"If I waited for you, the monster could have already died from boredom by the time we reach here!" Even with the added reinforcements, Zi Dan exhibited his relief with a bit of sarcasm at Xiao Mao but also knew that they still did not have the capability to defeat Dorian.
Without a doubt, Kong Xian was blown back by Dorian's psychic attacks. If not for Zi Dan quick wits to throw the shield back at Kong Xian to defend himself, he would have been shred to pieces by the blast.
Even Kong Xian who thought his new shield was sturdy enough, it was already severely dented by the recent kinetic energy blast from the Valg Humanoid. "Ahhh… That one cost about 200 over panda medals…" Kong Xian said to himself as he kept the shield and focused holding on his two handed sword.
Even though Zi Dan was relived by the additional support, he could not fathom why Kong Xian who was supposed to be heading towards the opposite side of the throne hall, would be right beside him.
