"Aitio, although you are indeed Eighth-order, you are still too weak,"
Perlman's voice passed through the energy barrier, sounding like a whisper from a deity.
Before the words were even finished, Perlman raised his staff.
The energy barrier around him suddenly contracted, then flowed towards Aitio at a speed difficult to observe.
Aitio started to weave a crystal ice shield immediately, but its formation was far slower than Perlman's defense and counterattack.
At the critical moment, a pitch-black figure flashed before Aitio.
Nigel crossed his dual swords, a dark red shadow rising from the blades.
He used his own body to block the deadly strike forcefully.
His resistance to psychic power was high; he could almost use sword techniques to control and neutralize it.
Regrettably, even Nigel couldn't completely neutralize that terrible force.
