MTLNOVEL Chapter 176
The man from the secret force and Noah frowned deeply, their expressions darkening with a mix of confusion and growing unease. Ethan's calm demeanor and cryptic words had thrown them off balance, and they could feel the shift in the power dynamics between them.
However Without warning, the man from the secret force lunged at Ethan, his movements a blur of speed and precision.
Ethan, however, remained perfectly still, his eyes tracking the man's every move.
As the man closed in, Ethan could sense the raw power emanating from his attacker, a strength that far surpassed that of Raymond and Giovanni combined.
For a moment, Ethan's mind flashed back to his previous encounters with Raymond and Giovanni.
In his earlier state, he knew that this man from the secret force would have posed a significant challenge, perhaps even defeat immediately.
But it seems like a child play.
immediately the man from the secret force unleashed a flurry of strikes, Ethan moved with a fluid grace, his hands and arms shifting effortlessly to block each incoming blow.
To an outsider, it would have appeared as though Ethan was merely toying with his attacker, his movements so casual and precise that it seemed he was expending no effect all
The man from the secret force, however, was growing increasingly frustrated and perplexed.
Each strike he threw was met with an impenetrable defense, his fists and feet colliding with Ethan's unyielding limbs.
He had never encountered an opponent who could so easily thwart his attacks, At that moment the realization began to dawn on him that he might have grossly underestimated Ethan's abilities.
Noah watched the exchange with mounting anger and disbelief. In his mind, his family the secret force was supposed to be the best of the best, a man capable of bringing even the most formidable adversary to their knees. Yet, as he observed the fight, it appeared to him that the man was simply playing with Ethan, drawing out the confrontation for his own amusement.
"What are you doing?"
Noah roared, his voice cutting through the air like a whip.
"Stop messing around and finish him already!"
At that moment Noah's fury only intensified as he watched the man's apparent lack of progress.
His face reddened, and his fists clenched at his sides as he bellowed at the man demanding that he end the fight once and for all.
The assassin launched his attack, words of power tearing from his lips as he unleashed his ultimate technique. The air itself seemed to ripple with deadly force.
Ethan staggered backward for the first time, his feet leaving marks on the ground as he slid several feet. The impact was significant, but nowhere near what the assassin had expected.
"Impossible"
the assassin thought, his eyes widening behind his mask. His ultimate attack, one that had ended countless targets, had merely pushed Ethan back. No blood, no critical damage - the young man wasn't even seriously injured.
From his hidden vantage point, Noah watched with growing excitement. His face lit up with malicious glee as he saw Ethan finally forced to give ground.
"Yes!"
he whispered eagerly, his hands clenching into fists.
"He's taking it seriously now!"
But Noah's enthusiasm wavered slightly as he noticed what the assassin had - Ethan was far more durable than anyone had anticipated.
The assassin from the secret force stood panting, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Ethan. Despite landing his ultimate attack, a move that had felled countless opponents in the past, Ethan remained standing, seemingly unfazed by the powerful blow.
"Who the hell are you?" Discover hidden tales at empire
the man demanded, his voice tinged with frustration.
Ethan, meanwhile, was lost in thought, analyzing the impact of the punch he had just endured. He marveled at how much his strength had grown, allowing him to withstand such a formidable attack without suffering critical damage. It was a testament to how far his body had evolved, and the realization filled him with a quiet sense of joy and purpose.
As he stood there, contemplating the extent of his newfound abilities, Ethan knew that the time had come to end this confrontation once and for all.
He had caught a glimpse of his true potential, and now, he was ready to unleash it upon his enemies.
With a calm, deliberate motion, Ethan reached behind his back and withdrew the King Cobra Staff, As he held the staff aloft, the assassins let out a gasp of recognition.
At that moment he couldn't move a muscle, his eyes locked on the King Cobra Staff in Ethan's hands. The sight of the legendary weapon sent a chill down his spine, and he felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"That's impossible,"
he whispered, his voice trembling. "No one has been able to wield the power of the King Cobra Staff for decades. It's said to be dormant, waiting for a worthy master to awaken its true potential."
But even as the words left his lips, the assassin at that moment knew Ethan was no ordinary opponent. The ease with which he had deflected his attacks, the calm confidence that radiated from his very being - it all pointed to a power far greater than anything he had ever encountered.
Ethan, for his part, seemed unfazed by the man's shocked reaction.
He gripped the staff tightly, his eyes narrowing with concentration as he focused his energy on the ancient weapon.
Suddenly, the air around them began to crackle with a strange, palpable energy.
The ground beneath their feet trembled, and the walls of the building seemed to vibrate with an unseen force.
The assassin stumbled back, his eyes wide with disbelief as he watched the impossible unfold before him.
A brilliant aura burst forth from the King Cobra Staff, enveloping Ethan in a shimmering cocoon of light. The power that emanated from him was unlike anything the man had ever felt before - a raw, primal energy that seemed to draw strength from the very fabric of the universe itself.
As the aura intensified, and immediately the assassin fell to the ground.
