Six to One

"One down… six to go." 

Emery calmly said, as he stared at the female acolyte inside the block of ice.

Without giving anyone a moment to respond, Emery struck the block of ice with his claws, destroying it to pieces with just one hit.

At that moment, Fei Ling's calm and rather smug demeanor had been replaced by utter shock. The sword expert froze in place as her eyes stuck to Emery's raised claws, causing her complexion to instantly pale.

She knew what those claws were going to pierce next.

"Wait, wait, wait… I was just ordered to…"

Fear and helplessness were apparent on the girl's face, but the anger within him felt much stronger than usual, making him care less about what he was about to do to the female acolyte.

Emery knew the urge to inflict pain, kill or at least pierce his claws into her was the side effect of the fey transformation, so he quickly took a deep breath and tried to regain his control.
