Chapter 22: Fluttering Through The Jungle (Rewritten)
Seele’s eyes flickered from one spot to another, watching as the shadowy silhouettes of horrific abominations moved from one point to another. They Nightmare Creatures stayed hidden, not once revealing their terrifying forms of teeth and claws.
Seele tightened her grip on her scythe. She had been in fights before: in the Underworld, battles against the Fragmentum monsters was quite common. Not only that, but she sometimes had to deal with troublemakers that only caused more issues.
However, the enemies she had fought before were predictable. After fighting against the Fragmentum a couple times, learning their patterns wasn’t too difficult. It got to the point where even normal humans could fight against them. They all took on similar forms, never taking Seele by surprise.
Unfortunately, Seele had no idea what was inside the jungle before them. Despite her experience, she was only used to fighting a certain type of enemy — to the point of mastery, actually. The only thing that would be carried over now is her understanding of combat as a whole.
Sifting her eyes across the wall of trees and vines, Seele gave her scythe a little twirl. Although she had never used it in a fight before, one of her Attributes made her much more dexterous with her hands. As such, she was able to wield it with a certain amount of proficiency.
"On the count of three, run to the left side of the jungle."
Sunny spoke in a low tone, evidently cautious of the unknown monsters residing in the jungle, preparing to jump them at a moment’s notice. For some reason, this island was especially hot, causing a thin sheen of sweat to cover Seele’s forehead.
Or maybe she was just nervous.
"3."
Seele bit her lip, snapping herself out of her trance. If she made even a single wrong move, she would die.
All for some flowers!
