Listening to the uproar in the bar, the warrior named Steven's face turned livid. He grabbed his ax from the table and swung it straight at Ethan's head.
Ethan's audacious action set off a flare of anger in Veronica.
Coming to her senses, she started to feel embarrassed and angry.
Waves of magical power started to surge around her.
Suddenly, countless ice crystals appeared at Ethan's feet and swiftly spread, freezing Ethan's lower half.
"You're done!" Steven roared, his arm muscles swelling up significantly.
With the ax in his hands, he swung it downward at Ethan with such force as if he were to cut Ethan in two.
Releasing Veronica from his embrace and tossing her aside, Ethan drew his longsword from his waist and rushed forward to meet Steven's attack.
With a crisp "clang", Ethan felt like he barely used any strength, yet Steven, along with his ax, was sent flying backward.
