Chapter 678: Holding Back
Max’s eyes narrowed as he saw the attack. He raised his left hand, and with a calm yet chilling voice, muttered, "Phantom Devour Claw." Instantly, a ghostly claw of pitch-black flame materialized before him, as tall and wide as his own body.
It radiated a sinister, devouring aura. The claw surged forward, and with a terrifying screeching sound, it seized the incoming lightning dragons one by one, crushing them mid-air until they burst into harmless sparks.
The sky lit up with scattered arcs of dying lightning, but Max remained standing in mid-air, his black claw flickering in front of him like a harbinger of destruction.
However, just after Max had crushed the last of the lightning dragons, he suddenly sensed an ominous change in the atmosphere. Without warning, countless slashes of lightning began to rain down from above, each one sharper and faster than the last, descending in rapid succession with explosive force.
Max’s expression darkened as he realized the attack wasn’t just powerful—it was endless. ’This is getting troublesome,’ he thought, his eyes scanning the sky.
But his Three Dimensional Body instantly kicked into overdrive, allowing him to predict the precise trajectory of each lightning slash. Without hesitation, he activated his flying skill, weaving through the deadly rain with swift, fluid movements.
He flew through the barrage like a ghost in the storm, gliding past every strike with flawless grace. Not a single bolt managed to touch him, and he looked like a streak of blue lightning dancing through chaos.
But just as he was about to close the distance again, Kai’s voice rang out, filled with mocking laughter. "Hahahaha! You’re done now!"
Max’s eyes narrowed. Something felt off. He glanced upward—and his heart skipped a beat. They had flown so high, they were now level with the clouds. And not just any clouds. Thick, swirling black clouds loomed overhead, buzzing with a terrifying energy.
Lightning crackled inside them like caged beasts trying to break free.
Max felt a sudden premonition—a deep instinctual warning—and before he could react, it happened.
