147 The Mountain King

Without knowing their capabilities, Vanessa headed out at a pretty fast pace. The other two straggled behind at a far distance, shouting warnings of the mountains. She didn't care. Vanessa planned on getting to the shrine and getting the light to finish this month's theme. It was possible though that she would have to beat these two soon.

Clearly, she wanted the high ground to launch an ambush. But those two pests wouldn't give her the time to set one. She hopped from boulder to boulder to make her way up the mountain. The was a steep cliff not too far. Knocking them over would be ideal.

Thus she began charging Masamune with wind. There was a light white glow to it. One that the pair couldn't see due to it still being sheathed. It was perfect to her plan of luring the pair the center up the edge of the mountain to they take the high ground. Even better that they followed her perfectly as planned.
