Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2783

Jerome sighed heavily. "Andy risked his life for Eric, and there's no way I can ever repay that. The only thing I can offer now is to follow him in death!"

He immediately threw himself at Damon, each move a desperate, life-for-a-life strike.

Titus faced Brielle but did not attack. Instead, he spoke quickly. "Brielle, are you really going to overestimate your strength and walk to your doom? You saw it, didn't you? The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince was just easily crushed by Mr. Bowen. What's the point of stubbornly opposing him?"

Brielle replied with bitter resentment. "Titus, today I only seek death."

Titus was furious at her stubbornness. "Brielle!"

At that moment, a pained grunt suddenly echoed across the battlefield. Everyone's nerves were stretched taut, barely daring to breathe, so the sound caught them off guard.

It took the others a half-second too long to react and look toward the source. Then, one by one, they stared in disbelief as if they had seen a ghost.

Julius, a being at the peak of the martial god level, was bleeding from one hand.

Andrew's counterattack had injured him!

The Godslayer, now without its master's control, was stuck into the ground at an angle. From the way it landed, anyone could tell the divine blade had just sliced open Julius' wrist.

It was only a superficial cut, nothing serious. Yet, the vivid streak of crimson blood on Julius' wrist, where he had been gripping Eric, was glaringly obvious.

Even Damon, locked in his deadly struggle with Jerome, forgot to fight in his shock and horror. "Mr. Bowen, you…"

"Madam Baxter, take Eric and go. Now. Don't come back," Andrew said, his command seeming to come out of nowhere.

Brielle was stunned, still not processing his words.

Then, the pendant on Eric's chest suddenly erupted with a violent light. The burst was so sudden that even Julius could not react in time. He was blasted backward, forced to retreat a great distance.

A furious roar erupted from Julius' throat. "Brielle, you treacherous bitch! That life-saving pendant can block a martial god's attack! I was the one who kindly gave it to you, and now you dare use it against me? For this bastard's sake, you disobey me? I'll make sure he is utterly annihilated!"

An even larger mass of dark energy shot from Julius' hand.

The Bloodshadow was the ultimate killing technique of the Heartless Art cultivated by Julius. It could directly burn a warrior's internal energy and meridians before searing into their very spirit, an exceptionally vicious attack.
