Astraeus was only briefly distracted, but the next moment, William's silhouette obstructed his view.
With a crisp sound of metal breaking, Ares vanished from his previous spot, now holding a pitch-black broken sword in his hand...
It was actually William who had effortlessly caught Ares' sword and snapped it in two.
Half of the sword blade was embedded in the ground, while William still faced off against Ares.
Astraeus had retreated to one side, witnessing Ares with one eye pitch black and the other blood red, his face contorted in rage, his body radiating murderous intent, and the soul energy on the broken sword in his hand wildly unstable.
Clearly, Ares was in a complete frenzy.
"William? You made me wait for thousands of years, I will kill you!" Ares shouted William's name, attempting to pull the broken sword from William's grasp.
However, the sword remained firmly in William's hand, immovable even with Ares' full strength.
