Zaefal gripped the handle of his greatsword. A thick black aura appeared and enveloped the entire blade. Thin black smoke flowed out from the metal edges.
The monster screeched loudly. From its back, dozens of sharp crystals glided heavily toward Zaefal.
"Void," Zaefal murmured.
Zaefal swung his sword in a circular motion. Every crystal that touched the black aura on his sword instantly vanished as if swallowed. Several other crystals that were not hit by the aura were deflected and shattered against the sand around him. Zaefal continued to move forward while parrying the barrage of attacks.
My reflex ability increased quite drastically after breaking through the barrier. Is the effect really this drastic? Zaefal muttered inwardly.
Zaefal darted forward. He kicked his foot into the sand and jumped high.
The eyes! Zaefal thought. He shot toward the head of the monster. His black blade slashed right into the monster's eyeball. Thick blue liquid sprayed out.
