A Life-or-Death Fighting Style!

That was a merciless strike, as powerful as thunder.

The Thunder Strike Halberd was a heavy, armor-piercing halberd with tremendous force behind it. It was not particularly sharp—in fact, its tip could even be considered blunt... Therefore, cutting Hellerchein's Dragon Spear in an instant required her to give it everything she had.

If she held back even slightly... she might fail to break through.

Aleister had almost no chance of defeating Hellerchein in a head-on battle. Once he discovered her intention to destroy his weapon, Hellerchein might even follow the direction of her attack, deliberately expose a flaw, and lay a trap.

Yet this attack did not cause much damage to Aleister,
