Chapter 147: The Wind-like Youth! Sophia’s Arrival! A King’s Reward!

"Look out!" "Get out of the way!" …

Several cries of alarm rang out almost simultaneously.

Donald's face changed, utterly unprepared for the injured man on the ground to suddenly attack him—and using such a bizarre technique at that.

Acting purely on instinct, he dove to the side, narrowly evading the barbed vines that shot past his cheek, leaving a few beads of blood in their wake. It was a close call.

"Boom!" At that instant, a tremendous noise exploded in everyone's ears.

Luca shot forward like a leopard, moving so quickly that no one even registered his actions; all they saw was a dark blur flashing past.

The next moment, the barbed vine stopped mere inches from Donald!

A large hand had gripped the snake-like vine, halting it just before it could pierce his heart!
