Soul Out Of Body

"Cough, Cough! You sneaky rat!" The Old Patriarch clutched the fist-sized hole in his chest and snarled.

Due to his old age, the injury dealt him a big blow and his combat power plummeted.

Worse, if he delayed treatment, he'd grow weaker and inch toward death. It's just a single attack but it reversed the direction of the battle.

Whether it's Princess Catherine or the Twins of Starsafe, their backs went cold and their hearts throbbed in fear.

The Old Patriarch survived only because he's a rank 3. If it's someone else, even if it's Helga, a peak rank 2, she would be facing death if she faced that ambush.

Fortunately, the target was someone else. Unfortunately, the target was the strongest among the team.

But Helga wasn't in a mood to worry about the implications.

Her gaze was locked onto Varian as if she was frozen in time, her lips bled as she bit them hard and the dozens of pupils in her eyes all grew bloodshot with fuming hatred.
