Imu's Smile

The gigantic creature let out a low growl and took a step. The instant its foot hit the ground, it seemed as though the earth itself trembled beneath its power.

Its eyes glowed crimson, and a thunderous voice rumbled from deep in its throat, carrying an impossible-to-ignore sense of intimidation.

On the other side, the slender shadow creatures drifted about soundlessly. They dispersed like smoke, nearly blending into the dust surrounding the battlefield.

Suddenly, one of the shadow creatures charged at Jin An with unbelievable speed, its blade-sharp arm stabbing straight at his chest!

"Hiss—!"

The sound of air being sliced apart rang out. The shadow's attack was as swift as a gale, carrying icy killing intent.

Jin An's pupils narrowed slightly, but he showed no sign of panic. He lightly raised his long blade, and the instant the shadow drew near, the edge flashed with cold light!

"Clang—!"

Jin An's blade collided with the shadow's sharp arm, producing a piercing screech that set teeth on edge.

The shadow's movements stalled for an instant, but Jin An keenly caught that opening.

His body surged forward with the momentum, and his blade swept out again like lightning, precisely cutting into the shadow creature's core!

"Pfft—!"

The shadow let out a low wail, its body beginning to collapse like smoke before vanishing into the air.

However, Jin An's expression did not relax in the slightest, because he could sense more shadows silently closing in.

"These things are too fast."

Loki's voice came from not far away. He swung his warhammer down fiercely, smashing a shadow creature lunging at him into black fragments.

But before he could finish taking a breath, he discovered that the fragments were actually gathering together in midair, reforming into a new shape.

"They... can come back to life?"
