Chapter 11: Unawakened Threat
Bang!
A gunshot arrived right as Musa reached the blind corner where Lucien was, but thankfully, the aim was way off.
It wasn’t even close, even though it was point-blank.
Despite Musa being an Adept, an exalt of the second realm, gunshots were still something people weaker than the Ascendants had to worry about.
Before going through a stage of metamorphosis at the 4th breakthrough, an exalt was still pretty much a human, with a vulnerable body.
But luckily for Musa, Lucien, who just shot the gun, couldn’t even look straight properly, much less use a gun to kill someone.
Musa’s heart nearly stopped as he dropped the vial in sheer shock from the gunshot, but he quickly recovered and caught it desperately.
"You fucking bastard." He wanted to rip Lucien apart for pulling a stunt like this, but he had to hold himself back.
According to the rules set by the monster, he would only engage in a fight with Lucien after he recovered.
Swallowing down his pride, he kicked Lucien’s hand, which somehow still held the chair legs, and pinned him to the ground with his knees.
Lucien struggled, resisting Musa in a frenzy, a desperate attempt, and a last-ditch defense.
