Chapter 257 A Fight To The Death (1/2)

Arran felt a surge of worry as he saw Brightblade sway on her feet She had see with an impossible speed, but now she looked vulnerable Hurt, even

Her opponent wasted no ti a chance, the Elder launched a barrage of attacks — nu that shi+htblade with staggering speed

For a moment, Arran feared that was the end of it The attacks were too many, too fast, too powerful

But just as the first streak of lightning was about to hit, there was a flicker in the air before it The attack was suddenly deflected, sent flying into the distance It crashed into the for a ripple through the air before it dissipated

Another attack came only a fraction of a second later, however She deflected this one as well, but it ca her And even before it crashed into the formation, it was followed by yet another attack

In the space of a few seconds, dozens of attacks rained down on Brightblade, violent bolts of Essence with terrifying power And while Brightblade soed to block the her

The first attacks had been stopped several paces in front of her, but now, they caht continued undimished At this rate, it was a matter of seconds before she would be hit

Arran clenched his jaw as he watched, desperately wishi+ng there was soet past the formation, the power used here was too much for him to make a difference

Soround instead of the formation, and each of those tore a deep scar into the earth, dozens of paces long and several feet deep Even with Arran's resistance to h his body with ease

He nearly screahtblade's opponent stepped up his attacks, with the e of victory There was no chance for her to recover,to defend herself

Then, she was hit

She moved her hand just a second too late, the attack already striking her as a shi+eld formed behind it, too late tofire and lightning struck her body, there was a brief but blindingly bright flash of light, and she staggered backward — hurt, but still alive

Arran felt a surge of relief, but it lasted only a second She had miraculously survived the first attack, but more followed behind it Her opponent had seen his chance, and he had no intention of wasting it

Again she was struck, and again she staggered backward There was no blocking the attacks now — a rain of fire and lightning bore down upon her, driving her back further and further, her movements weaker with every step she took

Suddenly, Arran felt a hand on his shoulder ”There's nothing you can do,” Elder Theron's voice came

Arran blinked as he realized that his hand was on his sword, his body tense as he subconsciouslyhim back Another second, and he would have rushed onto the battlefield

Though he took his hand off his sword, he was unable to relax his body — not with Brightblade on the verge of being defeated

Meanwhile, the barrage of attacks on Brightblade continued unceasingly, the onslaught slowly driving her toward the edge of the formation Arran wanted to screa but stand there as she was battered with fire and lightning

It was no use
