Chapter 40: The Talented Cat
The battle erupted in an instant.
However, contrary to what the Starfire Cult members had anticipated, they were the first to be attacked.
Almost as soon as Troy's words fell, two members of the Starfire Cult let out piercing screams as their bodies were suddenly severed into several pieces, as if torn apart by a beast's claws.
What was happening?
A sense of shock filled the minds of the Starfire Cult members simultaneously.
Before they could comprehend the situation, another two comrades were sent flying, their bodies twisting into strange, unnatural angles, and the sickening sound of bones snapping echoed from within. They fell to the ground, convulsing once before falling silent.
Finally, Troy reacted, shouting in anger, "Something invisible is nearby! Stay alert!"
However, his warning only caused panic among his subordinates without any further effect.
They had no idea where the invisible enemy was, nor did they know how to defend or retaliate. They could only watch helplessly as one comrade after another was torn apart by attacks that seemed to come from nowhere, their pained cries echoing through the night as they succumbed to death.
In just three or four breaths, more than ten Starfire Cult members had fallen.
The remaining ones wore expressions of terror, their faces pale and limbs trembling.
