Leraje's eyes widened for a split second before they narrowed into threatening slits.
"Determination won't get you anywhere." He smirked, retrieving a vibrating arrow that seemed to dissolve the surrounding air. "Say goodbye to your demonic essence."
In a single breath, he drew his bow and scrutinised Adam's bloodied figure diving at him from the sky.
The string twanged when only ten meters separated them.
Unavoidable and whistling with incredible power, the arrowhead glinted with malice on its lethal trajectory.
Adam could only grit his teeth and shove his left arm into its path to protect himself from a fatal wound as he continued his desperate dive.
BAM
The arrow cracked his scales, halting his momentum for a split second. An excruciating pain blinded him as it dug into his flesh and drilled through his bones. Yet, confusion gnawed at him. He didn't feel the searing, festering pain, only the bizarre vibration of the arrowhead before his chaos forced it to stop.
