The SwordSaint still appeared unaware, with his body swaying, seemingly looking light-headed.
However, reflexive reactions still had to take effect once perceived danger.
It was the case when the Light Aether headed to the Sword Saint, who now has an Evil Aether, gaining its traits.
Its nemesis was the Light Aether.
Now that its archenemy was targeting its host, it sent a signal to take defensive measures, not to dodge it.
It was to show dominance against its antagonist.
Hence, The SwordSaint's countenance turned solemn, with his eyebrows constricted to each other.
Subconsciously, he shot a glare at the Light Aether and grasped the hilt of the sword. Same as before, he eventually retracted it.
And at the same time he did… the Light Aether snapped into two, shifting their direction away from each other.
One landed not far from the other Mountain Peak, leaving a broad scar, scorching and tainting the purity.
