Crown of Rebirth - Chapter 17
Neru ran towards the gate, his heart pounding in his chest. He could hear the guards behind him, their shouts echoing through the courtyard.
As he reached the gate, he saw a figure blocking his path. It was a woman, dressed in black leather armor, with a sword in her hand.
She was beautiful, with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes. But there was a coldness in her gaze that made Neru shiver.
“Who are you?” he asked, panting.
The woman didn’t answer. Instead, she raised her sword and advanced towards him.
Neru braced himself, ready to defend himself. But as she drew closer, he felt a strange sensation in his chest.
He felt a jolt of recognition, as if he had met this woman before. But he couldn’t remember where or when.
As the woman swung her sword, Neru felt a surge of energy inside him. He raised his hand and sent a blast of energy towards her.
The woman stumbled backwards, caught off guard. Neru took advantage of the moment and dashed through the gate.
