Chapter 157: Bloodflame Blade's First Hunt

In one swift motion, Alice unsheathed the katana and held it by her side. As the blade met the cold night air, it seemed to hum out in excitement as the flames flickered in the wind. The ethereal tune echoed in the silent forest as the beast could feel a sense of despair creeping up its back.

It kept an aggressive stance with its eyes not daring to stray away from Alice.

Silence ensued between the two as neither made a move.

Alice could feel her mind sharpening as her senses fully focused on the beast. The thrill of the hunt pumped through her veins as she activated her Sigils.

The gentle moonlight shone down from above, seeping through the gaps of the leaves as Alice spread out her arms and closed her eyes, basking in this feeling.
