Chapter 253: Start of the Fight
His eyes narrowed.
"…He didn't die."
A slow, twisted smile crept across Ashryn's face.
But—THUD.
A sudden pause.
Another—THUD.
Ashryn's heart skipped.
"What… is this?"
He leapt off the rooftop—
BOOM!
The house beneath him was swallowed instantly by sand, crushed and collapsing with a deafening roar. Walls crumbled. Stone shattered. A cloud of dust exploded into the air.
From within the smoke—
Varo Kuzan stepped forward.
Ashryn smiled, eyes gleaming.
"I didn't expect you to still be alive." His voice was deep, dangerous.
Varo met his gaze, eyes sharp as blades.
"You can't possibly kill me."
Ashryn lunged in an instant, tearing through the air—fists coated in aegis mantra.
"This will be over soon enough."
SWISH!
His punch sliced nothing but air.
Ashryn's eyes widened.
Varo grabbed his arm.
He leaned in and whispered,
"Erosion Touch."
BOOM.
Ashryn's arm crumbled into sand, disintegrating into the wind. Blood sprayed violently as what remained vanished into nothingness.
"Damn you…" Ashryn growled.
"You will pay," Varo replied coldly.
Ashryn retaliated—
But a punch descended from above, slamming him into the ground with a crushing THUD!
Ashryn snarled, eyes burning with fury.
"Orimo Kuzan… I'm going to kill you."
In a blink—
Ashryn appeared right behind Orimo.
"You pathetic loser."
CRASH!
A wall of sand smashed into Ashyrn, sending him flying through multiple houses—THUD! THUD! THUD!
Debris rained. Buildings collapsed.
Varo's eyes ignited with rage.
He screamed—
"You're not fighting one person."
