Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1703

Andrew's lightning-fast assault was completely overwhelming for Ezra. His chest took a direct kick, sending his blood churning violently. However, what truly horrified him was how Andrew could possibly hurt him at all.

As a martial king, his body should not be this fragile. Roaring in disbelief, Ezra spun his morning star wildly. His full strength exploded outward, tearing his leather jacket into ribbons.

However, Andrew remained cold and calm, weaving backward with dazzling footwork. No matter how Ezra's morning star advanced, he always managed to dodge safely at the last possible moment.

Ezra suddenly released his weapon with a thunderous shout, sending it flying straight at Andrew's head!

Yet, Andrew did not flinch. He raised his hand and struck the weapon with a thunderclap-like palm strike.

Ezra grinned wickedly and charged. That morning star was covered in hooked spikes, and one direct hit would surely shred Andrew's hand.

To Ezra's shock, Andrew looked completely unfazed. He bent backward, dodging the swing aimed at his face. Then, he slapped the ground with one hand. Using the rebounding force, his body launched upward, and two fingers jabbed precisely into Ezra's armpit.

Indescribable agony shot through his brain instantly, and Ezra felt half his body go numb. At the same time, he could not understand how Andrew's hand was not crippled.

Andrew did not let up. He closed the distance in two quick steps, locked both arms around the back of Ezra's neck, and drove his knee upward with brutal force.

Ezra's nose shattered with a sickening crunch, blood spurting everywhere. The pain triggered something deep in him, unleashing his raw power at last.

He slammed his morning star into the ground twice, carving massive craters into the stone. At the same time, he screamed bloody murder, spitting curses at Andrew as fury consumed him.

Even so, Andrew turned a deaf ear, like a predatory beast, coldly and calmly watching the rampaging Ezra before him. He seized the moment to pounce again, and with two dull thuds, his fists struck squarely against Ezra's weapon.
