The saber is about to hit and to those who are close to the scene of the battle, all of them seems to be holding their breath, one side hoping that the saber would hit, the other hoping it would not hit
But Ota is quite calm even when he realizes that the saber is only inches away from his neck.
Swoosh
The saber flashes and the dividing line between life and death is only inches away.
A smile still on his face, Ota simply tilt his body back, the curved saber slashes, but missing his neck by just an inch.
In that moment, the warrior holding the saber widened his eyes. He never expected Ota to dodge his attack. But just before he could retract back his hand. Ota makes his move
"An opportunity!" This is Ota thought at that moment. Maybe from the beginning this was his plan.
To draw him in and then took the opportunity when there is space open from the attack.
