Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2020

With the Dirgeblade in hand, Maurice's aura surged again. His first slash ripped the air, carving a deadly arc toward Andrew.

Andrew slid to the side, dodging the vicious blow, but Maurice's second strike slammed down so hard it left a half-meter groove in the ground behind him.

"Brat, killing you is effortless!" Maurice roared, confidence rushing back as his voice boomed like thunder.

The three Driscoll family elders stood nearby, ready to support, their hearts finally easing as they nodded with relief. If their patriarch remained unshaken, then the Driscoll family would never fall.

Mia also exhaled in relief. If Maurice killed Andrew, not only would it avenge Franklin, but it would also bury every secret about Joe. Whatever consequences Andrew's death brought, Maurice and the Driscoll family would bear them, not her and Joe.

Her calculations seemed flawless, but the result was something Mia could never have imagined in her wildest dreams.

"Your blade work is decent, but that's all it is," Andrew said after dodging another of Maurice's violent slashes, no longer retreating.

He added, "Against absolute strength, Maurice, everything you do is useless. Now I'll show you that the Driscoll family picked the wrong enemy from the very start!"

Then, he raised his arm, which was glowing with a metallic sheen. With a deafening clang, Maurice's blade was stopped cold. The strike that could have split a truck in half had been caught by Andrew's bare hand.

"He's unbreakable... His external martial arts have reached perfection, trained to the peak of this world!"

Even while fighting, Eric kept watching the battle between Andrew and Maurice. His heart lurched violently at this moment. As far as he knew, even Jerome's external martial arts had not reached Andrew's level.

Andrew was simply terrifying.

"H-How is this possible?" Maurice was equally shocked.
