Only then did Cedric pull his nodachi from the head of the creature, sending blood spattering across the cobblestones.
At that moment, he looked like he had been dragged through hell and back. Although the major injuries on his body had been healed by Athena, there were still a lot of minor cuts and bruises littered across his skin. Even his kimono was shredded and stained with black, foul-smelling blood.
He took a few ragged breaths to steady himself, before looking around.
After several hours of non-stop fighting, it was finally quiet.
