Seeing Duanmu Huai willingly charge into the lightning storm, Selica was slightly taken aback. But quickly, they raised their longsword, aiming straight for Duanmu Huai's chest. Plainly, Selica aimed to force Duanmu Huai to retreat with this attack. Yet, this was precisely what Duanmu Huai wanted.
There could be no retreat!
In the face of the oncoming blade, Duanmu Huai not only didn't retreat, he sped up instead. He suddenly dipped, then everyone saw Selica's sword piercing into Duanmu Huai's abdomen, effortlessly penetrating through him, as if slicing through butter!
"Ohhhhh!!!"
Upon witnessing this, the audience immediately erupted in cheers, for this was the first time they'd seen Duanmu Huai actually injured!
"That idiot———!!!"
At the same time, in the stands, Maryrose widened her eyes in surprise at the sight.
"What on earth is he doing!"
"Mr. Duanmu!"
