Chapter 77: The Lurking Mantis

The lightning-fast thrust of the Ten Thousand Urgent Fire Finger was too quick!

Nero reacted purely by instinct, throwing a punch to block it.

But he had no confidence in stopping this finger technique, which could pierce through an eighth-grade treasured sword.

Yet, he had no choice but to try.

"Crack!" 

As it turned out, he couldn't block it. Instead, his fist technique, meant to counter the finger strike, was overpowered by it!

This was no ordinary finger technique.

It was the Three Finger!

 Nero felt as though his punch had struck the tip of a sword. Even though he was at the Magus Late-Stage Blood Refining, with bones as tough as iron, his fist was pierced by that finger strike.

A bloody hole opened in his hand, making it look as if his fist had been split in two by a sword, with fragments of bone mixed with blood spraying outward.

"Ah!"
