Guilt

May exited the safety of the space stone in the broad expanse of the purgatory. Knowing the stakes she tried her best to be as covert as possible. Just two more early-stage martial Kings and she would be a half-step Marital king (Elemental). With the time needed to absorb both qis, it would take a maximum of ten minutes, and then she would once more enter the space stone.

But that was the easy part. Without Taf's will (perception) to scan the surrounding areas it would take some time before finding two suitable candidates; While evading the sphere of Zuccaro, who she was certain hunted for any traces of the two. Still, she firmed her resolve by picking a random direction. Thankfully it seemed luck was on her side as it only took thirty minutes before she saw her next prey, A behemoth with thousands of black tentacles. It was quite the menacing creature, but its looks were of no concern, it was its qi that May noticed. Yes! An Early-stage Martial King.
