Chu Miao raised one hand, and the space around the creature's arm tightened. Its claws stopped less than a meter from her face.
The zombie pulled harder.
Cracks spread through the spatial restraint.
Chu Miao looked at the enormous hand and warned, "If you tear my formation, I will remove your arm."
The zombie responded with another roar.
"That was not an agreement."
She folded the space around its wrist.
The clawed hand disappeared from the passage and reappeared above the creature's shoulder before crashing into its own face.
The impact forced the zombie backward.
Sparrow's furious voice came through the speakers. "What did you do?"
"I helped your guardian slap itself."
A loud crash sounded inside the building.
The speakers went silent again.
Chu Miao placed the fifth spirit stone and connected it to the others with her light element. Pale lines spread over the dark formation, changing its direction one section at a time.
