Shhh!
Raphael's attack sliced through the air with terrifying speed, screaming a sharp, ear-splitting noise.
In the blink of an eye, those ten pitch-black fingernails, radiating a bone-chilling cold, zoomed to just behind Aiden.
At this sight, Victor and the others instantly went pale.
The contestants from The Amaranth Country instinctively turned to look, while Nellie and Jenna immediately leaped into the air, leaving their spots to help Aiden block the attack.
But those black fingernails were too fast. Before Nellie's Radiant Thorns whip could even react, Raphael's strike was about to hit Aiden!
BOOM!
At that exact moment, the fire within the Blackfire Cloak on Aiden's back moved at an unimaginable speed, forming an incredibly solid barrier that blocked Raphael's attack dead in its tracks.
