Chapter 140: Distracted

Valeria chased the MQ-9 Reaper, her dark energy propelling her faster through the air. At first, the drone was outpacing her with ease. The MQ-9 Reaper was designed for high-altitude surveillance and strike missions, with a cruising speed of around 230 miles per hour, making it difficult for her to keep up.

Valeria gritted her teeth, focusing her power. Little by little, she began to gain speed, closing the gap between her and the drone. The Reaper, realizing it was being pursued, switched to evasive maneuvers. The pilot banked sharply, releasing flares into the sky. Bright flashes filled the air, creating heat signatures designed to throw off missiles. Valeria dodged them easily, her focus locked on the Reaper.
