Space itself rippled as Nicholas brought down his sword, aiming straight at the head of the drake whose eyes constricted upon noticing the attack.
The slash arrived in an instant, space itself being divided by it, but once it reached the drake, something weird happened.
The slash collided with the scales of the drake, and in that instant, space rippled around the drake as the scales seemingly changed it, slowing down the attack and making it less dangerous.
The slash did do some damage, actually cutting through some of the scales and drawing blood, but when one compared the cut to the immense size of the drake, it was nothing, just a flesh wound that the immense vitality of the drake would heal in mere seconds.
"Tch, the bastard can actually slightly manipulate the space around him," Nicholas said as he clicked his tongue in annoyance, but to him, it was not unexpected.
