Breakthrough Point

Alvarach remotely detonated the fireballs, disorienting Fredrick and giving him enough time to reach Ezra.

Upon doing so…

"Don't you dare forget about me"

A new entrant arrived.

The booming voice was too familiar to be mistaken.

The Emperor had arrived!

A pole of lightning tore through the air aimed at Alvarach.

This forced him to swerve as he sliced Ezra's arm while passing. 

"Ack!"

Ezra winced, the upper part of his left arm was sliced off, breaking his stance.

Lifting Skyfall with a single hand shifted his center of balance, defending mythical rank attacks with a single arm was too much even for him.

Alvarach knew this too and came right back at Ezra to cut off the left hand, but…

*Kang*

Ezra blocked it.

Alvarach squinted his eyes for the first time in a while.

With one arm, blocking his attack should be impossible for a grandmaster. 

And it was.

Ezra's left arm didn't fall off after being severed, rather, the blood meant to spill out congealed.
