Chapter 194
The centipede moved quickly—perhaps the influence of the Dragon Vein chakra had driven him a little insane. All the buildings along the way were absorbed into his body. He now resembled a walking fortress, twisted and grotesque, like some stitched-together monster.
Sara stood behind Uzumaki Zixu, at the very formation he'd seen when he arrived. She was quietly chanting, hands moving nonstop, as if sensing something deep and powerful.
"The light rising from the heights of Roran—boiling."
"Mixed emotions."
"The Dragon Vein must be protected."
"Look up at the sky as the white blade enters."
"The sandstorms and winds are coming."

> "The dazzling sun."
"The flowers flutter and scatter."
