Bab 291: Lucien vs Pride (1/2)

Everything happens very fast, even for Lucien, who has ridiculously powerful senses.

As the bright light blinds him, he hears the air in front of him being cut and knows that someone is attacking him.

Lucien doesn't know who his enemy is, their strength, or their weapon. But all of that doesn't matter because he has to protect Oya in his arms at any cost.

But what movement can he also make while evading by pushing himself backward in the air?

His instincts act on impulse while Lucien turns around to keep Oya away from his attacker's weapon while summoning his red katana in his other hand, positioned in front of his waist.

His action, despite being quick, is inefficient because while he is blind and turning his back on his attacker, they can clearly see the blade of his katana and attack another part of Lucien's body.

In that case, it is the face.

*BAM*

Lucien feels his face smashed by a brutally powerful attack with a force he has never felt before.
