"Kill her? Are you worthy?"
Before the Holy Sword of Zenith could reach Lilith, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon Guren, forcing him to his knees in the sand.
"What!?" Guren gasped, his mind reeling in shock and disbelief.
Before he could recover from his shock, a crushing blow to his stomach sent him flying hundreds of meters.
*Boom!*
Guren's body crashed into a large rock, shattering it upon impact, a testament to the sheer power of the attack he received.
"Cough! Cough!" Blood seeped from the corners of Guren's mouth as he coughed violently.
The searing pain radiated through his back and abdomen, blurring his vision, as though something was pulling his consciousness away.
The holy power within him fought to heal the wounds, but it struggled in vain, as if an equally powerful force was suppressing his holy power.
