Chapter 793: 793:Stop Ignoring Me

Garrick’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately took advantage of the opening.He stepped forward and swung his sword with greater force.

BANG!

The blade collided with Ethan’s sword and pushed him backward several meters.

Ethan steadied himself in the air, but Garrick had already followed him.

Another strike came toward him.

Ethan raised his sword and blocked it.

CLANG!

The impact shook his arm.

Garrick did not stop. He continued pressing forward, sending one sword strike after another toward Ethan. Ethan blocked, dodged and redirected the attacks, but his movements were clearly more restrained than before.

Garrick suddenly pushed him back again.

"You are holding back."

Ethan did not answer.

Garrick’s sword came down heavily.

Ethan blocked it above his head, and the force of the attack sent another shockwave toward the city.

Ethan immediately redirected the force upward.

Garrick’s eyes narrowed when he saw it.

He snorted as he pressed forward.

"Pathetic..You dare care about those weaklings when you are facing me."

Ethan’s eyes became cold, but he did not answer.He could hear the screams from the streets below.

He could see people trying to escape.

His grip around his sword tightened, but he continued to control his strength.

Garrick’s sword collided with his again and pushed him farther back.

CLANG!

Garrick followed immediately and forced him to block another attack. His sword moved with great speed, and Ethan was forced to keep defending while making sure the attacks did not fall toward the people below.

Garrick noticed every movement.

A faint coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Since you hold them dear, so well. I will kill them first and wipe them out before you fight me seriously."

Ethan’s expression changed instantly.

His body became completely still for a moment.His grip around the sword tightened until his knuckles turned pale.

The words struck something inside him.

Ethan slowly raised his head.

"YOU DAREEEE"

His roar echoed across the sky.

BOOM!

The restrained aura around Ethan suddenly began to rise.

The air around him trembled, and the clouds nearby were pushed away by the sudden pressure. A powerful force spread from his body as the energy he had been holding back began to surge outward.

Garrick’s expression became serious as he felt the sudden change.

Garrick clenched the hilt of his sword fiercely and gave Ethan a sharp glare.

His gaze then shifted past Ethan toward the people who were still crawling away in fear.

Some of them were injured and struggling to move, while others were desperately trying to pull their families away from the battlefield. The streets were already covered with broken stones and debris, and the people were stumbling over the ruined ground as they tried to escape.

A strange look appeared in Garrick’s eyes.

His figure suddenly moved.

WHOOSH!

Garrick shot forward with incredible speed, leaving several afterimages behind him. His sudden movement caught Ethan off guard for a moment, but Ethan quickly understood where he was heading. The moment he saw Garrick moving toward the fleeing people, his expression changed.

"Nooooo!"

Ethan immediately moved after him.

Garrick reached the front of the fleeing people and raised his sword. A powerful aura gathered around the blade, and the surrounding air began to tremble. The people closest to him froze when they felt the killing intent coming from the sword, and several of them turned around with terrified expressions.

"Die!"

He swung his sword.

SHING!

A sharp sword arc shot forward and traveled across the sky. Then another sword light appeared, followed by another, until several powerful sword arcs were cutting through the air and heading toward the people below. The sword lights grew larger as they approached, and the pressure alone was enough to make the ground tremble.

The people looked up.

Their faces immediately turned pale.

"Run!"

"Get away!"

"Help me!"

Screams filled the streets as everyone desperately tried to escape. Some people stumbled and fell while trying to run, and others covered their heads as they watched the sword lights descending toward them. A few soldiers tried to help the civilians move away, but even they knew that there was not enough time.

A mother grabbed her child and pulled him into her arms. She turned her body around and tried to shield the child with her back while tears filled her eyes.

Another man froze in place as he stared at the incoming sword light. His legs trembled, and he could not even take another step.

There was simply no time to escape.

But before the sword arcs could reach them, Ethan suddenly appeared in front of the people.

BOOM!

A deep barrier unfolded before him.

The barrier spread across the street and covered the people behind Ethan. Ethan spread both hands and poured his energy into the barrier. His expression was tense as he focused entirely on protecting the people behind him.

He did not attack Garrick’s sword arcs directly because doing so would create an even stronger shockwave that could hurt the people behind him. Instead, he chose to block the attacks head-on.

The first sword arc struck the barrier.

BOOOOOOM!

The entire barrier shook violently.

The people behind Ethan were thrown slightly backward by the pressure, and several of them fell onto the ground. Ethan remained in place and forced more energy into the barrier as cracks of light spread across its surface.

Another sword arc followed.

BOOM!

Then another.

BOOOM!

The sword lights continued to strike one after another, and the barrier began to tremble under the pressure. The entire street shook with every impact, and dust rose from the ground around Ethan.

Ethan gritted his teeth.

He could feel the force of every attack passing through the barrier. His arms trembled slightly from the pressure, but he refused to move away because the people behind him had nowhere else to go.

Then a sharp sound suddenly rang out.

CRACK!

A sword arc cut across the surface of the barrier.

Ethan’s eyes widened in surprise.

"It cut through?"

He immediately unfolded another pair of magic circles behind the first barrier. A second layer of defense appeared below it and strengthened the protection around the people.

The sword arcs continued to strike.

SHING! BOOM! SHING!

The sound of the sword lights cutting through the barriers continued for several moments. Ethan kept pouring energy into the defenses while carefully controlling the force so the people behind him would remain safe.

The barrier shook harder with every strike.

Another crack appeared.

Then another.

Ethan’s expression became more serious, but he continued holding the defense together until the final sword arc finally lost its strength.

Finally, the last sword arc disappeared.

The light slowly dispersed, and the dust settled.

Ethan stood in front of the people, his clothes covered in dust and his breathing slightly heavier. He slowly lowered his hands and looked around to make sure no one behind him had been seriously injured.

Then his eyes moved ahead.

Garrick was already gone.

His eyes quickly moved across the surroundings before he noticed a figure moving toward another part of the city. Ethan immediately realized what Garrick was trying to do.

"Son of a bitch..."

Ethan cursed and immediately chased after him.

WHOOSH!

His body shot forward like a meteor.
