The sound of knees hitting the earth echoed as the force of the clash sent Ae'ark deep into the ground, his whole body straining and bulging, trying his utmost to hold up Atticus's blade.
However, he wasn't even given a second to comprehend the situation.
Atticus abruptly leaned in, sparks flying where his katana and spear made contact. Once again, their eyes met, intense and unyielding.
Suddenly, Atticus's head shot forward, his forehead striking Ae'ark's head like a wrecking ball slamming into a wall. The sound of bone meeting bone resounded like a thunderclap, shaking the very air.
Ae'ark's head snapped backward from the immense force, his body rocketing backward like a missile. He tore through the debris in the area, obliterating everything in his path.
Then, he crashed through the hill that encompassed the platform they had been on, the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the ground.
