John felt his body had been completely paralyzed, his fingers unable to move.
In that instant, he could barely even breathe as it became increasingly labored.
He had lost control over his own actions and could still sense the overwhelming aura of his opponent, which meant that the man hadn't been hurt at all.
How could this be?
Why was this happening?
Why was his opponent so powerful?
He had already tried his hardest, but he still couldn't break through the man's defenses.
The most frustrating part was that he had already done everything he could.
Yet, he was still being crushed, his body paralyzed by electricity, leaving him with no ability to resist.
But then, in the next moment, John distinctly felt the hum of his blade.
It was as if it had slashed through something, and after tasting blood, it exuded an intense joy.
At the same time, John noticed that his Blood Shield had been triggered.
