"Die!"
"!!!" Noel turned around, but he was too late to swing his sword.
He could only raise his left hand, but it was useless against an axe. In addition, the bandit leader had a big muscular body, the power behind it was tremendous even without the Spiritual Energy.
There was only one outcome in this clash. Noel's head getting severed along with his hand.
However, Noel wasn't a normal person either. Right before the axe reached him, he used his Ice Control to form a thick ice to stop this attack.
*Crack!*
In the instant they clashed, Noel felt a force that almost snapped his hand, but he still hang on while glancing at the ice.
The ice thickness was 3 centimeters and the axe managed to crush two thirds of it.
"Kh." Noel's right eye closed as he experienced an intense pain on his hand. His body was pushed back as well, but he stomped the ground to stop the momentum.
