Upon seeing what Ethan just did.
The assassin's eyes widened in disbelief, cold sweat breaking across his forehead as ancient symbols began glowing along Ethan's staff. His hands trembled, decades of training forgotten in the face of true power.
'Impossible'
his thoughts raced frantically.
'The Staff of King Cobra? No one has activated it in centuries!'
Power radiated from the artifact in waves, making the very air crackle with energy. The assassin's enhanced senses screamed danger as the staff's serpentine markings seemed to writhe with life, each symbol pulsing with an otherworldly blue glow.
From his hiding spot, Noah watched in horror as pure energy began pouring from the artifact.
