But… Why? Why would she care?
Behind them, the Shadow Leech screeched again, reminding them of its presence.
Elysia exhaled sharply and turned to face the monster and her sword at the steady. "We'll talk later."
She didn't answer immediately. Her gaze turned toward the Shadow Leech again. "Shut up and stay down. You're no good to anyone."
(wha…. What is wrong with her?)
The creature let out a hiss and lunged.
A powerful shockwave tore through the glade as the Shadow Leech lunged forward with blinding speed—its razor-like tendrils sweeping toward Kael and Elysia.
The Battle Begins
It struck without warning, a blur of black limbs flashing toward her. Elysia raised her swords, catching the first blow, but the force behind it sent her sliding back. She slashed forward, unleashing a burst of elemental energy—light infused with wind with her swords.
The beam sliced through the air…
Kael could only watch in amaze.
But it passed through the creature's body as if it was smoke.
