Chapter 84: If not now, then never

Astral tightly grasped Eren's wrist, exerting immense pressure that nearly crushed it. Despite Eren's attempts to free himself, Astral stubbornly held on, seemingly intent on delivering more punishment.

Xiu Ying had been standing quietly, following Eren's instructions to let him handle the situation. However, when she saw the pain etched on Eren's face, she couldn't restrain herself any longer.

"Release him!" she exclaimed, rushing forward.

Astral sneered, acknowledging her presence. A thin, protective spatial barrier materialized before his eyes, shielding him from Xiu Ying's alluring charm, which posed the greatest threat.

The barrier not only provided protection but also heightened his vision.

With this skill, Astral could utilize space to enhance his sight. Time seemed to slow down as he observed every minute detail unfolding before him.
