Chapter 974: In a Real Bind
<You didn’t address my second point!> Vex snarled through clenched teeth as another brutal strike from Sareth nearly saw her lose both of her knees.
Quinlan didn’t reply.
Because he knew perfectly well that she was right.
He hadn’t addressed her second point on purpose because there was nothing to address. She wasn’t lying, wasn’t exaggerating, wasn’t being modest or insecure.
She simply wasn’t built for long-range.
Her power, her talent, her combat instincts... they shone brightest when her blade was carving into flesh up close. Like Iris. Both ladies were more than swordswomen, but needed one to be at their best.
Kitsara, having overheard their conversation and wanting to be more useful than a damsel in distress, moved.
But the moment the foxkin sprinted, darting for the edge of the suppression field, the halberd shifted.
Sareth’s foot slammed down.
Green, spectral chains snapped out of the floor like striking vipers. The moment Kitsara bolted for the edge of the zone, they coiled up like a trap long set—because that’s exactly what they were.
A spell woven directly into Sareth’s Absolute Prohibition.
"[Chain Lock: Fleeing is Forbidden]!"
