Kettlemons's sword was aimed directly at Linley's head!
As a Peak Asura who cultivated the Law of Light and stood only one step away from becoming a Paragon, Kettlemons's soul attack was absolutely not something Linley could easily withstand.

Whoosh!!!
Without the slightest hesitation, Kettlemons put away his longsword and transformed into a streak of
