Chapter 177: Darkness

More tall figures appeared around Khan as the monsters continued to charge forward. The dark gas had made them unable to notice the death of their companion, but they wouldn't have cared anyway. They had precise but simple orders, and they didn't dare to ignore them.

Khan shot after the nearest monster. His sprint made him reach his opponent in no time, and his left arm stretched before the creature could notice him. However, the knife didn't manage to pierce the beast's skull when it stabbed its head.

The monster noticed Khan at that point. It roared angrily as it turned toward while interrupting its charge. Three of its legs slid on the ground and created long holes as it tried to stop and swing its paw toward its opponent.

Khan only needed to run around the creature to dodge the incoming attack. He stabbed his opponent's head again when he reached its side, but he ended up failing to execute the technique correctly again.
