As the eagle-headed beast's massive wings made contact with Lucian's Halberd's blade, he felt a tremor run through his body.
This was the first time he had felt this kind of sensation, causing his brow to rise up in surprise.
"Interesting," Lucian muttered, a glint of excitement in his eyes.
The beast roared, then it pulled back, preparing for another strike. Its wings glowed with a crimson light, spiritual energy condensing around them.
Lucian adjusted his stance, gripping his Halberd tighter.
It attacked again, this time with its sharp beak aimed at Lucian's chest.
Lucian dodged, his body moving swiftly.
The beast's beak missed him by a hair's breadth, leaving a deep gouge in the earth.
'Such power,' Lucian thought, 'if it had been any ordinary cultivator, they would have died already.'
