Chapter 80: Chapter 81: The Second Battle of Harrizel Part 4

I'm thrown, Reid's touch disappearing completely. I hit the ground with a heavy smack, rolling through the fauna which slaps my face with its overgrown foliage. I crash into something hard and it slams me in the back, all air gushing at the impact. For a split second, I think I'm dead. Then just paralyzed. A quick wiggle to my toes secures my relief.

How did I survive that?

Barely able to pull myself to my feet, I see him charging on all fours. He's hunting me - a predator closing in on its prey. My heart races, thumping rapidly and threatening to explode from the promise of painful death. Still throbbing all over, I take aim at the impending Vermix with the Traxpire, ready for the end.
