Chapter 7: Limit Break
The fight continued as both fighters gave it their all while trying to kill the other. The beautiful forest park had now been brought to ruins as the magical beasts ran for safety, and even the few high-ranking magical beasts present were no exception.
Both closed the distance. The man’s blade surged with condensed wind energy, the pressure of which was palpable even from afar. He lunged forward, the strike splitting the air with a deafening crack.
Alex faced the attack head-on. Their blades collided, and the resulting shockwave flattened the ground around them. The sheer force sent both combatants back, leaving deep trenches in the earth.
"You’re tougher than I thought," the warrior admitted, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow.
"And you talk too much," Alex retorted, his golden lightning flaring even brighter.
Alex raised his katana, the air around him buzzing with electricity. His voice was calm but firm, as he decided to take a gamble with the last Art he still hadn’t mastered before reinforcements arrived.
"Thunder Control: Katana Form—Sixth Art. Limit Break."
As Alex invoked the final art—lightning surged into his body with a ferocity that defied comprehension. The energy didn’t just course through him; it became a part of him, merging with his essence. The golden lightning crackled violently, enveloping his form in an armor of pure energy, each arc alive with a divine intensity.
The moment the art took hold, the world seemed to shudder in acknowledgment. Thunder roared across the sky, rolling in waves that made the ground tremble. The air grew dense and heavy, charged with a power that made the forest around them feel insignificant. The heavens darkened, clouds swirling as if bending to the will of the storm manifesting on the battlefield.
