Underground [4]

"Nadya!!"

My scream woke her up. Quick on her feet, she removed her hand from the ladder, immediately falling onto Elyisa.

"Kyaa!!"

Elyisa screamed, feeling Nadya's weight on her body.

She quickly grabbed Nadya, a trail of silver barely noticeable as the blade cut the air where Nadya's head was supposed to be.

I didn't think twice before grabbing Elyisa's leg and jerking her off the ladder. She fell down, clutching Nadya.

"Hupp."

Flexing my leg muscles, I jumped up. The ladder beneath me bent due to the force as my body propelled upwards.

In the next instant, I saw a hideous, ugly being with a cracked-open face and grey skin trying to get down from the open hatch.

"Krchhhh!!!"

He screamed as soon as his gaze fell on me, inching closer.

My body slowed down as I touched the finger ring on my hand.

Draupnir.
