Collateral Damage

The blade chimed lightly as the black figure pulled out his sword.

The long sword didn’t even have a slight glint at first. It was black and gloomy, just like a burned wooden stick.

However, as the blade chimed, it started to glow green. Not jade green, which symbolized life energy, but a darker green with a hint of gray.

The gloomy green blade made Kieran feel uncomfortable.

He unconsciously frowned as he looked at the odd-looking sword. Just as his brow furrowed, something happened. The blood flooding the floor suddenly started burning.

The flames were not red, but bright green!

The color was similar to the color of the blade.

The green flames flew off like swallows returning to their nest, attracted by an unusual force, and gathered around the black figure’s sword.

Kieran shivered a bit and wanted to pull the trigger, but what happened next shocked him even more than the green flames.
