The one responsible for the sudden attack on Arthur fixed his gaze on the other three, freezing the teenagers in time with a glance.
Then, turning back to Arthur, he stomped down on his chest with his left foot, cracking ribs and driving shards of bone into his lungs. His right foot followed, smashing Arthur's wrist with a sickening crack as he tried to force him to release Lostvayne.
Still, Arthur held onto Lostvayne with a death grip, refusing to let go.
'I can't let him use that sword's power. Not like what he did on Toverus.'
The man crushing Arthur's wrist knew of his exploits on Toverus, where Lostvayne's power had partially been unleashed against the Angels.
Determined to prevent a repeat of that scene where Transcendents died to a single sword slash, he tried to force the sword from Arthur's hand, destroying every bone and muscle in the process.
But the sword still didn't leave Arthur's hand, as if it refused to be parted from its wielder.
