Chapter 114 - Run! (1/2)
I reach for my power and smile when I feel it answer my call. I flick my wrists and wind suddenly hits me from behind, aiding me in running away. I'm still not strong enough to do a whole lot right now so I'll take what I can get!
The Shadow guard's eyes nearly pop out of his head when he sees Nova taking off at an unreal speed. Her cultivation level isn't that high!! She's still in the first tier!! How can she run so fast!?! He grits his teeth and tries to catch up to the crafty woman.
I run through a short wooded area but when I come to a cliff, I grow worried. I don't think my wind will be enough to keep me from falling to my death... maybe it could save me but it would still leave me crippled if the drop is too high.
As I get closer, I hear the sound of water making me smile. I run to the edge as the Shadow guard suddenly attacks me from behind. I dodge to the left and struggle to keep on my feet as I come to a sudden stop. Panting, I turn around and glare at the Shadow guard.
He points his finger at me and says ”You! You evil woman!! I command you to stop right this instant! Master will be extremely displeased! If you value your life at all, you need to come with me now!” He glares at me with red eyes and spits the blood out of his mouth as I smirk at him.
It's fine, I needed to catch my breath anyway. I grin at him and shake my head while saying ”One, I don't take commands. Two, I don't care what YOUR master has to say or how upset he will be and three... I'm running away BECAUSE I value my life! Are you mentally impaired? Who would actually willingly want to be a prisoner...”
The Shadow guard's eye twitches as he clenches his fist and says ”I WILL kill you if you don't come with me.” I scoff at the man and say ”You can try.” I step back towards the edge of the cliff causing the Shadow guard to become nervous.
”You stupid woman! If you fall from this height, you will die! Stop playing around!!” He says with growing panic as I continue to step back. I give him a knowing smile as I say ”It looks like someone will have to break the bad news to their Master...”
He tries to step forward so I quickly run to the edge, making him freeze with both his hands out in the air in front of him. ”Wait wait wait... okay, I'll forget everything that happened. I won't tell Master what you've done. Just come back. I won't hurt you.”
I chuckle at him and say ”Sorry but I don't trust liars.” I step back and flip him off with both fingers as my body falls off the cliff. His face looks shocked and terrified as he tries to run to me but it's too late. I quickly twist around and straighten my legs as I tuck my chin in.
As the huge roaring river comes into view, I take a deep breath right before I hit the water. I pull air to me as I pull the water up to greet me halfway. The water wraps around me as I quickly pull a huge ball of air to me.
