"Swoosh!"
Dean McKenzie's Bone Fang attack came as a sudden ambush, completely unexpected.
However, it held no advantageous outcome.
"Ding!"
Hayward Xavier, who had been smiling at Dean McKenzie's face the whole time, had never for a moment let his guard down, much less become complacent.
As soon as Dean McKenzie's Bone Fang was on its way, he already flicked it away with the dagger in his hand.
Simultaneously, he quickly gave up on the nearly dead Douglas Murphy, and headed straight for Dean McKenzie!
Dean McKenzie reacted quickly with a "Slow Curse" to halt his opponent, immediately followed by "Bone Resistance".
He used the same move again.
But this time, it didn't have the same effect as before.
The Slow Curse had just taken effect when a blood-red light flared on Xavier's body, nullifying the control.
At the same time, he flashed to avoid Dean McKenzie's Bone Resistance, then aggressively lunged.
"Bone Armor!"
"Full Defense!"
