Sting.
A slight sting came from above his chest.
The Forbidden Old Man's staff pierced his skin, but perhaps due to the lack of strength in that skinny arm, the stab could go no further.
What the, isn't this totally harmless?
As this thought emerged in Gapar's mind, his arm automatically reacted, slapping the staff away.
His brain was also racing at this moment, generating various ideas for dealing with the Forbidden Old Man, like trying the Highmore Hammer magic since blades couldn't reach him.
All these actions and thoughts were completed in an instant, just as a Magic Wand suddenly appeared in his hand, and the magical outline of the Highmore Hammer emerged on the wand—
"!!!"
An unusual feeling abruptly emanated from his chest.
The muscle memory developed over years of combat allowed him to automatically respond to various attacks without conscious control. He wanted to take action in this split second.
However, his body couldn't move, not even a finger.
