It is said that a lion's roar can paralyze humans, though this has never been officially proven.
But what about the roars, screams, and cries of void creatures?
Unholy nightmares that stand above any normal animal.
Azriel certainly felt the Nightstrider Hawk's cry. It rippled through him like a shockwave, threatening to stop him in his tracks.
Almost.
The same couldn't be said for those behind him—including the other void creatures. They, faltered, their movements freezing for a split second.
In a flash, he was in front of the giant bird.
The Nightstrider Hawk right wing slashed downward like a scythe, the edges gleaming with a sickly sheen.
Azriel dropped low, feeling the air split above him. The force of the wing's passing sent a shockwave through the ground. But he was already in motion, Void Eater in his grip.
The blade carved upward, meeting the wing's arc.
