Flying through the kitchen door, Alcott flashed through the hallways like a hurricane, causing more work to the maids than if a storm broke inside. The nebulous magic strings left by the two drakainas fluttered in front of his eyes as he chased them, trying his best to make sure they never escaped his vision.
It was then that something happened. A massive, green talon flew out of one of the doors in the hallway. The sharp claws headed straight for Alcott's eyes, dripping with enough poison to kill a hundred titans.
Alcott didn't slow down, even if the claws were already just an inch away from his wide-open eyes.
Green scales and deadly poison, Claug. Alcott had been here for just a fraction of a second, so she must be reacting on instinct, thinking that he was an intruder moving at such a speed through the castle.
Claug's attack was, and it was already close. Nothing matched a deadly dose of poison straight to the brain through the eyes.
