Brogy tensed his entire body, the muscles beneath his Golden Armor bulging with thick, knotted veins.
The golden axe in his right hand was tightly gripped, its blade spreading with a layer of black sheen.
At the same time, vein-like patterns flickered with crimson light.
Wherever the axe blade swept, the air tore apart with thunderous detonations as it collided midair with White Scale's tail, which lashed over on fierce winds.
[BOOM!!!]
The difference in strength was revealed in an instant. White Scale's enormous serpent body was blasted away by the violent explosion and slammed heavily into the hard stone wall.
Clearly, in a contest of raw strength, even with Senjutsu Chakra enhancing him, the White Snake Sage was no match for Brogy.
That was hardly surprising.
