Thales still remembered his first meeting with the Star Killer.
Six years ago, the prince once saw Nicholas clearly with the Sin of Hell's River. He was a silver-colored figure, emitting a piercing brilliance. His Power of Eradication shone on every inch of the man's body. It constantly affected the man's direction and momentum as he moved, making others unable to determine his movements and actions.
At that time, even if Thales used the Sin of Hell's River and thought hard, even if he calculated the man's speed and direction, he would still discover to his grief that his weak self could not avoid Nicholas' blow, even if the man attacked him without weapons.
But now, after six years...
*Bang!*
When Nicholas' fist instantly landed heavily against the shield Thales held, the prince shook under the loud noise. But he gritted his teeth hard, took a step back, and withstood the blow.
