The Crimson Monarch's eyes went wide. His serpent's gaze was his unique trump card not related to thunder or blood, it was a sudden attack against which there was no defense.
True, it didn't have the expected effect against Adam. His energy control acted driven by instincts, completely protecting him from weak monsters. However, this was the Crimson Monarch's mistake. If he had attacked Adam immediately with his powerful attack, the victory would have already been his.
But... it didn't affect Katrin for more than a second. Her scythe absorbed the unusual ability onto itself, and its energy ran along the blade accumulating power.
Katrin glanced at the blade, her eyes growing deeper.
"Not sure exactly what's going on here, but..." she turned to the Crimson Monarch, "I'll make you regret your words. You arrogant bastard."
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
