Just as Louis was about to break through the final barrier.
A silver-white feline shadow flashed like lightning, blocking his path.
The Ragdoll cat's sharp claws glinted coldly. Her turquoise cat-like eyes burned with fury, and every strand of her raised fur bristled with killing intent.
Louis's pupils contracted abruptly. His massive tail froze mid-air.
"Alita, what are you doing here? Where is your Personal Guard?"
He remembered the Mutant Beasts luring those soldiers to the South Gate.
Alita's fur stood on end with rage, making her look a size larger than before. She swiped her claws at his face.
"I don't need help to kill you!"
Her claws scraped violently against Louis's Scale Armor, sending sparks flying.
She lowered her body, a threatening growl rumbling in her throat. "You escaped death row last time. This time, I'll skin you alive!"
The scales all over Louis's body flared out with a CLACK. His violet-black pupils constricted violently.
