Juno burned all her Bloodline Energy into her Noble Energy, using it to boost only her speed to the maximum. As such, when she suddenly appeared beside Walter - and in the path of the strike - she had very little defensive power left.
Naturally, she bore the full brunt of the strike which caused her to spurt out a mouthful of blood as she fell forward, into the arms of Walter who had a horrified look on his face as he just noticed what occurred.
"Juno!" Both Walter and the Clan Head roared at the same time, grief in their voices.
"You foolish girl, what have you done?! Why would you risk your life for this brat?!" The Clan Head roared with bloodshot eyes.
Walter held Juno carefully and lowered her to the ground to allow her to rest, which allowed the battered woman to gaze at her father.
"Heh, a heartless man like you would never understand what it means to truly love someone… *cough*" Juno answered brutally, smirking a little.
