Chapter 16:Questing [1]
Making no sound, I silently moved my weightless katana through the bush so that its tip was now facing the sky.
In unison, my clones did the same exact thing, replicating my every movement.
After mentally ordering my clones to wait, I tensed my legs and hopped up into the air like a kangaroo.
My blood-red katana was positioned directly below one of the four dark pixies, so as I burst into the air, my sword pierced right through the dark pixie.
And, even after that, the blood-red blade of my katana did not lose its momentum as it sliced right through the pixie and continued surging upward at the tree.
As my katana passed through the pixie, cutting it in half, its limp body rapidly descended toward the ground.
When the body collided with the ground, it seemed to shatter into millions of fragments, which sparkled for a moment before disappearing from sight.
And eventually, all that was left was a very small dark-purple orb the size of an earring.
At that moment, as the other dark pixies around realized their comrade's death, my clones suddenly jumped into the air, blocking the pixies' escape route.
The dark pixies' gazes immediately flicked up toward the sky as they seemed to decide to fly up to escape; however, it was too late.
That small moment of hesitation from the pixies was all that I needed.
