Abel's knife shined with blinding light and released a piercing blow aimed for Noah's chest.
'Shadow! Echo!'
Before that attack could hit him, Noah called for his two blood companions.
Two fuming beasts tore Noah's clothes and stood in the trajectory of the incoming attack.
The knife cut through their bodies almost unhindered, those blood companions came from rank 3 beasts after all, they were not a match for Abel's attack.
However, the smoke that they released managed to slightly deviate the trajectory of the knife, making it land on Noah's stomach.
The knife dug in his body, stopping only after it came out of his back.
Noah found himself with a hole at the center of his torso.
However, pain wasn't enough to stop him.
Even with such a wound, he continued to focus on his opponent.
His sabers were stabbed in Abel's body, continuously pouring black smoke in his body, yet he was still alive!
He was defenseless though since his weapon was stuck in Noah's body.
