The ogres, too focused on Zion to consider her a threat, never even registered her presence, neither did Zion himself, until the moment she struck, gambling everything on a single, daring attack.
And so, she dashed forward. When she was at the perfect distance, she leapt into the air and hurled her dagger straight at the second ogre's right eye. No one saw it coming as the blade struck straight, embedding itself deep.
In the same motion, Addison swung back on the rope, using the momentum to put distance between them. She gave a sharp tug, yanking the dagger free, then rolled across the ground and darted away again, executing a flawless hit-and-run strike.
Zion was left speechless.
Addison's single strike had done what all his earlier, stamina-draining attacks could not. While his blows had only chipped away at the ogre with negligible effect, Addison had effectively blinded it in one eye.
