Hake took a step forward and stood in front of Liliya, his two black daggers crisscrossing in his hands, clashing with the colossal claws of the Fire Feathered Phoenix Eagle.
"Boom!"
Hake's defense lasted only a moment before he coughed up blood and was flung away.
Even with his abilities pushed to the limit, he only had the combat power of the Seventh Tier, significantly less than that of the Eighth Tier Fire Feathered Phoenix Eagle.
After all, Hake was an assassin, not the head-on charge type like Guding and Berg; his front-facing combat abilities were inherently weaker. Going head-to-head with a Demon Beast stronger than himself, he lost all his advantages in combat with just one hit and was already injured.
The Fire Feathered Phoenix Eagle did not cease its attack after its initial failure; with a beat of its wings, countless tiny hurricanes swept towards Liliya.
