The abyssal staggered slightly while getting on its feet . Ray still didn't take it for granted despite it's display of weakness.
'I'll put it to rest with the fourth after I weaken it further,' he concluded before streaking to the abyssal, which stood still like a statue.
When he got close to it, he was about to swing his sword when the abyssal suddenly slashed out at lightning speed which caused Ray's eyes to widen.
Even though he expected the abyssal to attack, this speed was just....
And also the abyssal's attack was directed at somewhere he didn't expect. His right fore-arm which he was just starting to swing forward.
The speed was too fast to evade as he had already began making a forward movement of his own. So he did the only thing he could think of as he couldn't rely on his aura and clothes.
