Chapter 29 - Palpable Fear

"D-Don't you think that maybe you exerted far too much effort in killing someone who was basically sedentary?" Mona asked him as she tried to keep herself from freaking out and losing her cool over what she had just seen unfold right before her very eyes at this point. It was something that she did in order to stop the panic from setting in on her. Sure, she had seen death and she had seen quite a lot of it in fact ever since she shed her old Amaranth name, but this was just far too much, like she was seeing a person being killed not by an assassin, not by meeting death and demise at the hands of a skilled assassin, no, but by the hands and ever harmful claws of a monster laying dormant underneath this pleasant young man. "I can see that you are afraid. Are you afraid of me, Mona?" Lee asked as he inched closer and closer towards her, eager to hear her response and how she would reply to him at this point.
