END OF 2ND ROUND

WINGED Tassel was now starting to panic. Because this was what he felt when he purposely let Noctis slash at his arm earlier. It didn't last a second because of the item he had that negated the debuff. But he could still remember that momentary sensation. And now that he's experiencing it again, it could only mean one thing – he was once again hit by those damn daggers!

But how? Could it be that while he attacked Noctis, the other also attacked him? But could he really have that time to do that? Then, he suddenly remembered that moment when the shadow cage suddenly disappeared. He experienced momentary confusion. Could it be possible that in that millisecond, Noctis managed to slash him?

Before his doubts could be answered, he heard footsteps from behind. He wanted to look back. But because the current state of his body, he couldn't. He didn't have to wait long though before he saw the white-haired elf standing before him with that annoyingly sweet smile on his face.
