Goldien did not expect such a skill from the demon. He was caught off guard. However, he had been on many battlefields for a long time. With his experience, he managed to think of a countermeasure for the attack.
Goldien raised and put his arms up. His arms were glowing in bright gold. He could not avoid the blade, so blocking it was the best he could do to minimize the damage.
Swoosh!
However, Goldien's countermeasure was just not enough to block Zaneos' blade. The blade cut through the wrists. Goldien's eyes widened in shock, terror, and fear. All of it mixed into a complex emotion Goldien never felt before. He looked at his own hands fell off as blood spurted out.
"Goldien!" The Obsidian Gator, The Venomous Gator, and The Earthern Gator came over. "What-" The Obsidian Gator stopped his words midway when he looked at the missing arm. Goldien was just as strong as them. How could he be defeated so easily? It was not even a minute since Goldien charged at the demon.
