บท 228: Brutal Skirmish

The moment the volley flew into the skies, Asura's body moved faster than his mind. He lunged forward, twisting his hips as lightning began to crackle and arc around his body. He held his sword tight and leaned forward. As the arrow descended towards him, a wild smile stretched on his face.

'Faster!'

'Faster, damn it!' Asura cursed at himself as his body struggled to gather enough power, and his Animus condensed.

"HOLY...!"
