David's heart tightened. He truly hadn't expected Cole to suddenly burst forth with such speed.
At Cole's current speed, it was very likely he couldn't dodge this sword strike.
In his haste, there was no time to conjure magic to block it.
David's talent spell was a surface rock layer, but judging by Cole's strike, his rock layer couldn't withstand it.
In a flash, Herag's figure flickered and appeared directly behind Cole.
Herag used Flash to instantly approach Cole.
He reacted quickly; he could have stopped Cole earlier.
But Herag was waiting for the right moment, the moment Cole made his move.
The instant Cole slashed down with his sword was the best time to strike.
Because at that moment, all of Cole's attention was on David, and it would be difficult for him to retract the force of his swing.
Everything happened in an instant, and Herag had to seize that fleeting opportunity.
Otherwise, David would die for nothing, and he would lose his chance to act.
