"You had one chance to take one of us out, and you picked the wrong target," Venedikt's voice sounded in the dissipating aftermath of the giant explosion.
"You sure know how to talk big for someone who barely survived even though you seemed to be expecting an ambush, or you are just very talented,"
"But in any case, you have given me a target to play with," Vesper said, with a playful hint to her tone as she saw Venedikt standing with his left arm missing just beyond his shoulder.
'If Alex hadn't warned me to stay prepared for an ambush, I would certainly be dead,' Venedikt mused, the agony of his incinerated arm coursing through his body in waves.
Venedikt had sensed the bullet because of void sense, but it was traveling so fast that the barrier ability he was prepared to use would not take effect in time, so in the moment of urgency, he used his left hand to cast the Space Compression, creating a quick barrier.
