Chapter 74: The Partner of Revenge!
The silence in the ravaged clearing was heavy, broken only by Ayra’s ragged breathing and Lia’s soft, concerned murmurs as she tended to the berserker’s superficial wounds with her A-Grade Staff.
The S-Grade Dark Cloud Leopard lay still far in the distance, a testament to Daniel’s devastating, and frankly terrifying, unseen attack.
Ayra, still trying to process how a monster that had nearly killed her had simply vanished in an explosion of force, finally looked at Daniel with wide, disbelieving eyes.
The crimson fury of her [Primal Fury Berserker] state had completely drained away, replaced by a mixture of awe and a healthy dose of something that looked suspiciously like fear.
"Vance," she managed, her voice hoarse.
"That... that [Voidwalk] thing you mentioned. It’s not just ’hard to see,’ is it? It’s like... like you’re not even there. Absolute invisibility?"
She’d heard legends of such high-tier stealth abilities, mostly whispered by instructors trying to scare recruits into checking their corners.
She never thought she’d see it in action, let alone from the guy she’d been sharing cramped cave space with.
Daniel offered a slight, almost sheepish grin.
"A-Grade [Voidwalk] does have its perks for surprising introductions," he admitted.
"Makes sneaking up on giant, angry shadow-cats a bit more manageable."
