The moment Neraxis uttered those words, he turned on his heel and thrust his arm forward.
He pushed the man away, then grabbed the knife off the counter and, in the next instant, threw the knife directly into the man's throat.
Yet despite this quick sequence of events, once the knife reached the man's throat, it bent, then broke off.
What followed was a bout of laughter.
"Pfft... hahaha! What was that? Were you trying to kill me? That might be a bit difficult to do since I'm a C-ranked awakened," the man said with a smirk, then pointed at his friends. "And those two are both D-ranked awakened, so knives and all this stupid stuff won't work on us. Only mana will."
Of course, guns could also work, but Neraxis had no way of disarming the man before he got shot. Therefore, he was not left with many choices here.
But before he could wonder what else to do, the ground slightly shook.
In the next instant, the roof above their heads was split open, and through it came Raguel.
