It was about 800 meters from where they were to where the beast was. In each stride, Shanzo took, he could hear himself breathing. To him, it was like he was running in slow motion.
He looked around him as he was running, his intuition telling him that he was being watched. The fact that he knew he was slower than Malique did not help, but he put all his efforts into surpassing his limits and reached the beast in seconds.
He had no time to take a breather. He touched the beast with his storage item and it was quickly absorbed. The lighting was still around its body but significantly less threatening.
His armor and his defensive field helped with absorbing the shock. As soon as the beast disappeared into his storage ring, goosebumps went throughout his skin as he felt danger.
He turned in the direction where he came from, but as soon as he was about to start running, what he thought was going to happen happened.
