Chapter 23: Irelia’s Will
Immediately after, she slowly advanced toward Hurriclaw.
At this moment, Hurriclaw stood up, staring at the hollow in the tree, its eyes brimming with greed.
It stretched out its hand, five razor-sharp claws reaching for the object inside the hollow, when suddenly, a flash of light shot straight toward its head.
BAM!
The beam collided with the scales covering its body and instantly dissipated—without leaving so much as a scratch.
However, it had the effect of infuriating Hurriclaw.
Slowly, it turned its head to look behind.
Irelia stood tall, one hand behind her back, the other gripping her willow sword, held upright—her gaze full of determination and fighting spirit, fixed on Hurriclaw.
Though there was still a trace of fear and anxiety in her eyes, at this point, she could no longer turn back.
GRAOO!!!
Hurriclaw opened its mouth and roared, the sound reverberating through the entire forest.
