Chapter 148: spiderwebbing
Tila’s hand, now materialized into a massive shadow blade, swung for Rhea’s chest with lethal precision, the air screaming as it cleaved through space.
Rhea’s eyes widened, her momentum carrying her straight into the blade’s path.
At the last split-second, a wall of ice shot up between them, Tila’s blade struck the barrier, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface, while Rhea crashed into the ice, grunting as her shoulder slammed against it.
Freya’s quick reflexes saving Rhea’s life. Both breathed a sigh of relief, close call.
Tila snarled, her grin faltering. "Tch. Pathetic maggots."
Without pause, Tila dissolved back into the shadows, her form slithering like a snake toward Kael’s dome, now perilously close.
The shadows rose, forming a drill once more, its obsidian tip pulsing with dark energy, boring into the ice dome with a grinding screech.
The structure shuddered, cracks racing across its surface like lightning, and with a final, explosive shatter, the dome collapsed, ice shards raining like glass, glinting in the sunlight.
Freya and Rhea screamed, "Kael!" their voices raw with panic, their eyes wide with horror.
Inside the wreckage, Tila materialized into her real form, her face a specter of fury and sadistic glee.
Her black hair fanned out like a dark halo, her sharp features contorted, her eyes glinting with madness.
