CHAPTER 1040
A huge metal sword wreathed with lightning from top to bottom was directly in front of Grey, inches away from his abdomen and ready to tear a gaping hole through it.
With inhumane agility, the warrior-mage leaped to the side, but even with that, the sword tore through his flank, drawing a deep gash that caused crimson droplets to burst out.
The weapon continued onward until it obliterated the ground where it struck, turning the whole area into a pile of rubble almost immediately.
"Hm. You escaped."
The voice came from his side.
However, Grey didn't even acknowledge the words as he held his bleeding flank with a dark, pained grimace.
'That attack… it was powerful enough to shred through my ki defense? How?'
The reason why he hadn't even acted like he heard the voice beside him was that he knew what it was.
A feint.
