Kapitel 242: Blitz

>VWOOOOSSSHHH!!!<

My body tingled with excitement as I practically vanished in the darkness thanks to my speed.

At my current pace, I would reach Anabelle before she and probably anyone else she had with her died.

With a wild smile on my face—pleased internally that I would make it in time—I rushed to the rescue of a comrade.

Anabelle's body grew weak as she sensed the converging figures of darkness. Her consciousness nearly gave out in fear, but her willpower kept her at the very brink.

They had spotted maybe two or three Shadows move together, never exceeding six in the same group, earlier. But now, it seemed like they were at least a hundred. This concerned Ana… no, it frightened her.

Those numbers were well beyond her means. She was barely struggling to move as she was. She was fighting bravely for her life and those she led, but…

Everyone had a breaking point and hers was arriving, surely. Or rather, it probably had.
