Daniel's eyes widened with sheer horror as his back felt a chilling sensation, making him shiver involuntarily.
His mind raced as he faced death, hastily activating a protective artefact, the ring in his right hand, by infusing it with mana.
Boom!
The force of Aur's strike sent Daniel hurtling through the wall, the structure collapsing around him as he was propelled outside.
"Oh?" Aur raised an eyebrow, his expression tinged with amusement. "He was able to partially nullify my punch?"
In the blink of an eye, Aur vanished from his original position, as if he had been a mere illusion all along.
Daniel's condition was dire, with fractured leg bones, shattered vertebrae, and a disfigured head. Despite his injuries, he summoned the last shreds of his willpower and magic to support himself as he stumbled away.
"Whut tpe o monster is hat dfreak!" (What type of a monster is that freak?)
