Both of them stared at each other deeply for a few beats. Northern's gaze was unwavering, shooting sparks that met the intense crimson eyes of the Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Dante, after glaring down at Northern for a couple seconds more, finally exhaled, a steamy air flowing out his nose.
He turned away, slowly took his sword and swung back. He pushed a leg forward and leaned his upper body towards that leg.
Northern watched him with a brow slightly raised.
Whish!
His eyes flew wide open as the Lieutenant blasted away. Then something happened.
The Lieutenant slashed his sword upward, cleaving a Rabid Rot in twain; instantly, every Rabid Rot on the expanse was cleaved in twain.
Before everybody else, all they saw was the Lieutenant turning to a blur, and a slash suddenly transmitting to all the monsters.
They were all led to think that the Lieutenant had moved faster than the speed of light and delivered all the strikes.
'His ability uses speed as deceit...' Northern grinned.
