Delphinium knew it! She was being followed! The creature that now stood in front of her raised its sword, ready for battle. Delphinium summoned Chimera and drew out her own sword.
The creature made the first move, lunging at Delphinium head-on. Chimera threw a punch at it, but the black creature jumped out of the way.
"Graviton Ball!" Delphinium shouted as Chimera threw a ball of dark energy at the creature. The enemy dodged, but the attack hit its side, tearing away some of its armor. Delphinium rushed towards it, ready to slice it in two. The creature used its own sword to block the attack. Chimera threw another punch at it. The creature broke its sword lock with Delphinium and ducked out of the way and lashed its sword at Delphinium. She tried to dodge, but the sword ripped at her side.
Delphinium backed away, clutching her side, felling warm moisture spreading, and she knew that if she were to look down, she would see a dark red spot spreading throughout her clothes.
When the creature lunged again, Delphinium was ready. She dodged the sword as she used her own to slice its hand off. The creature screamed and Chimera swung a punch at it, sending it flying into a tree. Chimera then released another Graviton Ball at it. This time, the attack hit and all that was left of the creature were a few wisps of smoke.
"What was that thing?" Delphinium said.
"What is it? What is it?" Deathroy said. Delphinium glanced around to see if there were any other surprises waiting, but nothing came out. Delphinium gasped as the wound burned with pain. She trudged on, seeing a town up ahead. Delphinium decided to tend to her wound there before setting off again to hunt down Logi. He would pay for betraying Lord Nene two and a half years ago.
