“MASTER!”
A shout echoed in his ear seconds before black vines entangled him within their web, ensnaring him like a spider ensnared its prey. Wu Jian was about to struggle when he realized that what had wrapped around him were Youmei’s shadows. He stopped struggling as the shadows gently set him on the ground.
“Thanks… Youmei…”
“Are you okay?!”
“I… I’m fine…”
He was most assuredly not fine. His transformation had worn off and his muscles were screaming at him. Exhaustion seeped into his every movement and darkness crowded around the corner of his eyes. He would collapse soon if something wasn’t done.
