Kapitel 60: Chapter 59: Battle in the forest (III)

'Gotcha!'

I exclaimed, my muscles unconsciously tensing themselves, ready for a chase.

But then, I stopped, completely by instinct.

No, rather than stopped, it was like I froze.

Froze, rooted in place.

Alarm bells ringing in my head, as only a single word overtook my brain – DANGER!!

My body started moving on its own, throwing itself to the side, dodging, getting away, from whatever it was that was approaching.

It was then, that it appeared. A small, stealthy, undetectable, flash.

A simple, unassuming, black flash, that completely evaded my Mana Reading.

Only visible to my naked eyes, and even then, I couldn't make up what it really was.

It was too fast for me to do so.

It appeared, it passed by me, and then it disappeared.

Did it miss? Did it hit? Or did it graze past me?

I didn't know.

And I didn't need to ponder, for long.

-ARRRRHHHHHHHHH!!!
