Chapter 170:
Screeeee!
The massive bird let out a high-pitched cry and charged at Eun Woojeong without hesitation.
Startled, he stared at the sudden appearance of the bird—then quickly wiped his expression and activated a skill. Chains identical to the ones binding me appeared, floating midair.
“Ghh...!”
The hooked chains shot forward repeatedly, but they had little effect against the shadowy bird.
Instead, black feathers shot from the bird’s wings like arrowheads, slashing across Eun Woojeong’s body.
While the shadow held him off, I pushed myself up from where I’d been leaning against the wall. My upper body was bound, but my legs were free, so it wasn’t too hard to stand.
“Ow...”
Standing wasn’t the problem—but I must’ve been roughed up pretty hard while unconscious, because every part of me ached. Groaning like an old man, I stood and walked toward where Eun Woojeong was.
Clang!
Just then, one of the flying chains scraped across the floor right in front of me. I looked down at the deep gouge in the hard floor, then raised my gaze.
