Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2595

Sheena threw a punch in mid-air and shattered the pavilion roof. Just as she prepared to follow through, her eyes caught sight of Alfredo himself. Dressed in white, his clothes billowed as he appeared before her like a ghost, moving with a speed no one could track.

The two were mere inches apart.

Alfredo said flatly, "That's enough. You've already proven yourself. At least you're worthy of making me seriously draw my sword once."

Firefly immediately flared with blinding light, and a piercing shriek tore through the air, sharp enough to make ears ring.

No one saw how he struck; they only saw Sheena spew blood in midair, her body flung backward. Then, she crashed into the marble Oathblade Platform with a deafening impact, carving a deep crater into its surface.

Dust filled the air as silence fell over the crowd.

Valerie's voice trembled as she whispered, "T-This is the power of a martial god? We couldn't even see his blade move. Even my dad or the elders of my family might not be his match."

Luna spoke hoarsely. "It's not just your family. In Chetvine's entire military, I can't think of anyone who could stand against him."

Andrew stood there, staring at the crater where Sheena had fallen, his face pale as chalk. Watching Sheena take such a brutal hit hurt him more than if he had been the one fighting. However, he did not move to help her because the battle was not over yet.

Sheena's pride would never end with just one strike. At least, not on a single sword swing.

When the dust finally settled, Sheena coughed up several mouthfuls of blood but somehow pushed herself to her feet again.
