Chapter 57: Extend my Greetings

Peeling my hands from my face the moment the blinding light died off, I expectantly glanced at my sword as it hovered brightly in the air, but to my dismay, it's still a distance away from my reach and I was nearly devastated at the result.

"It...didn't work?" I tried to catch my uneven breath after taking those severe formations, feeling totally disappointed with myself. I gave it my best and yet I still failed. Where did I go wrong in my steps?

Pondering on my failure, the earth started to crumble beneath my feet to the point I lost my balance due to it's friction, falling to the ground weakly with a painful groan escaping my throat. Those formations really drained me out.

"What's happening?"

I could sense dark powers surrounding the cave itself and most of all, a killing intent.

I gasped and hastily moved out of the way as a claw came at me from nowhere, rolling to the other side unable to get back up to my feet.
