Bab 593: Chased

PA!

A loud snapping sound came from behind me and almost threw me off course.

The Rank 4 Transcendent's whip tried to catch my foot before I could get away. With his expression that would be hard to read, I focused more on the movement of his Source Energy.

Looking back, I could see his Weaponforce taking the form of a navy-blue snake with slithering tongue and fangs that threatened to gnaw at me.

"Running away?! Like hell, I would let you! Fight me! Show me what you've just done!" His voice was once again delivered clearly. My ears hurt as though it was drilling a hole in my eardrums.

I quickly circulated my Source Energy there and cast my elemental healing spells to repair the damage. But they're not enough. They're only able to mitigate the pain.

This guy. He truly misunderstood my quick disposal of his subordinates. He believed I could stand against his strength and give him a good fight.
