In that very instant, the situation changed abruptly!
A murderous glint flashed in Lelas's eyes. Mustering the last of his strength, his grievously wounded body lunged at Elvin, who was just a step away!
Somehow, he was once again gripping the emerald Elf Short Blade, its tip aimed straight for Elvin's heart!
The move was swift and ruthless. He completely disregarded his own injuries, determined to silence Elvin before he could reveal anything more!
Keynes moved at almost the same instant.
With a flick of his wrist, the Enchanted Longsword flew from his grasp, transforming into a streak of pale gold light. Its target was also the center of Elvin's back!
Their attacks were launched almost simultaneously, perfectly synchronized.
But...
CLINK! CLINK!
Two soft metallic chimes rang out, almost at the same time.
In a flash, a crimson gleam of sword light appeared from thin air, tapping the tip of Lelas's blade and the flat of Keynes's thrown longsword.
