*Swish*
Zed's fingertip danced through the air, after a sudden slash,
a feline-like, A-tier creature's head rolled off its neck, its lithe body was in the midst of agilely scaling the city wall, continued its upward climb, propelled by an inert force that couldn't quite comprehend its sudden decapitation. The creature's body continued its futile endeavor, jamming itself into the wall's crevices.
This was just another in the long tally of monsters Zed had slain.
His right hand elevated, and a sharp, ethereal dagger materialized, floating above his palm. The dagger's blade whirled chaotically, finally pointing towards a distinct location.
"Getting closer," Zed murmured.
Lucy, his companion clinging to his back like an octopus, chuckled softly.
"Is this our first time in a dream together?"
Zed's response was casual, his tone icy.
"What's the matter? Don't you like it?"
