Chapter 69: Bonds
It had been a short duel between both sides but it was a dangerous one. The aftermath of the clash had ripped off branches from their trees and had made marks on the terrain.
The beast countered a flying knife with its scythe like limbs before correctly determining Noah's position. With a roar its body blurred as it sped through the web of shadows to intercept the youth, and its effort paid off as it grabbed on Noah with one of its arms preventing the youth from sinking into the shadows like it had been doing since the battle started.
Its body swelled as it ran more nether through its channels, moving its energy towards the youth inn its grasp. Noah tried hard to escape from the iron grip of the beast and failed, he had to form a blade of shadows on what of the sticks it held and stick in deep into the arm of the beast before he was free from its grasp, but not before a stream of nether flowed in to his system.
