Right before Sungwoo decided to counterattack, something happened in an instant.
Clang!
Squeak!
It was the sound of something sharp scratching against each other.
Jisu touched Sungwoo's neck with the blade of her sword. More precisely she blocked the claws of the shadow that aimed at his neck.
"Argh! Avoid him!"
Sungwoo hurriedly pulled back, and she stood in his place and blocked him.
"Damn it!"
Vivona got furious when his surprise attack failed, then took his shoulder off the wall where he was leaning against.
He still didn't move a bit from his spot, but his long shadow stretched out and reached Sungwoo's feet.
Koooooooooooh-
And he was still moving independently, crawling on the floor like a predator. He was like a great white shark hovering around a boat. Suddenly, something rose from his shadow. They were three hook-shaped weapons.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jisu struck back the hooks flying in from all directions. But they were much faster than she expected.
