章 264: To the Imperial Castle

Instantly, he dashed forward with such explosive speed that he generated a deafening sonic boom, the shockwave rippling across the battlefield. Jerom barely had time to react, his eyes widening in shock as he hurriedly cast a defensive spell.

The full momentum of his sprint propelled his palms forward, smashing into the Holy Guard with terrifying force.
