Jennifer and Erika's eyes darted frantically, their senses strained.
Whoosh!
A sudden rush of air whispered past them.
"Behind us!" Jennifer shouted, whirling around. To their astonishment, the space behind them remained empty.
"You coward! Show yourself!" Erika hissed, her voice edged with frustration.
Whoosh!
Another icy breeze brushed their skin.
"She's toying with us," Jennifer murmured, her voice low.
BAM!
A sharp sting pierced Jennifer's back, and she gasped, dropping to her knees.
"Jennifer!" Erika cried, her eyes widening in horror. A deep gash marred Jennifer's back, clearly inflicted by a blade.
"Don't... Don't worry, I'm alright." Jennifer slowly rose, the wound knitting itself closed within seconds.
"Garuda grants rapid healing," Jennifer explained, and Erika nodded in relief.
"Do you have a way to force her to reveal herself?" Jennifer asked, her gaze sweeping the area. "If this continues, we're doomed."
