The Shadow Cat

Rammy and the wounded cultivator stopped the following attack when they saw a dome of darkness swallow their leader.

They watched in horror as dark spikes shot outward from the dome, stopped, and reversed course, shooting back inward. It was a harrowing sight that all but guaranteed a cultivator would die. However—

A massive fire blade shot a hundred feet into the sky, piercing the darkness before crashing to the earth, cutting through the dome and everything else in its path.

BOOOOOOOM!

Evalyn's widened in horror when the blade sliced through the fourth residential mansion, setting it on fire. She immediately ran to the site and waved her hand, creating a blizzard-like blanket of frost that put out the fire.

The shadow dome warped, dancing with the flickering flames. It exposed the blonde, who flew out, bleeding, with murderous eyes.

"Crux!" Mary yelled angrily, "Face me, you cowardly beast!"

"You're so loud." A hypnotic female voice replied not a hundred feet away.
