Chapter 68: Awakening of a demon 2
Amari stood in the center of the open field, an unsettling grin tugging at his lips. His friends surrounded him, their eyes sharp, bodies tense. The air crackled with energy, the weight of the impending clash pressing down on all of them.
"Alright," Amari said, his voice smooth and confident. "Let’s stop messing around. Full power. All of you."
No hesitation.
Maverick smirked, raising his voice in command. "Everyone—go all out!"
The shift was immediate. Each of them activated their Unco at the same time, the energy in the air intensifying. Maverick’s authority guided them, sharpening their focus, syncing their movements.
Johnny moved first.
He dashed forward with deadly precision, his eyes glowing as his Unco activated. Time Freeze.
Everything around him halted.
For two seconds, the world stood frozen in place. The birds in the sky, the wind in the trees—the fight itself—completely still.
But before those seconds could pass, before time could restart on its own—Amari broke through it.
Without warning, his body surged forward, cutting through the frozen stillness like it was nothing. His hand closed around Johnny’s neck with ease, lifting him off the ground.
Johnny’s eyes widened in shock. Impossible.
