The enormous dragon claw hadn't arrived, yet the intense pressure had already caused Raine's breath to halt momentarily, the sharp gusts striking his face like knives.
"Ha!"
But Raine did not retreat. With a fierce roar, his left arm's muscles, steel-like and iron-forged, further swelled as if about to tear through the skin, veins bulging like writhing worms as he wielded the Obsidian Defender, striking forward.
"Boom!!!"
With a sound that was unbelievably muffled!
The brutal strike of the dragon claw was actually blocked head-on by Raine.
Though the War Boots had sunk several inches into the frozen soil, even scraping two-meter-long trenches into the ground, Raine ultimately managed to withstand the blow.
"So strong!"
"Impressive!"
Benest's eyes went wide, his heart filled with shock, yet finally at ease.
He hadn't expected Raine to block that strike, which injected a boost of confidence for him and Meredith.
