Chapter 1760: Catching the sword mid-swing
The Star Man attempted to pull back, but it was too late. Meylin’s sword struck him with relentless force, slicing through his face, and destroying his right eye in a flash of radiant power. The blade didn’t stop there; it plunged into his chest, cutting through bone and muscle alike, its deadly edge driving deep into his core.
A scream of pure agony tore from the Star Man’s throat. The wound wasn’t just physical—it burned with a strange, insidious force that began invading his soul, corrupting it, gnawing at the very essence of his being. His aura wavered, distorted by the unfamiliar, invasive energy.
“You bi—”
His curse was cut off as Cain, resembling a comet of red flames, crashed down from the sky like an avenging god. The Neo-Demon tackled the Star Man mid-air, both hurtling toward the earth.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!”
They smashed into the ground with catastrophic force. The impact sent a tidal wave of red flames surging outward, igniting the forest in an inferno of destruction. Trees were instantly vaporized, the earth split open in violent fractures, and the entire region shook as if assaulted by an earthquake. The shockwaves rippled for miles, a devastating echo of their clash.
“Ultimate Dragon Soul!”
The ground was still quaking when Bahamut appeared above the crater, his body glowing with draconic flames and ancient power. A phantom manifestation of himself—an incandescent incarnation of his dragon soul—erupted from his chest and plunged into the crater, detonating with a blinding explosion.
“BOOOOOOMMMMM!”
The blast tore through the battlefield, obliterating what remained of the terrain. Bahamut knew the attack would likely affect Cain as well, but he had no doubt the Neo-Demon could handle it. Cain wasn’t someone who needed to be coddled or protected—he was a force of nature, forged in the fires of destruction.
For several moments, all was chaos—flames roaring, the ground trembling, the air itself thick with cosmic radiation so potent that it would annihilate anyone below the Prime Deity rank.
