Blazing Duel

CLANG!

Isla's eyes went wide with shock.

That wasn't possible.

Alex had reacted like he had seen her attack coming a mile away.

And even crazier, he hadn't dodged.

But rather, he had raised his hand to block it.

Her energy beam should have torn through his arm, cutting straight to the bone.

But instead, it had vanished.

Like it had never even been fired.

Alex slowly lowered his arm, staring at his wrist.

For a brief second, a faint glow flickered—revealing a bracelet—before it dispersed like it wasn't there.

[Anti-Magic Gauntlet]

The gauntlet had an effect that made it invisible to others, and he had been wearing it all along, ever since he first got it.

But until now, he had never actually been pushed hard enough to use it.

His expression darkened as his eyes snapped toward Isla.

The fierce, determined look on her face didn't change.
