Chapter 225: Rune of Mortal Severance
Massive impacts echoed from outside the chapel, and Katarina waited with her hand held in front of her as the impacts grew louder and closer! A force slammed into the chapel door and made the room tremble, and Katarina knew without a doubt that the King had reached her dwelling place. An even greater force slammed into the door a second time, and this time it tore the door off its hinges and sent it flying towards them! One of the nuns immediately went in front of Katarina and diverted the flying door to the side to make sure it didn’t hit her. Meanwhile, Katarina simply stared at her visitor.
Jason was standing at the chapel entrance with his hands in his coat pockets. There was an empty look in his red eyes that sent a shiver down Katarina’s spine the second it was directed at her, and at that moment, Katarina knew with certainty that this man was the King.
’I’m not going to live through this.’
Katarina didn’t even know where this thought came from. It was like an instinctual declaration that ran through the head of every species the moment they faced off against an opponent far stronger than they were! Life was not a movie, and reality was too cruel for anyone to think that it worked in their favor! It was the same way a cornered deer would stand no chance against a Lion! The moment you faced an opponent that far surpassed your power, and you had no plan other than to fight back in desperation, there was no doubt that you were not going to live to see the next day!
The nuns charged forward immediately they saw Jason, and Katarina closed her eyes and turned away from the sight so she wouldn’t see what was about to happen. Jason put his hand to the side and summoned one of the Dragonsteel swords he had retrieved from the Phantom base! The first nun to reach him had a long spear in her hand that she thrust forward with a shout, but Jason easily sidestepped the attack and slashed his hand across her midsection! The sword easily passed straight through her body, and before she even knew what was happening, her top half was falling away from her bottom half!
Jason started to walk into the chapel with calm strides! The second nun held twin daggers and tried to perform a sweep attack that would take Jason off his feet, but Jason simply stood his ground and allowed her attack to land.
BAM!
The nun’s eyes widened in shock when her leg slammed against Jason’s own, and there was no reaction at all! It felt like she had just kicked a tree! Jason twisted his sword into a reverse grip and brought it down on the nun’s neck in one smooth movement that didn’t allow her to retaliate!
"Grk...!"
The third and fourth nuns attacked simultaneously from opposite sides! One of them had a fire-based Gift that she used to shoot flaming arrows at Jason, and the second one was a brawler who wore gauntlets on her hands and prepared to pummel Jason!
