Chapter 153: The Forbidden Trigger
CRACK!
The sound of shattering bone echoed across the silent plaza.
Tharzek Noctis did not even have time to blink. The sheer kinetic force of Gunther's heavy gauntlet slammed directly into the Dark Priest's face.
The impact sounded like a sledgehammer hitting a dry pumpkin.
The ancient priest flew backward. His feet left the ground entirely.
He skipped across the ruined concrete, his tattered robes dragging through the bloody paste left behind by his destroyed monster horde.
He rolled violently before coming to a complete stop near a shattered barricade.
Gunther did not rush. He did not press the advantage with manic desperation. He rolled his broad shoulders and cracked his knuckles.
He walked forward with a rhythmic, confident swagger. His golden eyes gleamed with undeniable authority.
"That punch wasn't to kill you," Gunther announced loudly, his voice echoing in the dead zone created by the Edict.
