The spike arrow screamed through the chamber. It cut through the hot air like a flash of black lightning, fast enough to leave a rippling black hue in its wake.
For one glorious moment, Rohan could feel the true power behind that strike. It was by far the most powerful attack he'd delivered so far in his time as an Awakened.
His own Horned Rabbit Spear couldn't quite compare with the speed and energy behind such a shot — this was why archers were considered some of the most dangerous foes to face off against in the lower ranks of Awakened.
However, like a predator that had sensed danger, Liam moved.
Not too much, just an instinctive shift of a dangerous man sensing death near his skin. Perhaps he had heard the faint ripping and tearing the arrow made as it tore through the air.
Or perhaps he really did just have a sixth sense.
But as a result of his reaction, the shot missed its mark.
Instead, the spiked arrow slammed straight through his right arm below the shoulder.
