Chapter 23: Fierce battle
Just a few seconds after Mr. Luis spoke, Garrick darted swiftly towards Nalira. With no hesitation at all, the burly man swung his huge axe at Nalira and tried to injure her.
"Cling!"
Nalira blocked Garrick’s attack with her knife. She then counterattacked Garrick, but he didn’t seem to be an easy man to defeat. His hands swiftly deflected all the counterattacks Nalira launched at him.
"Interesting. You can withstand my attacks with ease," Garrick grinned. "However, I will prove that this time you will not be able to withstand it."
Instantly, Garrick’s mana energy wrapped around the surface of his axe perfectly, and he immediately attacked Nalira. She tried to block the attack, but sadly, Garrick’s attack was now much stronger than before, making it difficult for her to attack him.
’Brak!’
Garrick’s axe strike landed with such force that it cracked the floor wide open, plunging the entire room into stunned silence. Shaan, who had witnessed it all, could do nothing but swallow hard. Fortunately, Nalira managed to dodge Garrick’s terrifying attack in time. He couldn’t even begin to imagine what would’ve happened if that blow had landed.
"Hey, hey, what’s the matter, little princess? Are you starting to get scared of my power?" Garrick mocked with a cruel laugh, watching as Nalira continued to evade his strikes.
’Damn it. What now? Can Nalira even win against this guy? Shaan frowned, tension written all over his face.
But Nalira paid no attention to Garrick’s taunts. She kept dodging every blow he threw at her, refusing to strike back. Her silence only fueled Garrick’s rage, and with a snarl, he launched into a more savage flurry of attacks, swinging at her with brutal force.
