Izroth's Sword of the Storm descended upon Maragos and carried with it an overbearing wave of destruction.
As the blade approached him, Maragos' expression darkened. He had not dropped his guard for a moment, but this person before him managed to create their own opportunity.
"I thought I overestimated this creature by using the Night Blooming Phase, but—it seems I've still looked down on them." Maragos internalized as the dark Ethos around him became abnormally calm.
The next moment, a crimson red liquid began to stream from Maragos' eyes as his pupils turned pitch black.
The liquid that fell from the anzeyta's eyes resembled blood; however, it appeared to be an unknown type of substance.
Izroth realized the abrupt changes happening to Maragos, but he did not pull back on his attack.
Swoosh!
