It was no longer just a case of facing a woman whose appearance disappeared whenever she felt like it but of facing a woman capable of crushing the chest of one of his men with a single blow.
To murder him in one blow!
So he looked fiercely at Isla. 'I have to kill her as soon as possible. I can't let my transformation show.'
He felt desperate, so he lunged at Isla with great ferocity, activating several curses to increase his strength to the limit.
But his attack only hit the air, pushing a residual image of Isla into oblivion. At the same time, he felt a dagger pierce his side.
"Shit..." He quickly turned his head as he felt the danger at his neck and managed to dodge an attack that would probably have blown his head off if he hadn't.
He raised his leg to punch the stomach of Isla, who had finally materialized near him, and managed to push her away, although he had a wound in his side.
