Chapter 726
An unfathomable weight presses down on my chest.
In the same amount of time it took for me to break this monster's chain and gain the advantage for a split second, it turned the tables on me and has shown the absurd strength that was sealed within.
Every moment that passes, I feel more and more power leaking out from the demonic one-eyed figure, with a stoic expression. From kilometers away, it holds me down with its ranged weapon like this is a menial task.
I can feel my Astral Form cracking apart, and the immense pressure of the atmosphere is seeping into my real body once again.
While I'm able to release this power in bursts, I'm still not fully acclimated to the Upper Realm's air density, and I only have so much time before I need to fall back into my base form and put my purple barrier back up.
Considering the Guardian knows I'm a dangerous opponent, I doubt I'll only get hit one time if I retreat now. Taking advantage of its momentary lapse in judgment has passed.
Though, I did manage to at least find one small weakness.
As the dark demonic stain grows in my Astral Form, cracking and fracturing it further as it spreads, I pay it no mind and follow a single thread of my divine swordsmanship skill, sifting through the hundreds of thousands of foresight futures until one matches up with my desired result.
The crimson eye of my hungry blade sends pulses of red fiery energy through the threads of mana, and I swing my blade again while being pressed into the ground.
