43 Ambush (2/2)

As if sensing the man's movement, Vulpix jumped out of Rina's arms. It crouched in front of her. Despite it's trembling leg, it was evidently adamant in defending her. It's eyes, filled with determination, stared at the man.

”What tenacious little bug.” The man glared maliciously at the fire Pokemon. He slashed forward. Wind blades assaulted the Pokemon from all sides, leaving cuts all over its body.

”Recall! Go back now!” Renae yelled, her voice edging on hysteria. ”Leave!”

Vulpix ignored her, sending another blast of flames toward the man. It clashed weakly against his wind, before dissipating.

”Amusing creatures this is. But pets are merely pets after all.” Swirling a finger, the wind rushed toward the fire Pokemon. It lifted it up despite its struggles, and blasted it into the air. Within a blink of an eye, it vanished into the distance. ”Hmm, I'm sure when it falls down, it will die anyway.”

Rina stared blankly at the empty sky. Her heart clenched, eyes darkening.

”Why . . . ”

”Why? Hmm, I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you. Dead men tell no tales anyway.” He grinned , tapping the knife against her cheek. ”Ah, who knows what you did to offend the Zhao family. Blame yourself for not recognizing Mt. Tai ah.” He clucked his tongue in mock pity.

”Well, perhaps your next life will be more lucky.” The knife plunged through her stomach.

The pain ricocheted through her body. Rina coughed. ”Next life?” Her eyes blazed with anger. ”I rather haunt them as a ghost after death.” The hatred in her eyes was unnerving given her young face.

She fell into the darkness, just as a beeping noise sounded in her head.

”What the hell! ” The man leaped back in shock. Rina stood up robotically. Red pupils stared at the man.

[Detecting of threat to host. Eliminate] A brown belt appeared around Rina. [Activate trump card]

In a flash, Rina transformed, lion ears and paws appearing on her. [Eliminate]

Her hand closed around shocked man's neck. He chocked, his eyes trained on the knife wound in the stomach. It was completely healed!

Rina's hand snapped the neck like a twig.

Her tiny figure vanished into the darkness.
