“Huh...?” Aquaz muttered blankly. Ketal’s attack was so fast that it was completely invisible to her naked eye.
The last thing she remembered was Ashetiaar’s hammer descending toward Ketal’s head. Yet in the blink of an eye, Ashetiaar’s head had been destroyed. Ketal was brushing off his fist casually.
