Usman was proven right as the python started tearing from inside, leaking out green energy.
"Fuck!"
Usman cursed as realization struck him for why the opponent used such a move.
Drifting back, he waved the sword in a circular motion.
The python had shot down at him, and as it ripped apart, it was already above him.
BOOM
The python detonated in a mass of flames and green sword energy intertwined together. It swept through the afterimages, engulfing them while spreading further, destroying the floor.
Usman didn't suffer any damage as by waving his sword, he created a formless barrier around him.
Still, he was regretful of another failed attack and felt he should have chased Zed in the mid-air. He could only blame himself for lack of battle experience.
As the flames and sword energy started vanishing, Usman heard a whistling sound from above, and he titled his head up.
Revenge part starts from Chapter 600.
