Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3319

A mass of black energy howled in Monty's palm before bursting outward.

"Stormrend Strike!" he roared.

The dark mist twisted in midair, transforming into a massive skeletal hand that slammed down toward Andrew.

At the same time, Julius unleashed his ultimate technique. He retreated and hovered in the air, then spat out a single word, "Destroy!"

This was the Word of Ruin he had cultivated for years. Once before, Andrew had been struck by one of his word techniques, the word "Break."

Invisible rules instantly wrapped around Andrew's entire body. However, he let out a cold snort, and the true force inside him surged out like a tidal wave crashing backward.

In an instant, the invisible rules coiling around him were torn apart like fragile spiderwebs.

Julius grunted in pain, shock filling his face as he jerked his head back and retreated abruptly. The air where he had been floating suddenly exploded without warning.

This was the backlash from his technique. If it could not harm the enemy, it would injure the caster instead.

If Julius had not mastered the Word of Ruin to perfection, that attack would have crippled him.

Meanwhile, the black skeletal hand of smoke crashed down on Andrew. Monty was about to celebrate when he realized Andrew's figure had dissolved into thin air.

In the next second, Andrew appeared at his side.

"Mr. Reyes, you're really weak."

The icy voice, full of contempt, reached Monty's ears. He spun and threw a punch that shattered the air, yet Andrew vanished again.

This time, he appeared above Monty.

Monty tried the same move, preparing another punch. However, Andrew's eyes flashed with cold light.

Inferno Strike descended from the sky, wrapped in roaring flames.

Andrew did not move from his position in midair and casually knocked him back with a single hand.

Julius shouted, "Mr. Reyes, make your move!"

Monty did not need further urging and immediately followed up with another strike. Once again, the Umbral Peak Sect's secret art manifested as a black skeletal hand of smoke that tore toward Andrew.

Andrew threw a straight punch and shattered the smoky hand instantly.

Monty's entire body trembled as he suffered internal injuries from the impact.

"Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!"

Julius' face turned sinister as he unleashed the Word of Ruin four times in a row.

Four invisible killing forces wrapped around Andrew in an instant. Three of them were shattered immediately by Andrew's power. However, the last one exploded with a sharp crack, and the fabric over Andrew's chest was ripped apart.
