Chapter 154

70. His Arrival

SKYLA.

I slash through another serpent, the sword itself holds power… I can feel it pulsating up my arm.

“Ri?!” Mama’s voice comes.

“She’s here.” Mama Red’s voice comes, she sounds in pain…

“Where are you?” Granddad El growls.

“I’m afraid I don’t agree,” Rayhan replies, making me smirk. “Be careful.”

“I’ll be fine, go Rayhan.” Delsanra answers. Her voice is weak, and I don’t think she’ll hold for long.
