Chapter 689: Volume Nineteen: Lost Horizon - Seventeen: Handshake
As the opponent’s towering sword qi was about to pour down, Komer raised his hand somewhat helplessly to stop the impulsive act, "Miss Katrina, I can reveal my identity to you, but it must be limited to your knowledge alone. Can we call a ceasefire for now, what do you say? I know your martial arts have reached the martial arts realm, but that doesn’t mean you can defeat me."
It seemed that Katrina considered Komer’s proposal and her cool gaze lingered on his face, "Alright, I accept your proposal, but I have one condition. You must take this strike from me!"
"It’s a deal! Then please, Miss Katrina, give it your all!" Komer’s chest swelled with endless pride. From the uncertain gleam at the tip of his opponent’s sword, Komer had already sensed that she had not just recently stepped into the martial arts realm. Even Solonberg and Vladimir Koff would likely have trouble gaining the upper hand against her. If it had been before his ordeal in the Different World, he certainly would not have feared her, but defeating her effortlessly would not be easy. However, for his current self, that was no longer an issue.
Like the Milky Way pouring down, a stream of silver light enveloped the entire hall in an instant. The sweeping silvery-white sword qi was vast and overwhelming, as if it were sweeping everything in space, making it hard to even catch one’s breath. That was when Komer truly understood the tyranny of a real martial powerhouse. It seemed Solonberg and Vladimir Koff had never truly given their all, which had led him to believe that martial arts were nothing but an appendage to magic. He hadn’t expected that merely entering the martial arts stage could display such imposing momentum.
But that did not mean Komer was without recourse, left with no choice but to wait for death!
Putting the Wind and Thunder Magic Harp aside, Komer flicked his fingers and dark red blood sprayed out, instantly forming a purple-black film. The film split into three, then from three into nine, layer upon layer, eventually becoming a solid barrier of countless films shielding Komer.
The indomitable sword qi shot forth, its flickering brilliance puncturing countless layers of film in an instant. The purple-black films kept vaporizing into dense, red smoke that wafted away, the intense, nauseating smell almost splitting one’s head.
Taken aback, Katrina had never expected her impregnable Tianhe Sword Energy to meet such resistance. In her experience, not even an Archmage’s Magic Shield could stand against her earth-splitting power, the ultimate expression of her materialized Fighting Qi, an immovable force beyond human resistance. Yet the scene before her made Katrina truly recognize that among magic practitioners, there were powers capable of contending with her Tianhe Sword Energy.
