Chương 369: Stay back

Gav was right there, standing quietly and seemingly immersed in a extreme concentration. His arms, stretched forward, were entwined with a massive circle of dark energy. It pulsed and swirled, a terrifying yet mesmerizing spectacle that seemed to breathe with a life of its own, imbibing the air with a forbidding and otherworldly majesty.

The dome-like energy, dark and potent, radiated an ominous illumination casting dim highlights upon Gav's features. He appeared untouched, a mysterious tranquility gracing his features. 

Before Elle could reach him, Gav's gaze met hers. His voice, steady yet tinged with an unspoken intensity, cut through the silence. "You promised me you're not going to move, young lady," he chided gently.

Elle's retort was immediate, a mix of relief and anxiety lending her voice a fervent edge. "You said you'd come back."
