"Ah, crap. Looks like you were ready, huh?" Logan snorted, frustrated. This wasn't going to be easy.
The unicorn didn't waste time. With a sharp cry, the majestic creature reared up and aimed a powerful mule kick straight at him.
Logan barely had time to react. He snapped up his left arm—and the compact buckler strapped to it pulsed with mana. In an instant, it expanded to triple its size, absorbing the brunt of the unicorn's devastating strike.
He gritted his teeth but didn't just take it. With a burst of light, Logan vanished using Gleamstep—a skill borrowed from Lucent, his tiger. He reappeared at the unicorn's flank and lashed out with Divine Breaker, a multi-hit strike that slammed his limbs into the beast in rapid succession.
Four solid blows—clean, precise.
But he met some unknown resistance as the sound of glass shattering was heard.
A radiant shield shimmered around the unicorn, and every one of his strikes was deflected. Logan's instincts screamed at him.
