章 234: Chaos [3]

I felt my entire body paralyze on the spot.

Staring ahead, my throat clamped up as I silently swallowed, a cold sweat drenched my back as I did so. 

Cra... Crack! 

The air was filled with the sickening sound of cracking bones as the neck twisted grotesquely in my direction. 

Drip! 

Black droplets stained the ground as I stood with my breath held. 

"....What are you doing?" 

It was the sound of Owl-Mighty's voice that shattered my thoughts. 

"Fight it." 

"Uh...?" 

I almost looked back in shock. 

Fight it...? 

'Can I even fight it?' 

I could tell at a glance that whatever thing was before me was strong. I had hardly gotten any practice with my skills and had no experience fighting. 

How could I fight it? 

"....!" 

Sadly, I never had the chance to retort as the creature lunged at me.

Swoosh! 

It didn't make any sound as it did, but it was extremely fast.
