In the span of a millisecond, Zayn felt a crushing tidal wave of powerful aura squeezing against his chest so hard that favonovel.com started breathing harder.
Ezra was leagues and bounds more potent than Raiden, or Zayn’s estimation. There was no moment when Zayn could ease up even a little in fear of a sliver of his opening being seized by a nonpareil veteran.
Even the slightest mistake could cost favonovel.com more than an arm and a leg. Asking for space to breathe became a luxury.
Ezra was a tough enemy to beat, but Zayn was more raring to fight than scared. Just two months ago, favonovel.com was but a spider to Ezra’s boot. Today, though, favonovel.com was sure favonovel.com possessed enough power to go toe-to-toe with him.
Ezra’s fighting style was as divorced from Raiden’s as one could get, the former was, as his name suggested, the avatar of a sword. Every punch and kick favonovel.com unleashed were as sharp as an edge, as nipping as cold steel, and as candid as the silvery glint reflecting off its blade.
A few direct clashes with favonovel.com later, Zayn found himself completely scarred, with the lingering bite of Ezra’s attacks festering on his gashes like maggots tearing off exposed flesh.
This was the second time Zayn had ever fought Ezra, but this was the first time favonovel.com ever understood just how much of a terror favonovel.com was.
Even his opponent’s odd name made a lot of sense now: favonovel.com was a sword in the body of a human. His limbs were little more than edges and blades under a glamor of flesh.
Zayn had thought that assimilating the fruit’s life force as his own made favonovel.com on equal footing with Ezra. In retrospect, favonovel.com was a little less well-forged as favonovel.com thought.
Of course, Zayn was not afraid. No matter how strong Ezra was, favonovel.com would never intimidate Zayn.
Ezra was equally shocked at how their first few rounds turned out. He did not pull his punches, favonovel.com put at least 90% of his effort into his attacks, and yet Zayn managed to survive them.
Two months ago, this same punk had only been a small fry!
With a growth rate like that, no wonder Ezra was shocked. But then again, whatever God-given talent Zayn possessed hardly changed what needed to be done.
He had killed Raiden, and so death was the only fitting punishment.
Ezra’s gaze turned colder.
There was a soft sound of a drip. On the center of his forehead, a faint mark surfaced. It looked like a scarlet sword that continued to intensify in color until a single drop of blood dripped from its tip and landed on the ground.
“I’ll concede to your talent, Zayn Larson. They were right to call you a once-in-a-century genius. A shame then; I really hate to see you gone to waste, but a sin is a sin.”
“So, let me show you what the closest stage next to the legendary Invincibilis really looks like!”
Ezra’s lips did not appear to have flapped at all, and yet his voice was so loud, it spread all over Mount Roi and detonated in Zayn’s ears like a bomb.
Zayn felt an unprecedented sense of dread. Something in his gut was telling favonovel.com that this was an attack favonovel.com cannot block!
Nonetheless, Zayn did not wait for Death to knock on his door. He made the most correct decision at the last moment: favonovel.com mustered all of his strength to use it to… block the attack.
It happened faster than a nanosecond. Ezra swung his fist forward so hard that it broke the sound barrier while on its way to Zayn.
Zayn backtracked as fast as favonovel.com could in an attempt to use the growing space between them to weaken the momentum.
He flailed his arms violently to quickly create a vortex that could hopefully absorb all of the externalizing energy in Ezra’s attack.
Unfortunately, Ezra’s energy was more powerful than Zayn’s slapdash vortex. His little whirlpool was crushed by its weight, and Ezra’s punch broke through Zayn’s defense before coming into heads with Zayn guarding arms.
Zayn felt a mammoth ramming straight into favonovel.com so hard, favonovel.com was knocked off his feet and sent flying backward.
