467: After the Storm
Seeing Zora appear, the little beast reacted before Emily even could.6It struggled, then hurriedly forced itself upright, letting out a weak, pitiful whimper as it dragged its injured body across the blood-soaked ground toward her. Its movements were clumsy, unbalanced from the missing wing and the deep gash along its back, yet it still pushed forward stubbornly, eyes fixed on Zora as though she were its only anchor.Zora paused.She glanced down at it, lips pressing together slightly, then clicked her tongue in mild annoyance.“Tsk.”Before the beast could reach her legs, she bent down and lifted it effortlessly with one hand, cradling the creature against her side as though it weighed nothing. The beast immediately quieted, pressing its head into her arm, trembling softly.Zora shook her head.“So dramatic,” she muttered.She raised her other hand and began patting the beast slowly, rhythmically, almost absent-mindedly. With each gentle tap, a faint ripple of energy flowed from her
Chapter 466: No Smiles Here Either
On Emily’s side, things were anything but smiling.If anything, the forest looked like it had gone through a small-scale war.Emily knelt on one knee, breathing unevenly, her chest rising and falling as though every breath cost her something precious.Her clothes were torn beyond recognition, strips of fabric hanging loosely from her arms and waist, soaked through with blood. Some of it was hers. Most of it wasn’t. Shallow cuts lined her arms and legs, angry red marks crossing her skin where claws, teeth, and raw force had brushed past far too close.She looked… battered and alive but looking at her, one could say she's barely alive.Not far from her, the beast lay sprawled on the ground. The once-lively creature was now terrifyingly still, its chest no longer rising. One of its wings had been torn clean off, ripped away violently, leaving behind a mangled mess of bone and flesh.A deep slash ran across its back, so deep that white bone peeked through the torn muscle beneath. Blood po
Chapter 465: No Rest for the Living
Five grueling hours later, Kai stood in the middle of the torn savannah, panting like a man who had just crawled back from the edge of death.Blood covered him.Some of it was his and most of it wasn’t.His chest rose and fell heavily as he watched his injuries knit themselves back together. Torn flesh sealed. Cracked skin smoothed. Bruised muscles relaxed inch by inch as his healing factor did its job, leaving behind only a dull ache and exhaustion that ran straight down to his bones.Around him, five massive beast corpses lay sprawled across the ground in unnatural positions, eyes glassy, mouths frozen mid-snarl. The earth was churned into chaos, deep gouges, shattered stone, claw marks everywhere , clear proof of just how ugly the fight had been.Kai exhaled slowly.“So… that happened,” he muttered hoarsely.Then he smelled it.Meat.Cooked. Perfectly cooked. How's that possible in the secret realm or was he imagining things cause he was hungry?His head snapped to the side.Zora
464: Think, or Be Torn Apart
Kai swallowed hard, throat dry as sand.Five beasts surrounding him.They look hungry, impatient and drooling like he was already halfway down their throats.His heart hammered against his ribs, but strangely… panic didn’t completely take over.Because one thing was very clear.Zora was still standing there.Arms folded, expression amused and definitely not lifting a finger.And that told him everything.This isn’t a test, Kai realized grimly. This is just… life.If this was something that could truly kill him, Zora wouldn’t be watching like this was a stage play. She would’ve interfered before things even got close to dangerous. The fact that she hadn’t moved meant one thing and one thing only.He could survive this.Barely, maybe painfully but he could.That realization grounded him.Still, another thought crept in, sharp and annoyed.Why didn’t she move him when he fainted after fighting the beast?Why leave him lying here like a piece of raw meat?He almost laughed bitterly.Of co
463: Wrong Time To Wake Up.
After a long while, Kai’s eyes flashed open.The first thing he saw was wrong.Very wrong.Two pale, low-hanging moons sat in the sky like watchful eyes, far too close, and far too bright. Beneath them, countless stars shimmered coldly, scattered across the heavens in a way that made his head throb just looking at them. For a few seconds, he lay there blinking, trying to convince himself that he was still unconscious, that this was some weird after-effect of pushing himself too hard.Did I die?Is this some afterlife discount version?Just as he was piecing together his thoughts, something warm and wet splashed onto his face.Kai froze.Another drop followed.Then another.His mind supplied several horrifying possibilities in rapid succession and none of them were pleasant.Slowly, very slowly, he lifted a hand and wiped his cheek.Sticky.His heart skipped.Before he could think any further, instinct kicked in. Kai sprang upright in one explosive motion, body screaming in protest onl
462: Ten, or Die
Kai swallowed hard, eyes locked onto the Three-Eyed Iron Buffalo standing before him.For a brief, fleeting moment, a very stupid thought crossed his mind.Maybe… maybe he can talk my way out of this.He almost laughed at himself.Zora doesn't listen.Zora decided.If she had any intention of hearing whatever excuse he could come up with, she wouldn’t have snapped her fingers and unleashed that monster in the first place. The ground beneath his feet was still trembling faintly from the beast’s presence alone, and its breath came out in slow, heavy bursts, each one sounding like a forge bellows preparing to melt steel.Kai exhaled slowly.His body screamed at him to rest. Every muscle felt tight, overstretched, drained to the core. His arms still carried the lingering numbness from the previous fight, and his breathing hadn’t even fully steadied yet. This wasn’t ideal. This wasn’t smart.But Zora didn’t train people to be smart much.She trained them to survive.And survival rarely wai
