The Corpse Witch Penny's Debut (2)

Through Visual Synchronization, Green switched to Penny's perspective. To his surprise, beyond the door lay no ordinary suite, but a sizable Domed Hall. Rows of pillars divided the space below into squares five meters across. It was far larger than it looked from outside and piled with all manner of things. With no light source, the hall was dim and chaotic.

This cramped, complicated terrain was ill-suited to deploying large numbers of Skeleton Soldiers. It favored a stronger individual fighter like Penny instead.

Penny moved with athletic agility, carrying her enormous scythe as she advanced without a sound.

Just then, gunshots rang out again. Flame from an Enchanted Pistol lit up a corner of the room, followed by a burst of Psychic Energy. A green vine shot forth with astonishing speed and, with a wet thud, struck its target, piercing straight through the gunman's chest.

The fight broke out so suddenly and unfolded so quickly that even Penny's sharp eyes and reflexes failed to catch sight of whoever controlled the green vine. Everything pointed to Peter Pan.

As for the dead gunman, his body lay on the floor but could still writhe. Skin and muscle melted rapidly, mingling with blood before floating into the air and forming an eyeball!

The eyeball was larger than a soccer ball. It hovered there, flashing with an eerie red light.

Almost at the same instant, an exclamation of surprise came from the direction of the green vine. Another vine shot out, aimed straight at the newly formed crimson eyeball. But a red beam erupted from the eye to meet it. With a sharp hiss, the two collided, and the vine wrapped in green light shattered on impact!

Green saw it through Visual Synchronization, and his heart stirred. *That eyeball... It's the Blood Eye! Are
