Bab 11: Ch51. The approaching storm (3)

It caught me off guard.

Was I really seeing it? Seeing 'him'?

"What? Cat got your tongue?" He looked at me.

But there was something off about him. Off, but at the same time so familiar that it gave me goosebumps.

He still looked taller and stronger than me, but it wasn't just that.

His eyes glowed in a dark tone of red and he gave off an ominous mana vibration.

The glow in his eyes felt more familiar now, for some reason. And I remembered where I'd seen it before.

It was the same color of the crystal I stole from father.

And it made me remember what Evellyn told me, about how Octavius found a use for the fragments of the meteor that originated the Calamity.

"I killed you. How are you here?"

But he wasn't there when I finished the question.

My senses went crazy as I felt him appearing suddenly behind me and striking a punch at the back of my head, but I was able to dodge the hit by a hairsbreadth.
