Chapter 143: Unexpected Encounter

He suddenly felt a presence behind him and called out, "Shizen!" turning to slash as he turned. But to his surprise, it took nothing but a finger to stop his katana.

He couldn't believe it. "Fre-Freya?" he took a step back, his mind racing with questions. "What are you doing here? How are you here?"

He was confused. Wasn't she supposed to be chained in some temple in the red realm? Did he take too much time to free her, that she got out herself? But how was that possible?
