Whoosh!
Gio's body melded in with the rubble as he used the falling chunks and platforms as steps. For a second, the Old Duke saw a flash of blue in the destruction.
The next time he saw it, it was aimed at his head.
Xiu!
Boom!
Gio's body turned into a speeding comet as he pushed off the rubble and shot at the Old Duke. He threw his arm forward with a concentrated beam of virtual energy shooting from his fingertip.
Bang!
It struck the Old Duke's head exactly where Gio aimed, but the man took the hit like it was nothing.
"A weakling who thinks he's—"
Gio didn't let the opponent taunt him. As the beam made contact, he raised his other arm and manifested a massive energy cube that fell down with several tons of force.
Booooom!
It appeared and moved much faster than it did when he faced Raven. He was confident in turning it into a real meaningful projection within the month.
But that was beside the point.
