SWOOOOSHH!!
Ash's body blurred sideways, completely evading the strike by a hair's width. The ground behind him exploded from the force.
Krom's face twisted in disbelief. "WHAT—!?"
He can see Ash was just a second-rate martial artist; it was already surprising he fought against his gang's members who reached first-rate, but he was an innate realm martial artist, a completely different level.
He had seen geniuses who, at second rate, could defeat first-rate martial artists, but second-rate martial artists facing against innates is unheard of.
Ash on the other side didn't care about Korm's thoughts; without hesitation, he attacked.
THRUST!!
His spear blurred, aiming for Krom's left side.
But Krom instinctively shifted his axe to block it. "HAA!! NICE TRY, KID—!!"
