Delilah was sweating profusely, and even the habit she had developed during her years as an assassin failed to keep her breath stable. The red ape's sudden appearance made her run faster than she ever had.
'Wasn't he supposed to keep it busy? Why is it here? And where is he?'
Regrets poured in after the complaints.
'Why did I have to let curiosity get the better of me? Am I a cat? I could have slept after wandering around in Ashen Mountain, but I just had to tag along with him and enter the wilderness. Now my poor life might end here.'
She regretted her choice, but it was a tad bit too late.
"Where did she suddenly gain the strength to run so fast?"
The red ape frowned as the distance between them closed slower than before.
It attacked her with a fiery gust of aura, but she sensed it in time and jumped aside.
The fiery gust struck a tree, causing it to burst apart and be set on fire.
