Chapter 271: Arc 4, Act II, - 116: The Poison Feather
A blast of snow went past her vision and the next thing she knew, her dark brown hair was rushing past her vision, the sound of wind roaring around her.
The snow and ice dissipated into mist and mana as the shadow of a cliff loomed over her, "AHHHH!!!!" she shrieked and gasped. The gusts blew tears out of her eyes as she tried her best to cast a spell.
With her eyes opened enough, shadows took over her form and she wooshed up fifty or so metres and her hair flew behind her, the gust stopped... Only for it to be blown forward again and the surge of wind to continue once gravity took hold.
She blinked again, then again, disappearing into shadows before emerging towards the underside of the clifftop. She reached a hand out... Would it reach...!?
"Spider Walk!" shadows trailed down her fingers into her palms and coated it in a dark purplish miasma. "Tck!" Her hand caught onto the smooth yet jagged surface of the clifftop’s underside.
She flung her light body upwards, before latching her hands and feet on, like a bug to a wall. Fumeko panted—a shaking body and bubbled eyes she could not control.
Her head turned to the side, glancing past her dark brown strands that dangled and lightly obscured the view below.
One only wondered what perhaps a few more seconds of falling would’ve done to her... Thoughts of her dad rushed to her head, then Jotou, Hotaru and Asobi. With every breath she put the memories at rest.
Parts of her purple cloak had light rips from Frost’s attack; she could however feel her headband still intact. "Phew..." she huffed and firmly dug her heels into the stone.
She lifted one hand and placed it slightly forward... Glanced around, then did her other hand, followed by each shoe. Once she had the rhythm, she continued quicker up the underside. There was no way she was letting Frost escape after that!
Meanwhile, whilst the fight occurred with Fumeko and Frost, Jotou and Daiyu had their own opponent. "THRASH!" "BASH!" Spindling dark green vines the size of columns jetted up from the ground.
They slammed and clobbered the earth, aiming for the two escaping their sudden emergence. "Stone Surge!" Daiyu stomped towards one.
