Inside the House of Cards, while the two Rank 3 undead orcs assaulted Adam—who, in fact, turned out to be an illusion—the real Adam had already appeared behind Malcolm.
The raven-haired youth had a cold look on his face as he drew his staff into position, applied the principles of the Hand of Doom into it, and let out a devastating blow, while at the same time rotating the weapon.
Staff of Doom: One Hit!!
Malcolm had never felt such immense danger to his life before. He knew that this was not something he could evade. Neither was this something he could block.
He gritted his teeth, and at the last moment, he leaned to the side.
The staff that was about to pierce through his chest, now instead impaled his shoulder.
BAM!
The sheer destructive force of the attack was so strong, that Malcolm's shoulder blade was blown to smithereens, viciously severing his arm from his body as if it had been ripped apart by a monster.
