The Dark Zephyr incurred damage!
His Saint Kingdom, his azure energy shield and his resonance-empowered archemetal exterior failed to resist the unnaturally effective penetration of the thrown Saint Piercer.
Fortunately, the ace light skirmisher still managed to move aside just enough to incur a relatively small cut to the side of his torso, but the outcome could have been worse.
That did not change the fact that the Arena Lord managed to score 'first blood'!
Tusa and his battle partner did not take this setback well. They may have been fighting against worse odds, but they placed so much faith in their evasion ability that they took this incident as a major failing!
The damage to the Dark Zephyr was slight, but the minute drop in performance created a much stronger sense of urgency in Tusa.
If the Arena Lord was able to strike at his ace mech with the Saint Piercer once, then the powerful alien could do so again!
