Care

Sylas was taken aback, but his reaction was quicker than his shock. Out of the archer's line of sight, he used the full brunt of his telekinesis.

Olivia's dagger cut through the air like it had shot out of a cannon. Sylas poured everything he had into it.

Max barely managed to recover, sensing that something was wrong. He tilted to the side, but he wasn't fast enough to stop the dagger from tearing right into his shoulder. His left arm immediately went limp.

Sylas tried to draw the blade across his body, but the resistance was too strong. With the combination of Madness and the blade, the piercing power had the effectiveness of around 150 points of Strength, but there were too many other variables at play to end it all in a single strike.

A pained cry left Max's lips and Sylas knew that he was running out of time. That archer would be here soon.

Sylas moved forward, his stride so long he closed the distance in a single bound.
