Chapter 254: Sefira Has Poisoned The Royal Palace (4)
Keter’s Big Bang was the technique that pierced Hyperion’s body, whose flesh was harder than orichalcum. Even though Talon was also a Grandmaster, he was still an ordinary human. No matter how much he trained his body, it could never become harder than steel. However, even if he had no invincible defense, he did have experience.
Talon sacrificed both arms to divert Big Bang’s path in an instant. Had he simply raised his arms, both his arms and torso would have vanished together. But Talon noticed the power of Big Bang and desperately changed its trajectory. As a result, both of his arms were torn off, but he was able to save his life.
The fight should have ended there. With both arms gone, there was no reason to continue the match. But for some reason, both of them wore expressions showing that the battle wasn’t over. In the blink of an eye, Talon’s torn-off arms regenerated at unnatural, extreme speed and attempted to grab Keter’s neck.
Yet, Keter struck both arms away, as if he had expected it. He was aware that the royal guards had transcendental regenerative abilities. He even knew that their secret came from receiving the queen’s blessing. He had fought them in his past life, after all.
Talon was bewildered that his attack was blocked. That was only natural as the transcendent regeneration of the royal guards was a secret which couldn’t have been known without fighting them.
Keter clapped both palms against Talon’s temple. Blood spurted out from Talon’s eyes, nose, and mouth as he collapsed. Judging from how he had instantly regenerated his arms, it wouldn’t have been strange for him to immediately rise again. But strangely enough, Talon lay there with only the whites of his eyes showing, unable to get up.
“S-Sir Talon lost?”
“That’s impossible...!”
“How did he defeat a Grandmaster so easily...? He’s just an archer of Sefira?!”
The knights, who knew Talon’s strength and Sefira’s abilities, reacted in disbelief.
Keter enjoyed their shock for a brief moment and then said, “Stop right there.”
A servant who tried to run off to report the situation froze at Keter’s words. He was certain that moving even slightly would result in death.
