Chapter 283: The Kingdom of Twilight vs The Plane of Twilight (17)

The skinny man clicked his tongue in disappointment after seeing me not fall victim to what I assumed to be a potent poison due to its vile and sickening smell that coated the inside of my nostrils and penetrated deep into my sinuses. 

Suddenly, three glints could be seen, quickly approaching my eyes, so I ducked but was met with four more needles that were shoved straight into my face. 

They all missed my eyes, but I soon realized that it was unintentional as my left arm went limp. 

My immediate reaction was to create more space between us, but when I went to take a few steps back, my legs gave in, causing me to fall to the ground. 

The man didn't give me any time to recover as he charged in. Hence, I summoned a few crawler legs from below me, creating a shield around me that served as a few seconds of protection as it quickly crumbled due to a sledgehammer being brought down onto it.
