Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2695

Corbin's aura suddenly exploded outward. His clothes rippled as if hit by a shockwave, and a confident, forceful smile spread across his face. "Koda, your time is up. Die!"

Instead of dodging the heavy blade swinging toward him, he threw a punch straight into it mid-air. With a loud pop, Koda's sword slammed into a massive shield of energy.

Koda roared and pressed down with all his strength. The shield burst apart as the blast ripped through the air.

However, Corbin was already leaping high into the air. He spun like a drill as he dropped down on Koda, attacking with all four limbs. Koda blocked again and again with his heavy blade until he finally slipped, his footing breaking under pressure.

In that instant, Corbin kicked him square in the chest. He flipped once in midair and came down with both hands like crashing mountains, slamming Koda's chest again and again.

Koda staggered back repeatedly until he had nowhere left to retreat. Corbin struck him so hard he was thrown through the air, spitting blood as his energy collapsed. He barely stayed upright by leaning on his heavy sword.

"H-How did you suddenly become so strong?" he choked, spitting another mouthful of blood as disbelief filled his eyes.

Corbin clasped one hand behind his back and laughed loudly, drunk on his own triumph. His moment had arrived. "I told you, you're dead for sure today. Koda, fighting me was your first mistake. You're dying anyway, so stop asking questions. I'll give you one last chance; cut your own throat, or I'll do it for you."

Koda forced himself upright and roared, "I'd rather die on my feet than bow down to you."

He raised his heavy blade and swung again, yet Corbin's movements flickered so fast that the strike carved a giant crater in the ground instead. Suddenly, Corbin appeared at his side and struck his temple with a palm.

Koda screamed as his body spun through the air.
