Inside the Gate, in a gigantic dark chamber where the corpse of an enormous A Rank beast lay sprawled across the stone floor, a grin slowly spread across Ethan's face.
"So..."
He lowered his stance as blue electricity began crawling across his arms. Flickers snapped from his fingertips before disappearing into the darkness.
"I guess it's time for the rematch."
The vampire's smile widened.
"I've been waiting."
She rose from the corpse of the enormous monster, stepping casually across its black-scaled body before dropping lightly onto the stone floor. For the first time since Ethan had seen her, the relaxed amusement disappeared from her expression.
Her slitted eyes sharpened, and something far more dangerous entered them.
The atmosphere changed.
It wasn't merely killing intent.
This was pressure, one that could only be radiated by someone extremely powerful.
