As Sianna's sword came down aimed right at Jax's neck to split it apart, Jax rolled in his unconscious sleep. Fully countered the attack without waking up. The blade went past his neck and split the flesh of the beast beneath him instead.
Sianna clicked her tongue and went in again for a final blow But same result followed as he rolled the other way like a man having a pleasant dream about dodging responsibilities.
Frustrated and in pain, Sianna couldn't hold it anymore. She dropped the sword and started gathering her mana. If the blade wouldn't work, magic would.
Meanwhile inside Jax's soul, Echidna didn't know what to do about this suicidal sleeper. She was trying to wake him up from inside but he wasn't even flinching. And that was all she could do to protect him because she couldn't use her own powers in this state.
So she sighed. 'You brought this on yourself. Now pay for it.'
Then she realized something. 'Wait. Mother would go mad if he dies.'
