In that critical moment, Leon's heart stopped. He knew that Zanya's body would be torn to pieces if the orc was allowed to reach her. No. He could not allow that happen!
Something pulsated in his eyes, and they turned from red to a bewitching mix of purple scarlet. Then he threw the sword in his hand like a javelin. It flew fast, straight, and true, piercing right through the orc's hand as it was just an inch away from slamming down on Zanya's body.
Leon flashed over there like a shadow and grabbed Zanya's body to remove it from the orc's grasp.
"Go grab that blade!" he yelled at Samuel as he held Zanya's body close as he leapt away, and Samuel nodded at him. As Samuel was fighting the orc, trying to retrieve the sword that had pierced its hand, Reed guarded Kariza.
