Chapter 120 One Slash

The huntress's voice rang through the air, laced with urgency.

"Hey, watch out!"

Nate barely had time to react before he caught the glint of metal rushing toward his throat.

The big man—the same one whose jaw he had shattered, whose arm he had broken, whose body he had slammed into the ground—was now somehow on his feet, wielding a sword and swinging it straight at his neck with murderous intent.

Nate's mind barely had time to process the impossibility of it. Where did he get the sword? How was he even moving? It didn't matter.

His body acted instinctively.

He bent backward, his spine arching at an impossible angle, narrowly dodging the blade by mere inches. He felt the sharp edge slice through the air just above his nose, the rush of wind from its swing brushing his face. The force of the dodge, however, was too much for his balance—he was already falling backward.
