Too arrogant for his own good

Blood pounded in her ears and her heartbeat was so loud that everything in her head sounded like a torrent of water that brandished at a reef.

Tears continued to trickle down her cheeks as the heavy body of the Elite Shedim crashed on the ground with a thud. The Arcane Kunai shot back to Liam, who had appeared a few meters next to Felicia. He looked coldly over at her, analyzing her wounds before he turned his head away.

"Go over to Rex and Jennie," He added while his eyes moved over to Kian, who had just run the sprint of his life. Kian had killed the other Elite Shedim merely a quarter of a second after Liam's Arcane Kunai pierced through the Elite Shedim's head.

Kian had used his Soultrait to its limit. This consumed a tremendous amount of Arcane Power but it also allowed Kian to cross a distance of over 50 meters in two seconds. That exceeded the limitation of his body by far, yet Kian endured the strain in a desperate attempt to rescue Felicia.
