Bab 188: [Island Of Drath] [3]

We stared into each other's eyes.

Her white eyes blazed while my purple eyes calmly gazed back.

Tightening my grip on the katana, I bent slightly, ready for the confrontation.

But to my surprise, she didn't attack and quietly walked away.

Lifting my head, I observed the trees around me.

Two Drath were rushing toward me from within the dense jungle, their elongated claws gripping tightly onto the bark of the trees, propelling them forward.

My gaze followed them, trying to determine their path.

I quickly found it—a large boulder just a few meters away.

'Willis.'

Dada!

My legs petrified, crumbled, getting replaced by the legs of an angel.
