Belgrod looked down in shock, unable to understand what was happening immediately.
The thin red line stretched from the left side of his abdomen to his right. He felt cold down there.
There was a stinging pain coming from the red line that had mysteriously appeared on his abdomen and he didn't dare to move for fear of making the pain worse.
As milliseconds passed, his brain began to register what had happened.
With his head still faced down and his eyes locked on the thin red line, his hand which was clasped tightly around Katari's neck slowly let go.
Katari fell to the ground, coughing vehemently after taking a few breaths. She didn't take any chances to attack the stunned tigers.
Instead, she ran over to Kael's body and hugged him tightly. She used her body to shield him from the sun and from the eyes of those who might attack him. She might not have much power left at her disposal but she still had her body.
