Gazef - Focus Battle Aura

But an angel bent on not letting him get away flew over faster. Gazef took aim and whipped out his sword.

A sturdy swing.

The strongest man in the kingdom brandished his sword, and it had the force to cut through anything. Though he cut deeply into the angel’s flesh, however, it wasn’t enough to kill it.

The blood it coughed up dispersed as a puff of the same magical energy that made up its body.

“I’m fine! Turn around and charge!” After giving the order, he glared sharply at the angel that had gotten away. It was seriously wounded but was still raring for a fight and looking for an opening to attack him.

“I see.” Something had felt off when he’d brought his sword down, and he realized now what it had been. Some monsters took very little damage unless a weapon of a specific make was used. Angels had that power. That’s why it’d been able to take that blow without falling.

“You’re too late!” To the strongest warrior around, it was way too slow. His sword flew. This slice couldn’t even be compared to the previous one—he ripped easily through the angel’s body.
