Just as the tip of the sword was less than 20cm from his face, Nick suddenly flicked a finger, and a spiraling gust shot out, knocking Selina's blade slightly off course.
Whoosh!
The tip deviated, brushing past a few strands of Nick's hair, then continued stabbing forward from inertia.
But because of that, the distance between Selina and Nick was pulled even closer.
"Not good!" Selina jolted, realizing she had been tricked, but it was already too late. Nick's hand, the one holding the wind sphere, shoved toward Selina.
At the same time, Nick suddenly sensed something and hastily retreated.
A tiny fireball the size of a marble streaked toward him at bullet-like speed. But Nick's reflexes were terrifying. In a split second, he tilted his body, using the wind sphere in his hand to block the shot, and then… a violent explosion erupted.
BAM!
"Agh!" Selina was blown backward by flames and countless gusts of wind, but she steadied herself almost immediately.
