Kael's laughter froze on his face.
In the next instant, the monster had already moved.
The sound of splitting air exploded at close range, and the figure of 3373 transformed into a gray shadow, its claws directly aiming for the throat.
"Get lost!" Kael roared, forcibly activating the fighting energy within him.
Gray fighting energy burst from around him, enveloping his body like a coarse shell.
He swung his sword horizontally and upwards, the blade clashing directly with the claws.
"Chang—!"
A piercing metallic scraping sound echoed throughout the hall.
3373 was forcibly cleaved by this sword from shoulder to abdomen, its scales and flesh torn apart together, the body thrown into the air, crashing heavily against the edge of the blood pool.
Kael staggered to stand firm, his chest heaving violently.
"Did you see clearly?" he screamed hoarsely, his eyes bloodshot, "I am your master!"
3373 lay on the ground, its body twitching slightly, yet it did not die.
