章節 39: Phase Three (End) The Mastermind

Looking at the sight of Selene frozen in place, Revenant clicked his tongue in frustration. His missing arm ached with phantom pain, and he knew that Selene was in no position to heal him. He gritted his teeth and reached into his cloak, pulling out a dark smoke bomb.

"I can't die here!" With a swift motion, he hurled it to the ground, and an inky black cloud erupted, swallowing the chamber in darkness.

"What is this...? Dark smoke...? Maris! Cover your nose and mouth!" Sophie shouted.

The smoke bomb bought Revenant enough time to make his escape, but it also gave Selene the precious seconds she needed to recover. As the dark cloud settled, Selene pushed herself to her feet, her movements sluggish and pained. She fumbled for a vial at her belt, uncorking it with trembling fingers. The liquid inside shimmered ominously as she brought it to her lips. With a grimace, she drank deeply, her eyes turning pitch black as the potion took effect.
