Chapter 37: The Strike that ends Everything
Wise watched as the red beam of energy came charging at him. The strike was pulsing as it approached, sparks of red electricity dancing along its edges.
Pulling his fists back, Wise placed his right foot forward and he twisted his body. The fiery shadows on his fists suddenly exploded in intensity, completely engulfing his hand.
And then with a battle cry, Wise struck the beam with an explosive force.
As shadow made contact with destructive energy, the air simmered with intense heat. The beam pushes against Wise’s hand, threatening to overcome him, but he sucked in a breath and applied even more force.
Boom!
The beam of energy suddenly burst, shattering into a thousand shimmering particles, and then capitalising on the opportunity, Mr Anonymous appeared, tearing through the sparks and brandishing his sword with chilling brutality.
Clang!
Wise skidded backward as his fist made contact with the sword, not even wasting a second, he lunged forward, meeting the warrior with an attack of his own.
The two warriors danced in a brutal show of power. The earth where they stood was slowly getting undone as they wielded their abilities to the utmost of their potential.
Although at first they had seemed evenly matched, Wise was quickly beginning to push the abyssal herald back.
Wise veered to the side as the sword cut past him and delivered a punch to the man’s chest plate. His Armour groaned underneath the pressure of the blow just before he was knocked back a few meters.
