Chapter 618: The Unstoppable Assault
Greg wielded Crusher with unparalleled finesse, its length, composed entirely of mana, bore no weight, yet at one meter forty, it towered over his own height, steadfastly parrying Soma’s relentless onslaught from every direction.
Though minor injuries accumulated across his body, Greg’s defensive stance only grew more solid with each passing moment.
On the other side, Soma was well aware of Greg’s intentions but remained indifferent.
His goal was to immerse Greg in utter despair, to savor that exquisite expression of hopelessness on Greg’s face before severing his throat in one fell swoop.
As he had mentioned before, Greg had never completed beastification—not due to a lack of mana manipulation, but a lack of inherent talent.
Beastification was a skill reserved solely for magi of pure enhancement lineage.
Thus, Greg was oblivious to the true essence of beastification.
The situation did not improve; Greg and Soma were locked in a death grip, the surrounding crowd had long been dispersed by fear, and the spreading flames had transformed the area into a relatively enclosed space.
Until a victor emerged from this battle, escape was impossible for anyone.
Oxygen was scarce, the heat intense, and the interplay of light and shadow seemed like dark hands of a devil stretching out towards them.
In such conditions, any lapse could lead to a fatal vulnerability.
