Abel thought he got careless when he was trying to decelerate.
Both of the corpsefire's fists were thrown towards Abel's body. Abel raised his shield for defense. Next thing he knew, all he could hear was the loud "clunk" when he took the damage.
All his bones and muscles felt like they were being run over by a car. The shock was so strong that his vital organs were affected. Dark red blood poured out of his mouth. Then, a chilling air entered deep into his body.
Abel's shield had frost all over it. That was a spectral hit, which was a special attack that combined both an ice element attack and a regular physical attack. To neutralize its damage, he had to put his golden combat qi into overdrive to force out the chilled air from his body.
Two seconds was all Abel needed. If the corpse fire waited that long, he would have the time he needed to move his body.
