Uzair reacted frantically and cocooned himself with the Demonblood Gourd's malevolent energy. At the same time, the Thunderbolt Pool above swirled with renewed power, unleashing a torrent of snaking electricity that coalesced into a crackling shield of lightning. Before those defenses could fully take shape, Severin's sword energy sliced through the air and cleaved through everything in its path.
The lightning shield held on for only a few seconds before shattering into billions of light fragments. The Sky-Soil Heptagold Sword Energy, further infused with the remnants of chaotic swordwill, continued its trajectory forward.
Uzair panicked when he realized that his first line of defense had crumbled. He roared, channeling his spiritual power to spur the Demonblood Gourd into spewing forth another torrent of malevolent energy, hoping desperately that it would be enough to curb the sword light.
Severin, however, viewed it as a futile gesture. The sword's energy was to the malevolent energy that a hot knife was to butter. It cleaved through the Demonblood Gourd's energy with ease, shattering its malevolent aura in an instant.
Upon witnessing the collapse of his defenses, terror washed over Uzair's face as he attempted one final, futile attempt to dodge. The sword light was fast advancing, and he could already feel his hair stand on end.
In the blink of an eye, the shockwave from the impact sent Uzair flying. By the time he finally landed, a gush of blood erupted from his mouth as his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He had given it his all to resist the attack and used the Thunderbolt Pool to withstand the blow. Unfortunately, his efforts were useless as the chaotic swordwill within the sword energy showed no signs of abating. Grievous wounds were inflicted, and his spiritual energy dwindled significantly.
