The modified appendage allowed him to move as if the wound didn't exist, ready to react and strike.
Harold launched himself at Luna without hesitation.
His antennae had detected the shadow wolf's characteristic mana signature, and Harold twisted to dodge the next attack, gaining distance. The metallic floor beneath him hummed as he moved.
Luna had also seen something in the mana surrounding Harold since first spotting him, the abyssal mark was unmistakable to someone who had fought Yino agents before.
She vividly remembered her encounter during the journey with Zhao. It hadn't happened to her that day, and it wouldn't happen today either... she wouldn't make the mistake of letting herself be attacked directly.
