Moving towards the succubus, James used the element of time to close the distance of perhaps a hundred metres between them in just a second and was about to thrust his sword at the succubus when his whole body trembled.
Immediately turning around, he swung his sword and the sound of metals colliding rose into the air:
"CHING!!!"
"No..."
When James said these words, Clarent shuddered, the precious sword seemed to be getting nervous.
Ariel had attacked James. The Succubus' spell seemed to have worked on Ariel in great detail, which was not good news.
James took a few steps back as he carefully parried Ariel's attack, he had to be careful as if he tried to attack the succubus he might get another attack from Ariel.
The smile on the succubus's face seemed to grow wider and wider, and when Ariel stepped in front of the monster to protect her, James shook his head and said, "Don't be mad at me if I hurt you, Ariel."
