Chapter 306: Masochist
"That's it!" Margaret raged after getting up. "I've had enough of you!"
The towering statue began to shift once more as the multitude of wooden hands prepared for another Summit Enlightenment technique.
Arthur sensed the coming storm, so he channeled more natural energy into his weapon. Spinning it, a golden aura trailed at the tip of the blade.
'Sage art...' As the many wooden hands began, he remained resolute on his target. 'Tailed Beast: fracture strike!'
In a single, powerful slash, he then brought the blade down. Invisible slashes cut through the air, severing both the earth below and the very essence of the attack aimed at him.
Each of Margaret's thousand fists met an imperceptible onslaught of slashes that shattered and subsequently broke her Summit Enlightenment apart while sending splinters to scatter in every direction.
But his attack didn't stop there.
A final, colossal slash roared through the battlefield—an unrelenting and fierce wave of pure energy that carved both Margaret and her giant statue down the middle in an awe-inspiring display of supremacy.
Screams of rage and disbelief tore through her throat as she felt her connection to the statue sever before the devastating explosion engulfed her.
Then, the battlefield lay still for a moment in the aftermath.
When the remnants began to clear, visions of destruction unfurled. Arthur spotted the leftovers of Margaret's statue. It was turned to shattered wooden fragments that littered the massive crater.
