Chapter 143: Demon Encirclement!
His eyes widened in shock, and all he could see was a massive claw racing toward his face with terrifying speed. Kranos was stunned and tried to dodge the claw, but his movements were too slow. After all, he couldn’t freely move his mana within his body.
Just as he was about to activate the Pause Time ability, he felt a slight, gentle push, and in the next instant, he was tossed to the side just enough for the claw to narrowly miss him.
A moment later, he saw Kathryn stretch out her palm. Muttering a few words, she hurled a ball of flame toward the grotesque creature that had attacked Kranos. He realized it was a creature covered in scales that resembled a snake.
A demon?
Kranos was slightly stunned.
Kathryn’s ball of fire moved rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it struck the demon squarely on its head. The demon was sent flying into a tree in the distance. The moment it collided with the tree, the flame engulfed its body, beginning from its head.
The demon was shocked but couldn’t resist the divine flames. It could only writhe in pain and agony, roaring continuously.
"Demon, do you know any human establishments nearby?" Kathryn’s figure blurred, leaving Kranos behind, and she appeared in front of the demon as she asked.
She retracted the flames burning the demon but created another ball of fire in her palm. She waved it in front of the demon while speaking, causing it to freeze slightly in fear.
"You..." the demon was startled and wanted to curse. However, upon seeing the flame in her hand, it shrank its neck in fear.
