Capítulo 216: World of the Dead (8)

"LOOK OUT!" 

The girl's scream snapped him out of his reverie and on an instinct, Minho leapt forward. The scythe missed him by mere centimeters and he fell on the ground. 

The reaper towered over him, raising its scythe again but the girl jumped in between and slashed the peach blossom stem at it. The reaper let out a shrill cry of agony and retreated outside. 

"We've got to get out of this room!" the girl exclaimed. "It's gonna return any moment and it might bring reinforcements!" 

Minho did not need to be told twice. He scrambled to get up and together, they ran out of the kitchen. Behind them, they could hear the clanking of several chains. Several skeletal reapers were on their tail, toppling over one another to reach the human within their grasp.
