"Xiao Si, you..."
Xiang An's Noble Phantasm struck Tiamat squarely in the forehead, its effect being what was known as—"Punishment."
Through Punishment, Xiang An temporarily stripped Tiamat of all the mana and abilities she had obtained from Abzu, while also leaving her rigid for an instant.
Fujimaru Ritsuka seized that opportunity and drove the dagger Gilgamesh had given him into Tiamat's forehead.
