Lost and TAKE

10: "We need to..."

"How.. disappointing."

The black hair woman who is not moving since earlier now make a move. She slowly stands up from the ice throne and looks at the direction where Clara should be at.

"Lose to a bunch of lice."

The sound of her heels sounded quite loud when it made contact with the ice floor.

"How disappointing."

The red veins on her body are glowing.

She snaps her finger and all the trees turn black. All the trees are dead. An abundance of white mist from the dead trees move towards the woman. Slowly the mist or should be called the life force of the trees absorbed into her body.

She clenched her right hand repeatedly when she felt the life force swirling inside her.

"Tasty."

She licks her lips and looks around.

"Now come. Show me something interesting, human."

"What should we do now, Cale-ssi? Did we need to use the same method?"

Cale looked back at the dead trees. He can't use the trees anymore so he can't bind her with the branches. He needs to find another way.

"We just need to repeat the same and I'll shoot the arrow but..."

Cale knew what Noah wanted to say. This time will be much more difficult. They need more power.

"We'll make a way for you just like before."

Yoo Joonghyuk tighten his gripped on his sword. In this early scenario, they shouldn't encounter a demon yet. But here they are, a disaster who turned out to be a demon. This disaster is not even entitled as demon king, but she's strong.

"How long do you want to talk hm?"

The slow whisper makes them shiver. They didn't turn around to know whose voice is that. They can't move because of the pressure emitted behind them.
They don't even notice that she's not in front of them anymore.

How fast does she move?!

Out of instinct, Yoo Joonghyuk swings his sword towards his opponent on his back. A big gust of wind was created because of the impact of the sword colliding with something.

"How dull."

Yoo Joonghyuk widen his eyes when he saw that she just a few inches in front of him. His sword got stuck on a black tree branch.

'She can control the trees too?'

She cups his jaw and a sly smirk blooms on her face for the first time.

"You live quite long."

She narrowed their distance and whispered right beside his ear.

"Mister regressor."

Yoo Joonghyuk flinched before he could not feel her touch on his face anymore.

"Yoo Joonghyuk, snap out of it."

He blinks his eyes when he heard Kim Dokja's voice. He breaks the tree branches to retrieve back his sword.

At that time he senses that the black tree is tougher than a normal tree.

It is because it's already dead or it is because that demon controls it?

All of them turn back towards Naily who is standing at her usual spot just now with a mocking smile adorning her face.
