The woman looked at Paras with a frown. This is the first time she showed any expression other than contempt and amusement.
"How did you guys do it?"
She asked Paras in a low voice. Even her tone changed; she was clearly shaken.
But Paras is not Saber Monarch, he wouldn't entertain her with words. He lunged forward as he ran towards her with the ax and stopped right in front of her all of a sudden and used the momentum to take a big swing at her.
The ax didn't feel any resistance as it went right through the abdomen and only then did Paras realize that the thing he hit is not the woman, it is another deceptive image that dissolved into thin air.
But Paras didn't stop in confusion, rather he increased the force and continued with the swing as he made a three-sixty degree turn to his rear.
The ax met with the knife that was coming towards him.
