Chapter 182: The Primordial Void Blade
Even as he chased alongside her for several miles, Zach already knew she wasn’t going to change her mind, but he felt he had to try anyway. “Kalana, stop,” he said to her, leaving behind a wispy, jet-like contrail in his wake as he raced across the barren landscape.
Though hardly the thing that was front and center on his mind right now, Zach would be lying if he said he didn’t secretly feel a bit of guilty pleasure at how easily he was able to keep pace with Kalana. Right now, with 205 points into dexterity and 182 points into speed, Zach was definitely faster, more agile, and swifter on his feet than even the mighty Kalana, who in such a short time, had exploded from a level-1 Elvish refugee into a superpowered princess.
“I can’t,” she said, slowing down somewhat as the dirt began to turn green, indicating a shift to grass and thus the possibility of civilization ahead. “My mom’s gonna kill me if I don’t get back.”

“Not funny!”

Rather than earn him a smile, his words were rewarded with a surprisingly intense glare. “How can you say that to me?” she snapped. “After what you did.”
“It’s different, Kal. I’m…”
“What?”
“Don’t make me say it.”
“No, say it. I want you to.”
