Chapter 37: Side Story: Memories of a Past (Rewritten) Era
"What’s wrong, Death? Don’t you think that it’s ridiculous to keep playing human, traitor?"
Following the Herrscher’s words, Lightning crackled through the hall, spreading across the walls, floor, and ceiling. Thunder boomed, threatening to blow Sunny’s eardrums.
’Damnation...’
He was in no means fast enough to dodge lightning. Despite that, the golden snake of devestating light did not hit him.
After all, it was an attack that he provoked the Herrscher to use.
Using his instincts, Sunny had jumped through the window the moment the air began to feel fuzzy. As shards of glass began to rain down from the sky, he grit his teeth while he looked down at the distant ground.
He had leaped from the fifth story of a building, which would inevitably kill him before the psychotic calamity that pursued him.
As he fell through the air, his mind calculated the precise distance between him and the ground. While doing so, space distorted as portals began to open up. The first was directly below Sunny, while the other was above the ground that threatened to turn him into a red stain.
As he went through the portal placed below his descending body, the momentum carried him as he leaped out of the other portal, airborne for a few moments before gravity caused him to crash back down. Stumbling on his own two feet for a moment, his eyes widened as he saw the figure before him.
A blonde woman with amber eyes faced him, a bloodthirsty sneer on her face. Clad in samurai-esque armor — which was way to revealing — she held a bow made of pure lightning in one hand, with an arrow in the other. She twirled the arrow around her fingers with ease, as if she was holding a physical object and not a construct of energy.
’This... is so unscientific.’
