372 The Strong

WHACK!

Kuro had just evaded the harpy's claws. But who would have thought that the elemental would suddenly change the course of its attack? He got caught solidly on his abdomen as he had used his arm and hands to form seals and fortified the barrier. If he hadn't, the people outside would definitely see what was going on. He was not good enough to maintain it alone and couldn't multitask.

URGH…

The impact sent the Fuuma catapulting several meters. Kuro sweated, his vision blurry, as a nauseating feeling engulfed him due to the pain. Ozomene let out another scream as she hurriedly rushed to give Kuro a finishing blow. Her claws high up, ready to descend, but was distracted by something in the air.

Ozomene stopped and sniffed. Kuro saw as the harpy brought down its claws as tried to analyze the air. Then it stiffened. The harpy's face crumpled into one of enrage – much angrier than it had been earlier and he didn't know why.
