Chapter 610: Infinite pursuit
Alith turned the lamp off right as Pareth jumped inside of the manor’s ruins. Sofia and Alith fell to the lower floor, as the upper one in the dark world had long crumbled. They were surrounded by the manor’s tethered, but that was the least of their worries.
The luminous creature in the distance was looking larger by the moment, Sofia caught a second glimpse of it as she landed, it was hard to tell from that far, but the thing seemed to have many long legs like a spider. Hurriedly, she grabbed the admin’s dagger and after checking that Pareth’s mana heart was in place, she sliced his main skull off, grabbing it along with his jacket.
“Let’s go!” she said, sheathing the dagger back and that now free hand grabbing Alith’s arm.
Her skeletal wings spread out, and she flew off away from the creature, activating the second tier of [Runeforged Overlord] for some extra speed.
She flew low to the ground, still uneasy about venturing into the complete darkness overhead, and she slowly turned, hoping that the creature would maybe just keep going forward like the strange horse thing from before.
Carried along by Sofia, Alith looked behind.
“It’s after us!” she warned, confirming Sofia’s fears, “Too fast! It’s catching up!”
Shit.
“How long?!” Sofia asked, unable to look back as she struggled to even see where she was going, as the darkness prevented her from seeing far ahead.
