Chapter 162: The Well
The one Unorthodox member that had ran away and been struck by the Super Spark Strike Thrown was an unmoving corpse. Strangely, it was not because of Kazi’s attack but something else. Kazi approached the body and turned the face over. His eyes were black and empty like a void. Black cracks spread throughout his body and like dust...
"Huh?"
...the Unorthodox martial artist withered away. Kazi stepped away, disturbed. Nothing remained of him, including the blood stains that should have coated the ground and the grass. He glanced at the source of everything, the well. Upon his looking at it, his heart pounded against his ribcage.
"What...? Ngh!" Kazi winced and dropped to one knee. His heart—
B-b-badump!
Following his struggling heart was his brain. He wasn’t able to think. Nothing. Nothing.
B...b-badump!
The time between a heartbeat widened. His breathing became heavy. ’Why am I here?’ He winced again, a hand on his temple. ’Why did I come all this way? Why did I kill those people—nnngh!’
His eyes turned dusty and the green of the grass became white, till he caught sight of light at the corner. A necklace? Without thinking, he grabbed it and the world’s colour returned.
[ Item forcibly equipped! ]
He gained a sudden surge of magical energy. He panted, one hand clutching his heart and the other his head.
