Chapter 176
The black shadow that had spilled across the ground surged like a wave. In the blink of an eye, it blanketed the area—and its destination was the knight monster.
The entire space thrummed with Cha Sahyeon’s energy.
Even the knight seemed to sense the ominous flow of power and swung its blade in a hurry. The sword aimed not at Eun Woojeong, but at Cover, who stood in its path.
A sharp killing intent prickled like needles against her throat. The monster’s target was obvious.
Gripping her sword tightly, Cover lifted it to block while clutching her wounded side—
Then, a large hand suddenly wrapped around her shoulder from behind and yanked her back with force.
“Urgh...!”
Her body was pulled sharply to the right. As she staggered, someone held her upright. The whirring blade sliced through the air harmlessly in front of them.
When she looked up, a pale face glowing stark white in the darkness came into view. Between tousled strands of hair, a pair of eyes stared not at her, but straight ahead.
Cha Sahyeon held Cover in a firm grip with one arm and casually extended the other.
From the sleeve of his clothing, black shadow rippled like a snake’s tail. As his pale hand stretched forward, the shadows floating in the air obeyed his command and lunged toward the knight.
Skreeeee!
