As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. After being struck, Luka was forced into a brief moment of rigidity, and Argenti seized the opportunity to press the attack. Just moments ago, Luka had nearly managed to intercept all the phantasm attacks; had he truly succeeded, he might even have dodged this blow. But since Luka had taken the damage, there was no way he could evade what was coming.
Indeed, Luka took Argenti's direct attack head-on, but at the same time, he launched a counterstrike of his own, delivering a punch right as Argenti struck. That was simply his style—he was always willing to trade blow for blow. Of course, this time it had genuinely been out of sheer necessity.
"Mr. Argenti, would you call this punch 'pure and radiant'?" Despite taking two rounds of damage, Luka still had the breath to speak. It seemed his regular resistance training had paid off remarkably well.
