CATHERINE'S POV
This was the closest I had ever been to success, and the closest I had ever been to death.
The scene in front of me was like a slow-motion shot. I could clearly see Claus' nails reflecting in an instant.
My gaze and consciousness could hardly keep up with his movements. A series of dull sounds of something stabbing into my body came from my chest, followed by the sound of broken ribs.
Intense pain swept through my whole body in an instant, trembling along every nerve.
At this moment, I seemed to have lost control of my whole body, and I couldn't even take my eyes off King Claus. My hands were trembling and my legs were even trembling.
The fear of death enveloped me, and I couldn't even beg for mercy!
My vocal cords couldn't make any sound at all.
Since I was born in this world, until now, no matter how harsh the training I had experienced or how powerful the opponents I had faced, I have never been as powerless and helpless as I was now.
