"Shit!"
Grey hissed through clenched teeth, panic surging through him as Malric turned his soulless gaze toward him and lunged.
Without hesitation, Grey activated [Quickstep, his body immediately surging forward in a blur of speed.
The world around him blurred as he darted through the wreckage, his only thought being to put as much distance between himself and the creature as possible.
But Malric was faster.
With a metallic whip, a glowing green chain shot out from Malric's skeletal hand and Grey felt a sharp jerk on his leg.
His eyes widened in shock and he turned to see a chain coiled tightly around his ankle, its eerie energy searing through him like fire.
"*No, no, no!"
Grey's voice cracked as he felt himself yanked backward with brutal force, and before he could even brace himself, Malric swung him through the air like a ragdoll.
Grey's body slammed into the side of a building with a sickening crash.
