Chapter 204: What Remains in the End (4)
Yeomyeong fixed his gaze on the mace in the Commander’s hand.
A shaft slightly longer than a forearm, a handle, and a blunt iron head at the end.
It looked like a cheap mace meant for training use—but weapons are always judged by the hands that wield them.
As Yeomyeong pondered how to deal with that mace, the Commander who had been charging at him suddenly straightened his back and pulled his shoulders back.
A stance that blatantly telegraphed the attack he was about to make.
In a battle fought at frame-by-frame speed by superhumans, it was the kind of move even a novice wouldn't dare attempt. Was it a mistake brought on by dementia?
No. It wasn’t.
The raised mace turned red, spewing sparks—
“Hup!”
And then it struck the air with full force.
It wasn’t like sword energy—where you simply release mana outward. It was closer to a high-level martial technique or a large-scale spell, akin to a comet strike.
By the time Yeomyeong realized what it was and raised his sword, the mace’s technique had already torn the space apart.
