Chapter 42: The Fallen Star (Part 2)
’Was it hiding its power, or...’ Azrael looked at the black greatsword in the figure’s hand, which was his Soul Armament and his eyes narrowed.
’It must be the power of the Soul Armament.’
He stared at the black figure without any expression on his face, then sighed and stood up.
’Well, it seems I can’t take it easy anymore.’
As he stood, the energy pathways he had created in his body through the Breathing Method activated, and cosmic energy began to flow toward his feet.
’I still can’t control the cosmic energy since it’s only been a day since I reached the mid-level of breathing method. But...’
Cosmic energy started to gather at the soles of his feet, and his eyes narrowed.
’I don’t need to control it. I just need to let it run wild... just enough to give me an opening to burst out with a powerful move.’
Azrael dashed once again toward the black figure. He unleashed the full effect of his Cold Blooded trait, shutting out all distractions and focusing solely on the battle.
At the same time, his Infinite Comprehension trait helped him keep the wild cosmic energy in check— just enough to prevent it from tearing apart his leg muscles.
This time, Azrael didn’t directly clash with the greatsword. Instead, he skillfully dodged it.
Due to the injury in his right arm, he couldn’t use the full strength of his dagger and was unable to inflict serious damage on the black figure.
