Capítulo 500: Many Steps (Ch.501)

Neveah had not really planned on making a mess of things, she was not certain what she had planned for exactly,

But it quickly became apparent to her just how wrong her choice was when she tumbled head first into King Jian, crashing into his chest.

Neveah winced on impact, fully expecting to topple him over but King Jian was not the slightest bit shook, 

His arm wrapped around Neveah's waist on instinct and he spun them both out of the way, just in time for the sharp sting of the shadow beast to pierce into the ground right where they had just been.

The force of the attack tore into the earth and spread waves of shadows that sent trees crashing down, with dirt and debris flying everywhere.

Neveah's back was pressed up against a tree, and King Jian's broad structure completely shielded her from all the pandemonium behind.
