The moment Merlin Kivan discovered him, and noticed that he was seriously attempting to replicate the One-Armed Saber technique, Zayn knew that hell was going to descend at any moment.
That couldn't be further from the truth as Merlin's stance changed in an instant. Without a trace of hesitation in his movements that were eerily smooth, Merlin shot at Zayn. Zayn couldn't even follow the one-armed man's movements properly. The only thing he was capable of was roughly gauging what was about to happen, and Zayn didn't really like what he was imagining.
His eyes widened as he noticed a saber thrust that seemed to come out of nowhere. One moment Merlin was still ten meters away from him, the other moment, Merlin had already appeared in front of him, the target of his saber thrust being Zayn's throat.
Goosebumps spread all across Zayn's body, his eyes widened and he could only instinctively hold his saber in front of him.
