Chapter 758: Max’s intention to call them all
’Time to kill all the Ascendants in this battlefield.’ The thought blazed like molten steel in Max’s mind, his eyes sharpening with a ferocious gleam that seemed to cut through the swirling blood mist and chaos around him.
With his strength now at the Fourth Level of Master Rank, the energy boiling in his veins made him feel like a caged dragon finally unfurling its wings, and he was ready to tear this battlefield apart, piece by bloody piece.
Without hesitation, he raised his right arm high above his head, fingers outstretched, black scales glinting in his skin. Brilliant golden light flared at his palm, condensing rapidly into three gleaming swords of pure luminance.
Each sword hummed with lethal intent, edges crackling with threads of violent energy as they pulsed with the potent resonance of his Level 2 Concept of Severing Sword. The blades hovered in the air, slowly rotating around him like the celestial rings of a radiant sun, casting golden reflections across the shredded battlefield.
In the same heartbeat, his body blurred into motion. Blue lightning erupted around him with a fierce crackle, bolts whipping across his scales like snapping serpents as he vanished in a streak of blinding speed.
The ground beneath where he’d stood exploded outward in a shockwave of shattered stone and blood-splattered dirt as he rocketed forward.
He materialized a heartbeat later directly beside Karl, whose own body was wreathed in black flames as he struggled desperately against a monstrous Ascendant towering over him. The Ascendant’s claws were inches from Karl’s fist, dark energy swirling around its limbs, its faceless visage twisted with monstrous glee at the prospect of the kill.
Before either Karl or the Ascendant could react, one of Max’s golden swords detached from its orbit and screamed forward with surgical precision, a flash of blazing gold that cleaved the very air apart. The blade’s trajectory was swift, silent, and unstoppable.
Shick!
