Chapter 472: Carving a bloody path (III)
"THUMP!"
A powerful heartbeat echoed across the battlefield like a bomb full of energy and power. Read new chapters at
Sarun’s eyes widened as he saw the Scarlet King flash toward him at a speed nearly three times faster. It was not just impulse; the man’s body, arms, and weapon moved exponentially faster to the point he could barely keep up.
A sense of dread assaulted the Bone Calamity Apotheosis Master as he was taken by surprise by the sudden burst in speed. His first thought was to put some distance between the two, so he sent his fist forward, trying to push the Scarlet King away.
Unfortunately for Sarun, the Scarlet King could predict all his movements with The Flow, dodging the fist and hacking toward the Atrox’s neck with Slaughter.
The Scarlet King’s eyes widened as Slaughter managed to sever half of Sarun’s neck but was stopped in the middle, as he could not sever the spine. Clearly, the level of refinement the man’s bones had obtained was formidable, and not even a Holy Weapon could sever it without immense strength.
Having half of your neck severed was an extremely serious wound, but Sarun knew he could survive if he managed to push the Scarlet King away. But before he could move his fists, the Scarlet King fired the Shadow Arc that he had contained inside the weapon.
"ZNNNNNN!"
Sarun’s eyes were still full of disbelief as his head was separated from his body, and even in his last moments, he could not believe he had perished like that.
The Scarlet King could not stop the blood from flowing through his lips, and his entire body trembled due to the immense pain that assaulted him as the Third Gear put so much pressure on his heart that it reopened the wounds. Had it not been for the healing from the 15th Revolution Refinement, the Scarlet King’s body would have collapsed immediately.
