Gerard's movements were extremely fast.
So much so that it wasn't until the severed arm had rolled twice on the ground that Ocot regained his senses.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
He desperately clutched his wound, letting out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.
"Gerard! Your Heart Lock has indeed failed, you have now betrayed Lyra…"
He endured the pain, trying to yell at Gerard, but Gerard didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. He pulled out the metal bar and hacked towards Ocot's other arm.
"Clang"!
A crisp sound rang out as Gerard's metal bar collided with a slender mechanical arm, sparking tiny sparks.
Gerard looked up and saw the mechanical arm extending from behind Ocot.
At this moment, Ocot's back was throbbing wildly, as if something was struggling to break free from his body.
Sensing something wrong, Gerard attacked Ocot's head directly, but the suddenly emerging mechanical arm began to block.
Clang, clang, clang!
