Chapter 53: Tendrils
Chapter 52
He vanished, blinked across the field with a single burst of wind, then appeared behind the farthest one and snapped its neck before it could even turn. The second turned and lunged blindly. Kaizen sidestepped, grabbed its head and slammed it down so hard, its skull split on a rock.
The final one stood frozen. Kaizen walked toward it slowly.
It growled, a low desperate sound, then turned and ran.
Kaizen didn’t chase. He just raised a hand.
A spear of fire shot forward, precise and silent, punching through the back of its skull.
The beast fell instantly.
Right at that moment, out of nowhere, a series of attacks came flying at him with amazing speed. Kaizen was quick to put up a wall of ice that quickly blocked them before they could reach him. Once they stopped, he put down the wall, and there she was, a young girl just sitting on a rock like she’d been waiting for him. White hair tied back in a loose ponytail, green streak running through it, and eyes that said she wasn’t here to play. One of them glowed red. The other barely blinked.
She had a glowing green eye,literally an eye, floating above her finger, spinning slow like it was watching him. Whatever it was, it gave off a weird pressure he didn’t like.
Her outfit was simple, black crop top, fitted pants, green boots and gloves. Behind her, these strange shadowy tendrils drifted through the air, calm but ready.
"You’ve been causing a lot of disturbance, intruder."
Her voice was calm. Almost amused.
