บท 302: Second Task (3)

Dawn stood on the ground with her feet fixed firmly. The sky, which had turned dark, streaked silver lights across Ixoviya's landscape. Her eyes narrowed and they flickered a golden yellow. Everything became slow motion. She looked at Dolgra whose face was contorted into a horrible expression with her fangs bared and lengthened, her wings flapping behind her horizontal body and her horns straight as ramrod. She was like a bull charging at the red cloth. Dawn waited with her dagger with extreme focus. As soon as Dolgra came near her, she whirled and moved from her place elegantly. As she did that she sliced her left wing with jambīya right from top to the bottom in a neat stroke. The dagger slashed it and burnt the length of the cut. But the claw at the top of her wing had grazed Dawn's upper arm.
