Chapter 305: Summit Enlightenment
Outskirts of the Rain Village.
As the air cleared in the battlefield, Margaret landed amidst the wreckage. She suddenly gasped as she stared in disbelief.
There stood Arthur with his figure silhouetted against the smouldering remains. His clothes were tattered, and his skin was marred with multiple wounds that gradually began healing themselves.
"H... How?" she whispered to herself. "Did that stupid sword actually match the powers of my sage-enhanced Kirin?!"
The thought seemed impossible. No normal sword could withstand and survive the might of such a technique.
She gritted her teeth, and her frustration boiled over as she stared him down. The unknown, stoic figure before her was a perplexing anomaly, a force she had never expected to meet.
How could someone like him, some faceless opponent, stand on equal footing with her?
The anger mounted within her to unprecedented levels like an inferno that burned with intensity. Yet Arthur remained calm and simply began brushing off the dust left behind on his shoulder.
Because of that, her rage surged and she felt it deep within. It unfurled like a dark flower blooming in the depths of her spirit. Her Sage Chakra then spiked and escalated higher and higher until her hair stood on end.
"I didn't think someone like you existed," she declared with defiance. "I might seem angry, but that's just who I am..."
In that moment, she underwent an incredible transformation. A viscous, slime-like substance began to seep from her pores and changed her crimson hair into a dark, semi-transparent mass that gave her the appearance of being drenched in blood as black tribal marks appeared on her face.
