Chapter 19: Not That Kind of Person (8)
A small stature, light weight, a body flung into the air, and an external force strong enough to shatter buildings.
Even with telekinesis softening the blow, the outcome was inevitable—I was hurled through the air like a ragdoll.
Crash!
My breath was knocked out of me, and my vision blurred for a moment. When I came to, I found myself lying helplessly on the cold, hard ground.
“Ugh... I think I’m really going to die...”
Though I was resting against the floor, it felt as though the world was spinning endlessly. Up and down were indistinguishable, my head swimming in nausea.
I tried to push myself up, but the searing pain radiating through my body robbed me of all strength.
Had I slammed into something hard while flying through the air? It seemed I wouldn’t be able to move until the pain subsided somewhat.
As I lay there, panting and on the verge of losing consciousness, I forced my eyes to stay open. That’s when I heard Drakel’s voice, not too far away.
“Ha... Haha... That really startled me. I didn’t expect you to charge at me like that. You completely caught me off guard. Well played, Ghost.”
The sound of footsteps echoed through the quiet building. Turning my head with great effort, I saw Drakel approaching, looking completely unscathed.
Standing tall, he gazed at me sprawled on the ground and spoke with amusement.
