Bab 395: Cost of Resolved.

'Idiot,' I chuckled to myself, thoroughly entertained by the long-haired leader's shocked expression. 

He genuinely thought I had caught his sword barehanded, but little did he know, I had my own special effects – a mix of telekinesis and an invisible barrier, making my hands immune to physical and elemental attack.

*CLINK!

He attempted to pull his sword away, but I effortlessly kept it in check with just my fingers. 

As I examined it more closely, the energy I felt wasn't coming from the holder but from the sword itself. It was a peculiar sensation, almost like the sword had a life of its own. 

"What is this thing?" I mused aloud as I pulled his sword away from him and then gave him a light kick. 

It wasn't enough to be lethal, just sufficient to send him flying. His comrades quickly jumped in to rescue and caught him mid-air.
