Though the man showed signs of communicating and no other abnormalities, Liora had never let her guard down.
Thus, facing his sneak attack, she reacted immediately.
Attacked from both the left and the right side, she didn't choose to evade, nor defend.
Instead, her right hand blurred, and she unsheathed her saber before several crimson lights flickered.
The two serpents' forward momentum suddenly halted.
The next moment, a thunderous bang echoed, and they exploded like fireworks, soon dispersing into nothingness.
But Liora did not have the time to celebrate. The moment the two serpents vanished, another, equally terrifying attack came.
The man flashed beside her and punched her on the abdomen, as his right hand transformed into a black snake, with two green eyes blinking continuously.
As she stared into their indifferent pupils, Liora felt herself go dizzy.
However, a loud clang suddenly echoed inside her mind and jolted her awake.
