Bab 569: Void Tendrils

As the water below burst forth, it unleashed a massive shockwave that sent all of them reeling in the air.

For Lieutenant Dante, however, everything in that moment seemed to pass slowly. As he reeled—seeming helpless—upwards, his hands moved to his sword and his body twisted in the air, legs folded in as if they were about to run an air race.

His eyes narrowed to a slit as they locked in on the monster.

Then with a small movement, he pulled his sword; however, no one saw him pull the sword out completely. No one except Northern.

The Lieutenant turned into a blur, vicious red lights trailing his afterimages as he shot to his target in the belly of the red mist that the water was causing to be a little sparse.

Barely a second later after that wicked light shot off, a terrible shockwave hit the entire landscape, sending all of them reeling backward along with a powerful upheaval of the ground that exploded outwardly in all directions.
