The Recommencing Split

Nothing was more anti-climatic than seeing a Malevolence charging at you furiously only to trip on itself. If you really needed something even more anti-climatic, it would be her tripping the second time...

As the palm-sized Malevolence scrambled to get up and charged towards her target with her threatening hiss, but half-way through her sprint she fell again, and this time it was worse. Hao Ren could clearly hear the sound of one's face smashing into the ground, and he suddenly felt sorry for that god-knows-why-is-she-a-palm-sized Malevolence.

To think that this is a manifestation of malignant energies...

"Seems like it's still dazed by my sister's water spout." Nangong Sanba squatted by Hao Ren's side looking at the struggling creature with sympathy. "Look at her keep tripping herself."

"Why would a Malevolence this small even appear?" Hao Ren was still pondering the question. "Vivian, your splits are really unreasonable."
