Chapitre 118: Killing The Infernoscale (1)

Back on Snake Island, after Karsha was sucked into the vortex and it closed, the shadow guards stood there with bewildered expressions. They had no idea what to do or what had just happened. One moment, they were standing guard while the Avatar retrieved the Venom Sac; the next, a vortex appeared and sucked away the one person they were meant to protect.

"Did he just get sucked away?" Kilian asked. The others looked at him with unreadable expressions and chose not to answer. It was clear that Karsha had been sucked into the vortex; there was no mistaking that. However, Kilian, the brute and clearly not the sharpest, had to ask.

"What should we do?" Ayarr asked, gripping her dagger tightly.

"We wait and see if he comes back," Dhaka replied. He was the most composed of them all. As their leader, he knew that if he let panic set in, he wouldn't be able to make sound decisions.
