The king in the shadows, after recovering from Rain's invisible blow, found himself completely astonished. The sudden attack had caught him off guard, leaving him bewildered as to what had hit him. Very wary now, he raised his guard and summoned two short swords made of shadows, preparing to face Rain's next move.
However, before the king could fully brace himself, Rain attacked again. Another unknown blue hit the middle of the king's face with force. The impact was enough to break the king's nose, and for a moment, his vision blurred. Yet, he managed to keep his stance and didn't fall.
When the king opened his eyes, he was met with Rain's smirk, a subtle yet unmistakable sign that Rain had successfully landed a hit… that annoyed him… Rain's expression was even more annoying because he was trying hard not to let his focus wane, but the wild thoughts in his head made things difficult.
