In that crucial moment, Gideon sensed an extraordinarily swift and powerful force hurtling straight towards him,
realizing that Nirina hadn’t unleashed just two strikes, but three!
And this third strike was aimed directly at him!
Panicked, Gideon hastily retreated while channeling aura to his arms, bracing himself to withstand the impending
impact. He had assumed that his own strength would suffice to withstand an opponent’s attack. However, as he
positioned his arms to meet the soul-piercing blade, he realized he had gravely underestimated both Nirina’s
strength and the might of his magical weapon.
With a resounding bang, the tremendous force crashed into his arms. The sensation resembled being struck by a
heavily loaded train hurtling at lightning speed!
The aura amassed on Gideon’s arms was almost instantly crushed under this overwhelming force. His arms
throbbed with searing pain, as if they were on the verge of breaking. But the ordeal was far from over. The sheer
impact sent Gideon stumbling back tens of meters, struggling to regain his balance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as Gideon managed to steady himself, he spewed a mouthful of blood in the very next second. His arms had
lost nearly all sensation, and his chest felt as though it had been shattered, inflicted with numerous internal injuries.
Yet, little did Gideon realize that while he barely managed to maintain his stance, Morten, with astonishing speed,
swiftly closed in on him!
Gideon was taken aback, preparing to muster all his strength to resist, but before he could react, he felt Nirina
swiftly flick his arm towards him. In a sudden turn of events, a resounding slap landed on his face!
In truth, as Nirina charged towards him, he could have directly targeted Gideon’s face with the soul- piercing blade.
If he couldn’t defend against it, his life might have been severed. Even if he managed to ward it off, he could have
suffered severe injuries.
However, Nirina chose to forgo this prime opportunity to harm Gideon.
He did not desire Gideon’s life just yet—for one, he still needed to extract vital information from him, and secondly,
he did not wish for Gideon to meet such an easy demise.
Unexpectedly, Gideon, in that moment, could never have anticipated that as Nirina closed in on him, he would
abruptly change his tactics. Instead of resorting to spells or magical tools, Nirina delivered a resounding slap to his
face!
What made it even more impactful was that Nirina employed every ounce of his strength in that slap. It possessed
an overwhelming aura, propelling Gideon to be suspended in the air, being slapped thrice before crashing heavily
onto the ground!
Gideon emitted a pained cry, forcing himself to shield his face as he struggled to rise. Fury consumed him, an
emotion he had rarely experienced in the past century. Being slapped in the face by someone else proved more
discomforting to him than if he were to be killed! Gritting his teeth, he pointed at Morten, coughing up blood, and
inquired, “You…cough cough…you’re merely in your twenties, how… how could you possess such strength?!”
Gripping the Thunderbolt Wood tightly, Gideon channeled an intense surge of reiki into it, aiming to deliver a fatal
blow to Edgar.
In terms of sheer power, the Thunder Strike Wood’s ability to summon sky thunder far surpassed the wooden sword
bestowed upon him by the hero.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite Gideon’s repeated attempts to attack Nirina with the wooden sword, he believed that the opponent could
likely sense the impending strike. This rendered the attack ineffective in delivering a sudden, devastating blow.
However, the thunder summoned by the Thunderbolt Wood was different. When the thunder struck, it would
descend without granting the other party a moment to react. If he managed to strike Nirina with a bolt of thunder,
even if it didn’t kill him, it would leave him with only half his life remaining.
Nirina had long observed Gideon’s subtle tactics. Yet, at this moment, he purposely feigned ignorance and replied
sarcastically, “To be honest, despite being twenty-eight years old, I’ve only had less than two years to practice
reiki.”
Taken aback, Gideon blurted out, “What?! Less than two years?!”
Nirina smiled and retorted, “That’s correct. How many years have you been practicing, I wonder?”
Gritting his teeth, Gideon responded, “I’ve been practicing martial arts for over a hundred years, young man! You
must be harboring a great secret within you. Hand it over obediently, and I may spare you. Otherwise…”
Nirina interrupted, “Otherwise, what? You’ll strike me down with lightning?”
Gideon sneered, believing that the formation within the Thunder Strike Wood had been fully activated. He raised his
head and bellowed, “Boy! Your guess was right! Lightning– Strike!!!”
