Lyle's transformation into his [ Blood Lord ] form, as well as the immense aura that accompanied it, most of it a fake Tier V aura that Lyle released with the help of his [ Dominating Aura of a Lord ] stunned Obolev for an instant.
It was only an instant, but it was enough for Lyle who had already appeared in front of Obolev, his two daggers slashing forward, aiming at Obolev's eyes and throat.
The General was experienced, however, and he quickly responded to the attack.
He let go of the sword with his left hand, only holding it with the right hand now, and quickly lifted it to block the dagger coming for his throat with the back of the gauntlets which should be tough enough to withstand the attack while he twisted his hips, moving out of the way of the second dagger that was about to stab him through the eye.
