The forest at the edge of the ruined Toxic Marshes reverberated with violent tremors. The trees swayed wildly even as a good number of their brethren were uprooted by the sheer force that ripped through their midst.
"Argh!"
Sha Chen slammed into a cluster of those trees, his momentum breaking them apart and causing a shower of splinters to rain onto him. His whips curled and writhed uncontrollably as they sought purchase on the crumbling earth, but did little to arrest his slide.
"Ugh…"
A groan escaped his lips as he banged his head against rock-solid earth. Unlike the soft soil of the now-dry swamps of Toxic Marshes, the ground here was much firmer. Hitting his head against it would cause more damage.
Not that I cared.
Even as Sha Chen struggled to regain his balance, I was already hurtling forward, my dragon sword raised as I prepared to cut him down while he was still down. Some might perceive me as being despicable, but I didn't care.
