Silence fell among the group. Monica froze in terror, and Khan ended up in a similar situation. However, his stillness didn't come from the same feelings. The shock barely lasted one second before turning into something darker.
The same clicking growl that Khan had heard from the cloud spell became a background noise in his mind. Meanwhile, wild thoughts ran among it and gave birth to nefarious ideas.
Princess Edna's revelation had stunned Ron. That was the second time he threatened Khan for the wrong reasons. It was within his tasks to be so thorough, but regret inevitably piled on and distracted him for a few seconds.
Khan didn't miss that distraction. His sensitivity fused with his wild thoughts and battle experience to give birth to a plan that could exploit that window. Ron was a fourth-level warrior with unknown prowess and abilities, but a Wave spell could surprise even the most troublesome opponents.
