Capítulo 232: Black Lightning

Above the jagged peak, a patch of dark mist trembled as the space around it crackled with power. 

And then, a flash of black lightning appeared, tearing a rift through the dark haze, before flickering away to nothing. With it gone, all that was left was a shadowy serpent that did not stand out much on the chasm's edge.

I made it back…I think.

With a few minor adjustments, the appearance of [Blink] had changed quite a bit from before. 

Yet, I refused to open my eyes, or move, except to tuck the tip of my tail under my coil. Remaining perfectly still, I made sure to note my position on the chasm's edge with [Mind's Eye] before sighing in relief. 

Did he notice?

Technically, this wasn't cheating - my coils made up the majority of my body anyway!

«Well done.» Sensei remarked, after keeping me in suspense for several seconds. «A few inches off the mark, but acceptable, nonetheless.»

Finally! I wanted to jump with joy!
