Time came to a grinding halt as I watched Nyla thrash onto the floor, her eyes lighting up, those X-shaped pupils gaining a certain glow as red-colored energy burst from within her. Just as those X lights lit up, I felt a hit on my body, my insides churning as if hit by a truck.
'So that's what they do.'
Holding back the pain, I now understood in-depth the functions of her eyes. Those eerie eyes seemed to inflict the same pain on her opponent's back to them. Those X shapes were the markers that allowed her to return all the pain. The good thing here was that she could only return the pain, but that only existed for now. Once she unlocked everything, she would even be able to return the injuries too.
"That's some special punch you got there," I spoke.
"And that's one hell of a punch you got," Nyla replied as she caught her stomach. Her monstrous vampire healing quickly got her better. Her back straight, she looked at me with a smile as she spoke.
