CH126 Warning in Blood
***
Kurt's eyes suddenly glowed with a familiar crimson hue.
Calm Madness.
A battle technique of the Fury bloodline—one that amplified combat instincts while suppressing pain and fear.
With a roar, Kurt charged, his greatsword raised in a downwards diagonal arc.
"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try!" he bellowed.
He swung hard, aiming to cleave through Alex with a single blow.
But Alex didn't respond with his rod.
No—he stepped in.
Rotating at the hips and pivoting on his lead foot, Alex unleashed a roundhouse kick that slammed into the hilt of Kurt's greatsword. The timing was surgical.
Clang!
The sword was knocked off-course, halted mid-swing before it could descend fully.
The force of the impact nearly ripped it from Kurt's hands, and while he managed to hold on, it cost him the momentum—and his focus.
That split second was all Alex needed.
Crack!
The metal rod lashed out horizontally, slamming across both of Kurt's calves in one strike.
