Chapter 29: Clash of Fire and Blood
The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of Verdant Deathwood. A humid breeze stirred the leaves as Kaal moved silently through the underbrush, his right arm still wrapped in bandages from yesterday’s clash. Suddenly, his steps halted, and he sensed a presence.
Across the clearing, Divya stood still, both of them staring at each other, on one side was
Kaal Kilvis had black eyes that were unreadable, a right arm bandaged, and an axe resting on his shoulder.
On the other side was
Divya, the blue-haired girl with emerald eyes, her aura pulsing with fierce intent, flames flickering at her fingertips.
The moment their eyes locked, Kaal’s Hell Asura Bloodline surged to the surface, growling for dominance, craving the essence blood flowing within Divya’s veins. A dark hunger awakened in him. The bloodline wanted to devour her.
Divya felt it too.
The moment she saw Kaal, an instinctive alarm screamed inside her. Her Qi flared up unconsciously, and her body slid into a combat stance. This wasn’t a normal opponent. He was a dangerous feral.
"I don’t want to fight," Divya said cautiously, eyes narrowing. "But if you force me... I won’t hold back."
Kaal tilted his head slightly, his voice low but filled with domineering calm.
"Then don’t hold back. But remember... the moment you hesitate, you die."
