Chapter 276
Sera hurtled backward, her entire being shaken by the impact.
It didn't feel like she had been struck by a single blade—it felt like a tidal wave had slammed into her, hundreds of unseen hands driving her backward.
The air trembled. The battlefield itself seemed to recoil.
She crashed through the air, the force rippling outward in violent shockwaves.
The ground cracked beneath her when she landed.
For the first time, a sliver of doubt wormed its way into her mind.
Had she… underestimated him?

Oliver didn't hesitate.
His body blurred into motion, light and precise, his steps barely leaving imprints on the broken battlefield.
He had forced Sera back—if only for a moment.
And that was enough.
His espera was nearly depleted—his body felt it, his mind felt it. He couldn't keep this up.
