It was different from the time when Happy had fought against the Red Flame monster. He had keenly captured the moment Manor Master had been dazed because of the change in the quest and executed the slash.
Whine!
But Manor Master was an old monster in Moksha Realm. Despite the slash being done from very close to him, and it being clear that he was taken off guard, Manor Master sensed the threat of death looming over his head the moment the sword force rose. Then, without turning around, he did something that even Happy did not expect him to do.
The silver and golden hoop intersected and passed by the sword force in the air.
The astonishing glare that rose from the silver and gold hoop created sparks in the air, and it crashed into the second sword force with an otherworldly might, diverting it.
Manor Master managed to save himself at the critical moment.
