章節 244: Fragile Bond

The stunned expression on Jake's face was evident as I intensified my grip on the sword, applying more force and causing his stance to waver momentarily.

Seizing the opportunity, Jake managed to deflect my sword, causing mine to swing through the air. Without hesitation, I swiftly grabbed onto his wrist, my left hand closing around his gripping hand. In a fluid motion, I raised my leg and delivered a powerful kick to his shoulders.

A groan escaped Jake's lips as he absorbed the impact, but he managed to maintain his stance. His sword swiftly swung toward me, and I evaded the attack by bending my body backward. Capitalizing on the moment, I seized his outstretched arm and utilized his own momentum to hurl him away from me.
