Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2707

Mikayla's expression turned cold as she aimed to kill Koda, yet Eric was far more troublesome to deal with than Koda ever was. She focused her strength and launched a quick attack, but Eric kept retreating with shameless agility, slipping out of reach again and again.

It left Mikayla unable to unleash her full power, and the frustration quickly worked its way into her emotions.

Suddenly, the mental discipline she had been holding onto slipped for a moment, and Eric seized the opening. His Phantom Mirage slammed into her mind like a sharp psychic spike, and Mikayla screamed as terror flashed across her face.

She never expected Eric to attack not only her emotions but also her spirit. His psychic strike was not powerful enough to truly hurt her, but it jolted her mind just enough to make her lose focus.

In a critical fight like this, that brief moment of panic was even deadlier than taking a hit from Koda.

And just as expected, the instant Mikayla's thoughts scattered, Koda's greatsword roared through the air toward her with bone-crushing force.

Mikayla let out a furious shout as her eyes turned vicious, and she raised both hands to block in a frantic weave of defense. Yet because she reacted too late, her strength fell short.

Koda's strike still landed; although she managed to knock the blade slightly off course, the flat of the sword smashed straight into her abdomen. Her slender body flew backward as blood slipped from the corner of her lips.

Mikayla, who had always lived pampered and untouched by pain, let out a choked, agonized groan.

"How dare you hurt Mikayla! Die!" Lorenzo exploded in fury, completely losing control.

Andrew clicked his tongue in irritation. He kicked upward at the greatsword resting on the ground, sending it flipping into the air. Then, he grabbed the hilt as he shot forward. By the time he closed in on Lorenzo, he had already hoisted the massive blade above his head, ready to bring it crashing down.
