At the same time, Enel's body abruptly dissolved into countless dancing blue sparks, about to scatter through Elementalization-his most instinctive response to an attack, and one he believed absolutely safe.
Yet, facing the three roaring lightning dragons lunging to devour him and Enel's nearly complete Elementalization, Guan Yu's descending dragon claw did not deviate in the slightest. Only a pinpoint of blue-gold light, compressed to the utmost, flickered faintly in his palm.
The next instant, a scene unfolded that Enel would never forget, one that utterly shattered his understanding of the world.
When the three lightning dragons, laden with an aura of destruction, came within three feet of Guan Yu, they seemed to crash into an invisible, absolutely "exclusive" domain.
