Chapter 208: Perhaps you already know?
Damon immediately felt a wave of weakness as both skills drained his health quite a bit. The absence of mana in the surroundings cost him a lot. Then how was the old man able to freely use his skills?
"I assume you can now take care of any stray attacks on the plane?" Artimius smirked at him as his figure flew past him without any restriction. A long silver shimmering sword appeared in his hand as the old man dove straight towards the damned missile!
Damon narrowed his eyes and stared at the unbelievable scene. Though he was now able to use some skills in real life at the cost of his blood energy, he would never underestimate the power of modern weapons. Only a level 100 with complete access to mana might be able to stand against modern weapons in a head-on power collision. Even that was pushing it.
So, how was Artimius so confident? There was no way he would be this reckless just for the sake of someone else. His actions could only mean that he had real confidence. Damon did not understand how. The absence of mana was final. How could one possibly go around it?
Artimius was flying. Effortlessly. The old man surged past him, robes billowing like flags of war, the sword in his hands. With a single motion, Artimius spun midair and dove toward the incoming missile like a falling star.
Damon could only stare in disbelief. "You crazy old man," he muttered under his breath
Far ahead, the missile collided with a flash of silver and was cut, not detonated, not redirected, cut cleanly in half by the gleaming arc of Artimius’ sword. The two pieces spun out of control and exploded harmlessly above the clouds.
And just like that... the sky was calm again.
"Impossible!" Damon muttered as he watched the spectacle. The old man calmly flew towards him as if what he had done just now was no big deal. "There. That’s taken care of now but I suspect more could be on the way. If I were you, I would ground the plane already and face the enemy first. It looks like both of us have nowhere to hide tonight."
