Crownslayer moved through the outskirts of Chernobog, moving her scarf upwards to cover her mouth.
The winds were blowing stronger, the sands of the wasteland moving along with them to press against her body.
Once the Nomadic City had stopped moving, the Rebbah had taken the opportunity to escort all the sane Reunion members outside, eventually separating from them.
If anything, staying inside that blasted city was way worse than the wasteland, only death awaited people like them inside those walls.
Besides, traveling the wasteland had a greater opportunity of encountering another Nomadic City, even if one bore the risk of encountering a Catastrophe...
Was she heeding that woman Kal'tsit's advice after being humiliated by her back in Lungmen? Most likely-
"Hey~ I remember you!"
Crownslayer froze, every cell in her body screaming at her to not turn around and run away as far as she could.
"You were that guy who hid in those shadows, huh?"
A hand placed itself on Crownslayer's right shoulder, before her frozen body started to quiver at the contact.
Slowly turning her head to the left, she met with those blasted eyes that had burned themselves into her head, the sheer terror of those blue skies clawed at her very soul.
"So~ whatcha doin' now?" Gojo smiled while patting her shoulder, his other hand placed within his pocket.
"Y-you..." Crownslayer saw her life flash before her eyes at that very moment, all of her life choices being rendered absolutely useless before this monster.
"Are you gonna respond to that, or nah?" Gojo craned his neck and lowered his head, the white bangs of his hair obscuring his eyes in strands.
The only thing Crownslayer knew about this man was that he arrived on the battlefield, and blasted all of Reunion before escaping.
She even heard how he held off FrostNova, Talulah, and goddamn Patriot of all people while doing so. Due to the fact that he was standing here before her, and how the city of Chernobog had stopped moving...
'He killed them all, didn't he?' Crownslayer didn't know of FrostNova's condition, contact with her had been completely lost ever since the Yeti Squadron was assumed to have been captured.
A Red blast had ripped a chunk of Chernobog off, something she instantly recognized as the white haired man's attack, it was far too obvious.
Crownslayer wanted to jump off the city's walls when she first saw it, but couldn't if she didn't want to be crushed by the wheels of a mobile city.
Then came the Purple one... Dear god, the Purple one...
The fact that two of them had detonated within Chernobog's confines didn't bode well with Crownslayer either, so all she could do was watch in bated breaths.
Would the city itself collapse? Would that monster, who she couldn't even see, find her?
Crownslayer had realized she was far too foolish to assume that it was all over when she was able to exit Chernobog, a lesson to never let her guard down by her 'maestro,' having been forgotten.
"Uh... You've been frozen for like, a good minute now?" Gojo shook her shoulder, making the hooded Rebbah yet out a fearful yelp.
Crownslayer shut her eyes, her trained muscle memory of drawing her dagger and striking first had been utterly annihilated from this man's presence. The full realization of death had struck her nerves, like the cruel embrace of Death itself coming to bring her under..
