Chapter 29: Fear of a bunch
Jayhan took slow, deliberate steps forward, his gaze following Eric like prey.
At first, it seemed as if he was afraid of Jayhan, but then, all of a sudden, he stood his ground, eyes carrying a faint glow.
It would seem he had noticed his backup was busy handling the girls; he had no choice but to rely on his own abilities.
[The character Eric has activated his divine blessing.]
Jayhan did not seem bothered by it. In fact, it was only after the notifications played that he charged forward.
In an instant, Jayhan closed the gap, appearing beside Eric with blinding speed.
Crack!
His fist connected with Eric's face, the impact unleashing a thunderous boom that reverberated through the air, a strike powerful enough to shatter bone.
But in the same moment, a sickening tear followed.
As Jayhan's punch landed, razor-sharp spikes erupted from Eric's body in a defensive reflex, piercing Jayhan's fist and shredding muscle and bone in a gruesome spray.
Taking a step back, Jayhan grunted a bit, a calm look on his face as he stared at his damaged hand.
