Bab 849: Anger

As he appeared far in the distance, Blackgate's mind raced, processing every second at superhuman speed.

'I need time. Just a moment…'

But there was none.

BOOM!

Atticus appeared before him in a streak of purple light, his katana slashing down with terrifying speed.

Blackgate's eyes widened in shock as he barely managed to open another gate to escape. The void swallowed him again, and he reappeared farther away.

But Atticus was relentless.

Before Blackgate could catch his breath, Atticus was there again, his blade arcing toward him.

"Damn it!" Blackgate snarled, forcing another gate open to flee.

What followed was almost comical.

A chase erupted in the skies of Sector 8.

Blackgate disappeared and reappeared in a desperate attempt to escape. Gates opened and closed in rapid succession, swallowing him up before Atticus could land a killing blow.

But Atticus didn't relent.
