them carefully.
[Garven Holt – Level: 109]
[Andrew Cook – Level: 87]
[Jung Ho – Level: 89]
A Holt was leading them. That was all I needed to know.
I rushed closer and extended my hand forward. Frost swirled around my fingers, fed by my Essence and shaped by will. With a single thought, I unleashed it.
A wave of freezing air burst from my palm and swept through the clearing like a winter storm. Trees groaned as frost crept along their trunks. The three men barely had time to react before ice engulfed them—locking their feet to the ground, coating their limbs, and sealing their bodies in jagged frost, leaving their heads exposed.
They didn’t even scream. Just shock. Still, but alive.
I stepped into view, my eyes locked on the Holt.
