Mountain Peak [1]

Damien and Rose were quick to meet, as they both headed to each other the second they finished assimilating their gains. The only one left was Zara.

"You were pretty slow to reach 3rd class, hm?" Rose teased in a condescending tone

She might've tried to sound bold, but she was inwardly shocked. The number of threads connecting to Damien had drastically increased, but none of them were connected to people.

She could only see the location of two threads at the moment, but the most obvious one was connected to the sun itself. 'How can one have a karmic connection to the freaking sun?'

Still, she had no intention to back down.

"I might've been slower but it doesn't mean you can beat me," Damien replied with a smirk. The two kept walking towards each other without pause.

"Hmm, I don't know about that one. How about we test that assumption?" Rose replied, still closing the distance.
