Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2594

Although Sheena was a woman, she was known for her strength and raw power. Among the Lloyd family's twin prodigies, Andrew's martial arts were cunning and unpredictable, while hers were fierce and straightforward.

Ever since they were kids, Sheena mocked Andrew, saying his fighting style was nothing more than flashy tricks.

At that time, Andrew was young and prideful, never one to take insults lightly. He snapped back, calling Sheena a violent brute, rough and unrefined, saying no one would ever like her.

Naturally, that earned him a beating, though not from Sheena, but from his mother.

Back then, the charming Reginald was still a new father. When he saw the scene, he laughed and said, "These two kids each have their own path. But Andrew and I are men, and we only like gentle women. So Sheena, Andrew isn't wrong… Your martial arts are a bit too masculine."

Then, Reginald joined Andrew in getting another beating from Andrew's mother. It was worth mentioning that in Andrew's memory, Reginald could never beat her.

Now, Andrew could not help but feel a mix of admiration and awe. Sheena's martial arts had reached a level of simplicity that hid terrifying mastery. She was as fierce as ever, but her effort and freakish talent were just as real.

To crush Alfredo's sword aura with sheer physical strength was something even a martial emperor would not dare to try. The wise choice would have been to use a weapon or wear armor to fight Alfredo, but Sheena had no interest in either.

The marble floor cracked under her feet, leaving two deep pits. Sweat streamed down her forehead as blood began seeping from the muscles in her thighs and arms. Her meridians were pushed to their limits, unable to withstand the violent energy flowing through them, causing internal bleeding.

Yet, Sheena's face did not change. She looked like a machine, constantly adapting to each new challenge without hesitation.

Luna's expression slowly shifted from shock to something more complex, while Valerie stopped mocking and instead clenched her fists, biting her lip as if deep in thought.

Sheena threw her head back and roared, punching wildly as a faint glow spread from her fists. This time, every sword aura that fell from the sky shattered before it could touch her.

Using that moment, she shot upward, then dove straight down toward the pavilion like a meteor.

Gasps echoed through the crowd as no one had expected Sheena's counterattack to be this fierce. Only Andrew's eyes betrayed a flicker of pain that vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Others could not tell, but he could see clearly that Sheena had gone all out. Alfredo, on the other hand, as he had said earlier, had not even used 1% of his power.

Sure enough, Alfredo snorted and flicked his sleeve toward the outside of the pavilion. Instantly, the heavy roof, easily weighing over a ton, was ripped off and hurled upward. Then, it slammed into the falling Sheena with crushing force.
