Female Novel
Chapter 5394
In that crucial moment, Gideon sensed an extraordinarily swift and powerful force hurtling straighttowards 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 theimpending impact. He had assumed that his own strength would suffice to withstand an opponent’sattack. However, as he positioned his arms to meet the soul-piercing blade, he realized he had gravelyunderestimated 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 beingstruck by a heavily loaded train hurtling at lightning speed!
The aura amassed on Gideon’s arms was almost instantly crushed under this overwhelming force. Hisarms throbbed with searing pain, as if they were on the verge of breaking. But the ordeal was far fromover. The sheer impact sent Gideon stumbling back tens of meters, struggling to regain his balance.
Just as Gideon managed to steady himself, he spewed a mouthful of blood in the very next second. Hisarms had lost nearly all sensation, and his chest felt as though it had been shattered, inflicted withnumerous internal injuries.
Yet, little did Gideon realize that while he barely managed to maintain his stance, Morten, withastonishing speed, swiftly closed in on him!
Gideon was taken aback, preparing to muster all his strength to resist, but before he could react, he feltNirina swiftly flick his arm towards him. In a sudden turn of events, a resounding slap landed on hisface!
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 toward 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, hewould abruptly change his tactics. Instead of resorting to spells or magical tools, Nirina delivered aresounding slap to his face!
What made it even more impactful was that Nirina employed every ounce of his strength in that slap. Itpossessed an overwhelming aura, propelling Gideon to be suspended in the air, being slapped thricebefore crashing heavily onto the ground!
Gideon emitted a pained cry, forcing himself to shield his face as he struggled to rise. Fury consumedhim, an emotion he had rarely experienced in the past century. Being slapped in the face by someoneelse proved more discomforting to him than if he were to be killed! Gritting his teeth, he pointed atMorten, 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 todeliver a fatal blow to Edgar.
In terms of sheer power, the Thunder Strike Wood’s ability to summon sky thunder far surpassed thewooden sword bestowed upon him by the hero.
Despite Gideon’s repeated attempts to attack Nirina with the wooden sword, he believed that theopponent could likely sense the impending strike. This rendered the attack ineffective in delivering asudden, devastating blow.
However, the thunder summoned by the Thunderbolt Wood was different. When the thunder struck, itwould descend without granting the other party a moment to react. If he managed to strike Nirina with abolt 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 ignoranceand replied sarcastically, “To be honest, despite being twenty-eight years old, I’ve only had less thantwo years to practice reiki.”
Taken aback, Gideon blurted out, “What?! Less than two years?!”novelbin
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, youngman! 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!!!”
