"What are you looking at?" Percy's cold voice sounded from behind Babble.
What? When did he get behind me?! Babble's eyes widened in shock as she reacted immediately. She placed her foot firmly on the floor and spun on her heel, turning to attack, but she wasn't fast enough.
The moment her head turned, a black blade filled her vision. Babble watched as the blade descended, unable to do anything. But just when it seemed like she might lose her head, a whistling sound echoed through the air.
Clang!
To Blink's shock, Percy parried the attack, casually slapping away the needle-like arrow to the side. The arrow penetrated the floor, piercing through.
Babble wanted to attack, to take advantage of the slight opening, but after seeing how Percy had casually deflected the arrow with his simple black sword, she gave up and immediately retreated.
