On time

The woman pushed herself back and started to run but the ghouls ran after her. She wanted to outrun them but the distance between her and them were not getting farther away and instead the monsters that were after her were getting nearer and nearer. A loud growl came from her behind and before she knew it, one of the ghouls was already mid-air and pounced on her.

 

The serpent observed as the woman stopped moving with her eyes in a daze. His illusion has already taken effect and now all he needed to do was to kill the woman's physical body. He was ready to sink his fangs on her body but then he felt something sticking inside his flesh. He looked below him and saw another woman who had her sword thrusted in his body.
