Elliot and Jenna exchanged glances. Having traveled together for several days and faced death together several times, they had somehow become incredibly skilled at communicating with gestures, which gave them a certain advantage in a fight where both would be involved.
Thus, they both knew the moment when he was going to ring the bell.
And after three breaths, with both of them preparing themselves close to each other and looking at the Nurotaur, the bell rang and immediately disappeared from Elliot's hand, as he had put it away.
He immediately got into a fighting stance, but as he looked ahead and tried not to lose sight of the Nurotaur, his body felt a strange breeze.
He turned around and saw that a human head, but strangely hairy, was behind Jenna, touching her shoulder.
'So fast? I didn't even see it move,' he thought, and looked back in front of him. There was the Nurotaur, still there.
