Within the blink of an eye, the nightmarish entity was already behind Mia. Now, mid-air, its leg slammed onto her shoulder ruthlessly.
Crack!
I thought I heard the sound of bones cracking.
Mia groaned and then, she was sent crashing into the distance, pain tearing through every fiber of her being.
But as if it wasn't enough.
The nightmarish entity's grin grew wider.
Disappearing from its previous spot.
The ground beneath it shattered into pieces. And then,
He was already right before Mia.
He cleaved down with his crimson sword. In an imbalanced position, Mia could only raise her sword in an attempt to block the strike.
Clang!
The sound of metals colliding reverberated through the endless darkness as both figures blitzed through the labyrinth, the hollow silence occasionally punctured by the steady and sometimes, uneven rythm of their heart and the subtle echoes of their breath.
