In the Sky Martial Court, fighters were allowed to beat the shit out of each other, but only to a point. Crippling or killing someone was off-limits. But Anos's brutal kick? That definitely crossed the line. Samson wasn't just hurt-he was completely wrecked.
The raw power of Anos's purple lightning was insane-even more than he'd expected. Samson had been in the same realm, rocking the same lightning Element, and his martial arts technique had been slightly stronger. On paper, it should've been an even fight. Instead, Samson got annihilated, left looking like a crumpled piece of trash.
"Mia, get over here!" Anos barked, not even sparing Samson a glance.
Mia didn't hesitate. She darted to his side like an obedient little soldier.
With a twisted smirk, Anos shifted his weight, pressing his boot harder into Samson's back.
