Coercion
As Skye made her way back to her fellow disciples to 'protect' them, the focus shifted to a different part of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range. Here, the night was lit up by a mesmerizing yet deadly battle between two figures and a myriad of savage beasts.
Celaine and Asami were both part of this mission. Despite not having fully recovered from their injuries with the Shadowfang yet, they only saw that as a positive in this situation. Rank 7 beasts were of little consequence with their strength. Only Rank 8 beasts could give them a challenge.
However, as they were still not in peak condition, they would rather not face off against any Rank 8 beasts right now.
"Can you feel it, Celaine?" Asami asked, her eyes glinting dangerously under the moonlight. She gracefully maneuvered her fans, her dark powers seeping into the beasts that dared to approach. Their movements became sluggish, their roars turning into confused grunts.
