Sarka's gaze was particularly intense. If she had her way, she would have leaped over the balcony and attacked Adam. She knew he wouldn't back down from this fight. She could see it in his eyes.
But she wasn't crazy enough to go against Kaerno's will. He had already chosen an opponent for Adam.
"Come on, show me what you're capable of, human…" Sarka licked her lips, looking at Adam as if he were a delicacy.
Only a few seconds had passed, but for Adam, that was more than enough to come to his senses and realize he had to stop his fall.
