บท 292: Temple [3]

My lungs were on fire.

I could hardly see. The entire time, I ran ahead without looking back.

….Several hands reached out for me, trying to grab me from all directions.

I ducked, jumped, and twisted my body in all directions in order to avoid the hands. But it was hard.

"Haa… Haa…"

I could hardly think properly.

…The poison had now reached almost every part of my body. Every movement was laced with a numbing sensation that made it seem as though I was lying on a bed of needles.

It was uncomfortable.

"Ukeh…!"

I ducked down again, tracing my hand down and severing the ankles of a nearby Wraith.

Thump!

Its body fell limp, and with a wave of my hand, our images swapped. I became the Wraith, and the Wraith became me.

Bang, bang—!

A notification flashed past my vision.

I ignored it and looked ahead.

The distance between me and the entrance of the temple wasn't far.
