Zach had trouble following Mursoth's movements, and his head only started turning a second after the underworlder appeared next to Soara. But Soara was already looking Mursoth in the eyes when he reappeared right beside her. It was like she knew where he was going to show up before he did.
Mursoth was a little surprised to so suddenly lock eyes with Soara since it meant she had anticipated or reacted to his movements. But that didn't stop him from attacking. His arms that had been crossed began moving to unleash a double-layered slash with both daggers by extending them to the sides to create a T with his body.
However, before he could extend his arms so that his blades reached Soara's neck, a silvery shield appeared in front of him, blocking his daggers. He glanced upward and saw an angelic face lit up by a halo glare back at him.
