章 1367: Golden Gauntlet

Nyx stared at the golden strands around Kar and knew that her Nine Paths had failed to kill him. Her wrath was almost entirely gone. A single trip to the Lake of Serenity would cost her all the wrath she could muster. After she mastered the Paths, Nyx thought she would remain undefeated as long as she had time to gather enough wrath.

Arthur Netherborne suffered from a disease of excessive wrath, like a sailor with a hole in his boat. Nyx was an old lady carrying one bucket at a time from the lake. The sailor had more water than her, but she was safer. She could use the water in her house to ensure she would live on. As for the sailor, he would drown.

Kar stood unharmed after she used her domain. Nyx stared helplessly, her sword covered with all the wrath she had left. As for Kar, he seemed to be getting stronger.
