A momentary disruption in her blood flow sent her heart pumping beyond its limits, and Stormfront's entire body abruptly stiffened.
Agonizing pain swept through her in an instant, and a tearing sense of suffocation gripped her chest. Before she could control her power, the raging violet lightning cut off, and the lightning barrier around her instantly dispersed.
Shnk!
The special longsword reached her body, its keen edge slicing straight through her tough combat suit. But just as the blade was about to pierce her flesh, its advance abruptly stalled.
It wouldn't go in!
Stormfront's body was as hard as steel and stone. Her skin looked soft, but its defensive strength was terrifying, stopping the blade cold without letting it sink in the slightest.
Solomon understood instantly.
Level 3 Physical Defense!
The Vought Standard Special Weapon's penetration threshold only covered defenses below level 3. Against level 3 defense, it simply couldn't inflict a penetrating wound.

Solomon silently cursed, then flicked his hand without hesitation, tossing the useless special longsword aside.
Taking advantage of Stormfront's disrupted blood flow, agonizing heart pain, and rigid body that couldn't exert any strength, he stepped forward. His arm surged with force as he seized her neck in a crushing grip, leaving her no room to move.
The next instant, Memory Reading activated!
Vast mental power invaded Stormfront's mind, forcibly tearing through and examining fragments of her decades of memories.
A torrent of images, information, and emotions flooded in. Stormfront felt as though her brain were being forcibly stretched open. Her consciousness reeled, her memories surged, and unbearable pressure and dizziness swept through her. She trembled in agony, on the verge of collapse.
Solomon clearly sensed that his reading speed had increased more than tenfold!
Thanks to the level 2.5 mental
