Aria gritted her teeth in exertion.
The weight of Ren's fist bore down on her completely. She could feel and almost hear her flesh and bones groaning in pain and strain as she endured the attack.
Her mind was also reeling. She couldn't believe this. She knows that this man was strong but not to this extent. Sure, she had seen the video clip of him beating the crap out of Flood Dragon King and the being being afraid of him, but she never bought that. She thought the organizers were just exaggerating.
Now, though? She truly understood.
They weren't exaggerating at all. If anything, that short video clip may have not shown everything that Ren could do.
'No, I can't lose here! ' she exclaimed inwardly.
With a growl, she adjusted the angle of her spear again, allowing her to borrow the sturdiness of the earth to endure the weight of Ren's punch. Then, like a viper poised to strike, she stabbed him with her sword.
Aria saw it clearly in his eyes.
