Chapter 49: Salvation Door to Death
The misfortune of one proved to be a disaster for many. There was no better way to describe what happened to Zoran’s squad. But every Keeper had to be prepared for a crisis. Those who could not withstand even a few minutes of chaos were already dead.
Kain and Lurra ran among the dark columns, sharp rocks were in their way, but they couldn’t stop.
"Shit, this is bad." Lurra turned around to see two phantoms coming after them.
The columns shuddered as the Stray Specter came out, about to reach the other side.
The phantom swept through the Stray Specter, tearing it apart. They weren’t as strong as Zoran, but Lurra certainly wasn’t capable of killing them.
Kain narrowed his eyes. "We need a plan. I have two artifacts. They look strong and fast, but they’re hardly as durable. If we deal with at least one, it’ll be easier to escape, right?"
"Yeah..." Lurra nodded with an astonished look at him. "You know how to think coldly during a battle. That’s commendable, Kain."
Well, it was partly a credit to his Trait.
BAM!
A flaming explosion behind them forced them to glance back. Zoran was fighting against the Baarko, blocking the massive creature’s black lightning bolts and tearing its flesh apart. It was far away, but Kain couldn’t see anything. Zoran was moving too fast.
Fast, but the plan was set.
