Chapter 52: Dodge and Shot

Fen, his silver eyes gleaming with an unsettling calmness, raised his hand once again.

The world around me seemed to vanish as the air shifted, twisting, darkening with a violent energy that surged through the two portals behind Fen.

The moment they flared to life, I knew what was coming.

Silver spears, gleaming with deadly intent, multiple spears shot out like lightning streaking toward us.

I didn't have time to think, just react.

I darted to the side, my heart hammering in my chest.

The first spear sliced through the air where I had been standing a moment ago.

The wind from it stung my skin, sharp as a blade.

I could feel the heat of the next one coming, and I barely twisted my body in time to dodge it.

My muscles screamed, fatigue starting to build as my body grew slower with each movement.

The third spear came at me from my left, so fast I didn't have a prayer of dodging without a near-fatal risk.
