Chapter 598: Reverse Techqniue
"Severing Flow Sword Art!" Max’s voice rang out through the hall like a decree of death. His sword sliced through the air, a streak of pure annihilation carried by the full force of his Concept of Severing Sword.
It was the same technique he’d used before—but now, powered by the severing concept, it transformed into something entirely different. The attack didn’t just aim to cut—it intended to erase.
The space between Max and Silus warped slightly, rippling like the surface of disturbed water. The sword light howled forward like a tidal wave of blades, shrieking with the intent to break through anything—armor, flesh, even willpower.
Silus’ eyes widened, panic flickering across his face for the first time. His tortoise shell armor thickened automatically in response, drawing deeply on his bloodline.
But the moment Max’s strike crashed into it, the entire hall trembled. An ear-shattering explosion echoed across the chamber, followed by a gust of raw force that sent debris flying and cracked the walls.
"I’ve had enough of you!!" Silus’ roar echoed like thunder through the crumbling hall, his voice a howl of fury and humiliation. From the cracked wall of debris he had crashed into earlier, he stormed out, bloodied, battered, but burning with madness in his eyes.
His once-groomed hair was now a wild mane, his pristine armor scuffed and dented. He looked nothing like the proud young master of the Xuan Family—he looked like a man pushed to the edge.
"Black Tortoise Inheritance – Inverse Technique!" he bellowed.
At his call, a ripple of dark energy surged around him. The heavy, shell-like tortoise armor that had once bulked around his body suddenly compressed—flattening and thinning until it looked like a second skin of dark jade, pulsing with power.
His aura changed. It became sharper, deadlier, more volatile. Even the spear in his hand glowed ominously, its tip coated with a dense, dark green radiance that hissed like a serpent ready to strike.
