"What?!" Ethan's pupils shrank, his heart nearly stopping.
The energy radiating from that spear was overwhelming—if he took it head-on, it would tear him apart. And with the weapon locked onto him, there was no time to dodge. He had no choice but to meet it headfirst.
He gritted his teeth and summoned every ounce of remaining power, forming a massive Energy Disc in midair and hurling it with all his strength.
The two forces collided with a deafening crack, the impact splitting the sky. The explosion ripped through the air, sending shockwaves in every direction.
For a moment, the clash held—Ethan's Energy Disc managing to stall the spear's advance. But it came at a cost. That single attack had drained nearly everything he had left. Repeating it? Not happening.
Meanwhile, Ardun stood untouched, his energy still flowing like a bottomless well. Without pause, he conjured another spear, its form pulsing with lethal intent.
