The two dog-slaves growled and pounced upon Emily, who quickly turned on her side, and with one hand clenched her saber and stabbed the dog-slave who was coming at her with the other.
Instead of stabbing the dog-slaves in the body, however, the saber stabbed them in the air.
A tall man in camouflage seemed to drop from the sky, and he landed firmly in front of Emily. The necks of the two dog-slaves were so tightly clasped in the hands of the man that, in less than a few seconds, only the sound of broken bones could be heard echoing through the trees.
The dog-slaves, who had just now been unusually ferocious, lost their voices at once, their legs went perpendicular in mid-air, and their bright red eyes turned a dull red. The moment the man let go, the two dog-slaves fell to the ground like broken kites in mid-air, without a sound.
