Chapter 207: Determined

Above the trees, under the tendrils of ghastly moonlight, was Ned with his tail, oozing of black energy, lashing him from branches after branches.

Ned's body was already weakened with the wound Khiccaal had done. Rassus knew that putting him to further stress would break him, and fighting six of the Hallowguard team would take a lot of Ned's mana and energy.

The forest was blanketed with darkness. But Ned's enhanced vision was possible for Rassus to see at least a ribbon of faint light under a tree.

Ned stopped as his tail lashed the nearest branch of a tree, and stood above like an owl eyeing his prey. Face obscured of black mist and sometimes fading, like a cloud of smoke blown away by a strong breeze.
