Chapter 710: Using Everything
But he didn’t lose focus. He couldn’t afford to. Instead, he welcomed this surge of power like an old friend and immediately struck while the moment was ripe.
"Second form of Heaven-Piercing Thunderclap Sword!" Max roared, his voice sharp like a thunderclap splitting the world. His sword surged with blue lightning, now fused perfectly with the strength provided by the Flame Tyrant inheritance from boiling heat of his level 2 flame concept.
He swung with all his might, and for the first time since this impossible duel began, the Storm King staggered—his feet skidding back across the cracked battlefield. Max had finally forced him back.
Seizing the opportunity without hesitation, Max unleashed his arsenal. From the skies, a storm of black-flame-forged weapons descended—swords, spears, hammers, halberds, and axes rained down like divine wrath, each glowing with infernal heat, each roaring with destructive purpose.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The world quaked beneath the fury of Max’s assault. For a moment, it felt as if he would finally overwhelm the legend before him. But then—
A flash. A blinding streak of red lightning tore through the smoke and flame.
And in an instant, all the weapons shattered—every last one obliterated before they could touch their target. The sky was emptied. The storm died in a heartbeat.
The Storm King stood again, completely untouched, as if the previous blow had never landed. His entire body crackled with red lightning, glowing from head to toe in storm-born fury. And then, the Storm King was already there, right in front of him, eyes gleaming like thunder gods, spear poised to strike again.
