|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
A second black sphere detonated behind him, stopping his momentum and slamming him into the ground with a deafening crash.
|
||
|
||
Jack coughed, blood spraying from his lips as his body twitched.
|
||
|
||
Yet, before he could even catch his breath—
|
||
|
||
Asha was already above him.
|
||
|
||
Her black flaming foot descended like a meteor.
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
Jack’s body sank into the stage, the tiles beneath him shattering like glass.
|
||
|
||
"GAAAHH!!"
|
||
|
||
He let out a hoarse scream, but his blood energy did not weaken.
|
||
|
||
Instead, it flared even stronger.
|
||
|
||
Jack twisted his body unnaturally, bending in ways no human should be able to, avoiding Asha’s follow-up strike as he slashed his blood-coated sword upward—
|
||
|
||
CLANG!
|
||
|
||
A black sphere caught his sword before it could touch her.
|
||
|
||
Then, before Jack could pull away—
|
||
|
||
SQUELCH.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s hand pierced through his shoulder.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s entire body froze.
|
||
|
||
For the first time in the battle—
|
||
|
||
He felt fear.
|
||
|
||
Asha leaned down, her masked face mere inches from his ear.
|
||
|
||
"You’re nothing but a beast relying on instinct," she whispered.
|
||
|
||
Her voice was cold. Empty.
|
||
|
||
"Let me show you the difference between a monster—"
|
||
|
||
Her black flames expanded, consuming Jack’s entire arm.
|
||
|
||
"—and a predator."
|
||
|
||
Jack screamed as his arm began to disintegrate, the black flames eating away at his flesh, his blood, even his very essence.
|
||
|
||
His struggles grew weaker.
|
||
|
||
For the first time—
|
||
|
||
Jack realized he was losing.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s body convulsed, the unbearable agony of his burning arm sending his mind into a chaotic frenzy. His blood energy surged wildly, trying to resist the devouring black flames, but it was useless.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s power was like an abyss, consuming everything it touched.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Jack was not someone who accepted defeat.
|
||
|
||
"AAAAAGHHH!"
|
||
|
||
A monstrous howl erupted from his throat, his blood-soaked aura suddenly boiling with an even greater intensity.
|
||
|
||
His crimson energy twisted, exploding outward, forming tendrils of liquid blood that surged toward Asha like a pack of frenzied beasts.
|
||
|
||
But Asha remained unfazed. Read the latest on freewebnovel
|
||
|
||
Her black flames flared, consuming the tendrils before they could even touch her.
|
||
|
||
SHHHHHHH!
|
||
|
||
The blood evaporated into the air, leaving behind nothing but a faint crimson mist.
|
||
|
||
Jack, however, did not stop.
|
||
|
||
His eyes turned completely black.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
His body blurred, moving at a speed even faster than before, his sword flashing forward in a series of relentless slashes.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s black spheres shifted like a flowing tide, moving with her, deflecting every single attack with eerie precision.
|
||
|
||
"MORE! MORE! MORE!" Jack bellowed, his voice turning almost inhuman.
|
||
|
||
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
|
||
|
||
His blade danced through the air, unleashing crimson arcs of blood energy that surged like rivers of destruction.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Asha countered everything.
|
||
|
||
Not a single attack landed.
|
||
|
||
Her ten black spheres moved flawlessly, deflecting every strike, absorbing every energy-based attack, leaving Jack with nothing.
|
||
|
||
His speed was monstrous.
|
||
|
||
His strength was overwhelming.
|
||
|
||
But against Asha—
|
||
|
||
It meant nothing.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s attacks grew more and more frantic.
|
||
|
||
His mind screamed at him—
|
||
|
||
She’s playing with me.
|
||
|
||
"DAMN YOU!!"
|
||
|
||
His blood flared one last time.
|
||
|
||
From his forehead, an enormous red sphere of blood energy began to condense—
|
||
|
||
This time, it was different.
|
||
|
||
The air trembled as the blood sphere compressed, its size shrinking but its power skyrocketing.
|
||
|
||
It burned with an intensity that made even the ground beneath them melt from the sheer pressure.
|
||
|
||
Asha…
|
||
|
||
Finally…
|
||
|
||
Stopped moving.
|
||
|
||
For the first time since the battle began—
|
||
|
||
She stood still.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s lips curled into a manic grin.
|
||
|
||
"DIE, DIE, DIEEEE!!"
|
||
|
||
He unleashed the full power of his blood sphere laser.
|
||
|
||
BOOOOOOM!!
|
||
|
||
A crimson pillar erupted from his forehead, tearing through the stage, obliterating everything in its path as it surged straight toward Asha.
|
||
|
||
The attack was unavoidable.
|
||
|
||
There was no escape.
|
||
|
||
The geniuses watching held their breath.
|
||
|
||
Even the air seemed frozen—
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
SILENCE.
|
||
|
||
The pillar of destruction vanished.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s eyes widened in disbelief.
|
||
|
||
His strongest attack—
|
||
|
||
His ultimate blood laser—
|
||
|
||
Was gone.
|
||
|
||
No explosion. No resistance.
|
||
|
||
Just…
|
||
|
||
Erased.
|
||
|
||
Then, a single voice echoed through the stage.
|
||
|
||
"You bore me."
|
||
|
||
Jack’s body froze.
|
||
|
||
Asha hadn’t moved an inch.
|
||
|
||
Her black flames still burned, unshaken, untouched, unchallenged.
|
||
|
||
Jack staggered.
|
||
|
||
His mind refused to believe it.
|
||
|
||
But his body understood.
|
||
|
||
He had lost.
|
||
|
||
Completely.
|
||
|
||
Jack staggered, his mind struggling to process what had just happened.
|
||
|
||
His ultimate attack—erased.
|
||
|
||
His most destructive power—worthless.
|
||
|
||
Something inside him snapped.
|
||
|
||
His veins bulged. His black eyes twisted, cracking as blood leaked from them. His muscles swelled unnaturally, the bones within his body groaning under the pressure.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
A crimson shockwave exploded outward.
|
||
|
||
His entire body transformed.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s skin peeled, revealing a shifting, pulsating crimson surface underneath. His hair turned to threads of blood, slithering wildly like tendrils.
|
||
|
||
His mouth tore open, his teeth elongating, his voice becoming a beastly growl.
|
||
|
||
Jack was gone.
|
||
|
||
All that remained was rage.
|
||
|
||
Berserk Jack had awakened.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s gaze lowered slightly, taking in the change.
|
||
|
||
"Interesting," she murmured.
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
Jack disappeared.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s eyes flickered—
|
||
|
||
Swoosh!
|
||
|
||
He appeared behind her, his blade descending like the wrath of a god.
|
||
|
||
Her black flames surged, forming a barrier—
|
||
|
||
CRACK!
|
||
|
||
Her first sphere shattered instantly.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s expression remained calm, but her fingers twitched.
|
||
|
||
Jack’s speed had doubled.
|
||
|
||
"MORE! MORE! MORE!"
|
||
|
||
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
|
||
|
||
He attacked with a mad frenzy, his blade a blur, his blood tendrils slashing like whips, his body moving like a nightmare.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s spheres blocked, deflected, countered—
|
||
|
||
But one by one, they shattered.
|
||
|
||
Second sphere—Destroyed.
|
||
|
||
Third sphere—Destroyed.
|
||
|
||
Fourth sphere—Destroyed.
|
||
|
||
Asha’s breath turned slightly ragged.
|
||
|
||
Jack was exhausting her.
|
||
|
||
His power was not unlimited, but in this berserk state, his body was a furnace of destruction, burning his very lifespan to fight.
|
||
|
||
And—
|
||
|
||
It was working.
|
||
|
||
Fifth sphere.
|
||
|
||
Sixth sphere.
|
||
|
||
Seventh sphere.
|
||
|
||
The stage trembled, cracks forming across the floor as each exchange sent devastating shockwaves through the air.
|
||
|
||
Jack had no strategy, no technique—no elegance in his attacks.
|
||
|
||
Just pure, unfiltered slaughter.
|
||
|
||
His movements were wild, unrestrained, driven only by the relentless hunger to destroy. He did not think. He did not hesitate. He fought like a beast unleashed, a storm of blood and fury tearing through everything in his path.
|
||
|
||
And yet—
|
||
|
||
Even as he overwhelmed her…
|
||
|
||
Even as he pushed her to the edge…
|
||
|
||
Asha never fell behind.
|
||
|
||
She adapted. She countered.
|
||
|
||
No matter how many times Jack came at her, no matter how much power he poured into every blow, she stood unshaken—a fortress that would not crumble. |
