Alistair had to focus all his energy on maintaining control over Shiloh's resistance. Meanwhile, Nicholas had already lost the initiative.
Henry's timing for his attack was indeed flawless, but unfortunately for him, he had not realized that someone else was also targeting him.
"Inferno Strike!" Andrew unleashed his fiercest techniques, aiming straight at Henry's unguarded back.
Henry might have reached the blood first, but with his defenses wide open, he had no choice but to take Andrew's palm full on.
The searing heat at his back felt like death itself pressing down.
Henry roared in fury, but he did not dare gamble. He twisted his body midair, planting a foot on the stone platform before launching himself skyward.
He narrowly avoided Andrew's lethal strike.
Of course, as Andrew attacked, he also exposed himself.
Nicholas' sword rang out as he drew it, the blade gleaming. He stood guard in front of the stone platform, eyes cold as he fixed on Andrew.
"Who are you, and how dare you trespass into the sacred grounds of the McDaniel family?"
Andrew had yet to respond when Henry, crouched nearby, snarled through clenched teeth. "Andrew! You again, you damn thief. You've ruined my plans too many times. Tonight, you die here!"
Andrew's face remained expressionless as he stepped forward. By the third step, his aura erupted to its peak. Then, without hesitation, he hurled a fist like a raging tornado straight at Nicholas.
His first priority was to take Shiloh; everything else came after.
"Like an ant trying to topple a tree!" Nicholas snorted coldly and thrust his sword straight out.
Seeing that Andrew was not dodging or avoiding but was actually going head-to-head with his precious sword, Nicholas could not help but rage. "You have a death wish!"
