471 War of the Wizards (8)

The way Adrianna was attacking him, Ziu had to buy time. He had to make sure that her energy burnt out fast. She was defending herself extremely well and it was impossible to break through cover. So the best approach for him was to tire her. The last attack was deadly. If he hadn't defended himself, the knives would have pierced his neck. He was in excruciating pain when the knives slid into his flesh. He had ducked to protect himself. He took advantage of that position and bumped his head in Adrianna's chest. As soon as she staggered a little, he dashed out towards the entrance of the cave, with his hand bleeding profusely.
