The Zerg Hive had not expected that Liora could evade the soul attack and had therefore not prepared any self-defense.
Thankfully for her, a being of her level reacted and acted quickly.
Her head moved to the side, barely dodging the dagger and only allowing it to cut a few strands of her flowing hair.
At the same time, she waved her right hand upwards, placing the outside part of her palm across the dagger's surface and pushing it out of the way.
Holding the dagger, Liora felt its sharp edge cut through her opponent's smooth skin and scrape against the bones hidden beneath it.
Blood splattered, evidence of the fact that the Zerg Hive had been injured.
However, Liora felt no sense of accomplishment.
The attack had ultimately failed, giving the Zerg Hive enough time to step back and open some distance between them.
The Zerg Hive lowered her head and looked at the fresh blood dripping across her bare bones.
