|
||
|
||
Lyla frowned hard.
|
||
|
||
She wanted to beat the hell out of Max—but not like this.
|
||
|
||
Not with Harry.
|
||
|
||
Not as a team.
|
||
|
||
But before she could protest—
|
||
|
||
"Lyla."
|
||
|
||
Harry’s voice was calm, steady.
|
||
|
||
"Since he’s encouraging us to fight together, we should do it."
|
||
|
||
His gaze met hers.
|
||
|
||
"Besides, as Max mentioned, this will end quickly."
|
||
|
||
Lyla exhaled sharply, then nodded.
|
||
|
||
"Fine. If you’re in, then I’m in."
|
||
|
||
A smirk tugged at Harry’s lips.
|
||
|
||
"Good."
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
Envoy Lucas chuckled, his gaze sweeping over them.
|
||
|
||
"Take your battle to the air."
|
||
|
||
His tone was light, but the meaning behind it was firm.
|
||
|
||
"I don’t want my garden or my Villa ruined in the process."
|
||
|
||
Max grinned.
|
||
|
||
"Let’s go."
|
||
|
||
With a simple thought, his Float Skill activated. Continue your adventure at freewebnovel
|
||
|
||
His feet lifted off the ground, and in the next instant—
|
||
|
||
He shot into the sky, ascending high above the Villa.
|
||
|
||
Harry and Lyla followed.
|
||
|
||
"You guys can start."
|
||
|
||
Max smiled, his black sword appearing in his hand.
|
||
|
||
"Don’t mind me, then."
|
||
|
||
Harry grinned.
|
||
|
||
His hands turned golden, energy radiating off them in waves.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
He clapped.
|
||
|
||
Max’s Three-Dimensional Body reacted instantly.
|
||
|
||
A shift in the air.
|
||
|
||
A rush of wind—from both sides.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes flickered.
|
||
|
||
Two massive golden palms—twice his size—were closing in, aiming to crush him.
|
||
|
||
Without hesitation—
|
||
|
||
Max activated Sky Float and shot backward, just in time to escape.
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
The golden palms slammed together, creating a powerful shockwave that sent ripples through the sky.
|
||
|
||
’I was almost sandwiched between those two palms.’
|
||
|
||
Max thought fast, twisting midair—
|
||
|
||
Then slashed backward with his sword.
|
||
|
||
Clang!
|
||
|
||
A collision.
|
||
|
||
A sudden force pushed against him.
|
||
|
||
Lyla.
|
||
|
||
Her sword clashed against his, the sheer power of the strike sending a shockwave rippling through the sky.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Max didn’t even budge.
|
||
|
||
His grin remained, unwavering.
|
||
|
||
The force of her attack crashed against him, but his 300 Dragon Scales absorbed it effortlessly—like an unshakable fortress.
|
||
|
||
His black sword held firm.
|
||
|
||
Not a tremor in his grip.
|
||
|
||
Lyla’s frown deepened.
|
||
|
||
She had put enough force into that attack to stagger even a Seeker Rank expert—
|
||
|
||
Yet Max stood there.
|
||
|
||
As if he hadn’t felt a thing.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Harry wasted no time.
|
||
|
||
His golden hands clapped again—
|
||
|
||
And in an instant, another massive pair of golden palms materialized.
|
||
|
||
This time—
|
||
|
||
They descended from above.
|
||
|
||
Max’s Three-Dimensional Body reacted instantly.
|
||
|
||
A shift in air pressure.
|
||
|
||
A weight pressing down.
|
||
|
||
’He’s trying to crush me from above now?’𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
|
||
|
||
Max exhaled, his Sky Float skill activating in a flash.
|
||
|
||
At the very last moment—
|
||
|
||
His body flickered, vanishing just before the massive golden palms collided.
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
A violent shockwave ripped through the sky, dispersing the clouds above.
|
||
|
||
Dust and wind spiraled downward—
|
||
|
||
But Max was already gone.
|
||
|
||
Several meters away, floating effortlessly, his expression calm.
|
||
|
||
Unbothered.
|
||
|
||
"Not bad. But you’ll have to do better than that."
|
||
|
||
Max’s voice was light—mocking.
|
||
|
||
Lyla’s eyes flashed with irritation.
|
||
|
||
Her figure shimmered, her Waterform skill activating in an instant.
|
||
|
||
Her body liquefied, morphing into pure water before reforming right behind Max.
|
||
|
||
SWOOSH!
|
||
|
||
A surge of water erupted around him—
|
||
|
||
Twisting. Spiraling. Closing in.
|
||
|
||
A water prison.
|
||
|
||
The currents tightened, locking him in.
|
||
|
||
"Got you now."
|
||
|
||
Lyla smirked, her control absolute.
|
||
|
||
A technique designed to drown. To restrict. To suffocate.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Max didn’t panic.
|
||
|
||
Instead—
|
||
|
||
Black flames erupted from his body.
|
||
|
||
SHHHHHH!
|
||
|
||
The moment they touched the water—
|
||
|
||
Steam exploded outward.
|
||
|
||
The heat was overwhelming—evaporating the prison instantly.
|
||
|
||
Lyla’s expression twisted—
|
||
|
||
Her technique had been erased in seconds.
|
||
|
||
The water collapsed—vanishing into nothing.
|
||
|
||
Lyla’s eyes widened.
|
||
|
||
’The black flames burned my water so fast!’
|
||
|
||
But before she could react—
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
Harry struck again.
|
||
|
||
His golden palms surged forward, radiating even greater power. Faster. Stronger.
|
||
|
||
But this time—
|
||
|
||
Max didn’t dodge.
|
||
|
||
Instead—
|
||
|
||
His aura flared.
|
||
|
||
15 Draconic Essences roared to life within him, surging through every muscle, every scale—reinforcing his entire body.
|
||
|
||
And then—
|
||
|
||
He let the golden palms slam into him from both sides.
|
||
|
||
BOOOOOOOM!
|
||
|
||
A deafening explosion.
|
||
|
||
Golden energy rippled outward, distorting space itself.
|
||
|
||
The Villa trembled. The very air shook.
|
||
|
||
But when the dust settled—
|
||
|
||
Max stood there.
|
||
|
||
Completely unscathed.
|
||
|
||
His 300 Dragon Scales shimmered, absorbing the attack like an unbreakable fortress.
|
||
|
||
The crowd stared in disbelief.
|
||
|
||
"Oh? He survived Harry’s golden palm attack without a scratch?!"
|
||
|
||
Envoy Lucas exclaimed, his tone carrying a hint of shock.
|
||
|
||
"Coming out uninjured after being crushed between two solid golden constructs… that’s almost impossible at the Apprentice and Adept Rank!"
|
||
|
||
Norton Blade nodded, his eyes gleaming with intrigue.
|
||
|
||
"Only Seeker Rank experts with a perfected Vital Shell could achieve that. Even then, it would require absurd levels of control over their vital essence."
|
||
|
||
A flicker of interest crossed Lucas’s face as he studied Max.
|
||
|
||
"That’s exactly what makes him a true genius."
|
||
|
||
His voice lowered, filled with undercurrents of curiosity.
|
||
|
||
"Even from just a glimpse of his battle, it’s clear—Max is fully confident in every aspect of himself. His skills, his technique, his defense, his attacks… He’s an all-rounder."
|
||
|
||
He paused, his gaze sharpening.
|
||
|
||
"But we need to see more before we come to that conclusion."
|
||
|
||
Below, the high-level guests watched intently.
|
||
|
||
Some intrigued.
|
||
|
||
Some impressed.
|
||
|
||
And some—their expressions darkened.
|
||
|
||
Not everyone was pleased with what they were witnessing.
|
||
|
||
As for Max?
|
||
|
||
He simply smirked.
|
||
|
||
His gaze flickered toward Harry, then to Lyla.
|
||
|
||
"Is that all?"
|
||
|
||
Harry’s eyes narrowed.
|
||
|
||
Lyla, frustration burning in her eyes, struck again.
|
||
|
||
Her sword slashed, summoning a razor-sharp crescent of water, slicing toward Max with blinding speed.
|
||
|
||
Max didn’t even flinch.
|
||
|
||
Black flames surged around him, colliding with the water attack.
|
||
|
||
SHHHHHH!
|
||
|
||
It evaporated instantly—disappearing into nothing.
|
||
|
||
Lyla clicked her tongue, irritation clear.
|
||
|
||
But before she could react—
|
||
|
||
Max vanished.
|
||
|
||
CRACK!
|
||
|
||
The air sizzled—
|
||
|
||
Purple lightning surged.
|
||
|
||
And between his fingertips—
|
||
|
||
A highly compressed Lightning Needle materialized, crackling with sheer destructive force.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
He flicked it forward.
|
||
|
||
FWOOOOSH!
|
||
|
||
The needle pierced through the air, cutting through space itself.
|
||
|
||
Harry’s instincts screamed—too late.
|
||
|
||
ZAP!
|
||
|
||
The needle whizzed past his cheek—
|
||
|
||
Slicing through a fraction of his golden aura.
|
||
|
||
A thin, burnt line appeared on his face, the lingering crackle of electricity hissing in the air.
|
||
|
||
Harry stiffened.
|
||
|
||
A single drop of sweat slid down his temple.
|
||
|
||
He hadn’t even seen it coming.
|
||
|
||
Max hovered effortlessly, his smirk widening.
|
||
|
||
"That was just a warning."
|
||
|
||
His voice was calm—mocking.
|
||
|
||
"Keep coming at me, and I might aim for something a little more… vital."
|
||
|
||
Lyla’s grip tightened on her sword.
|
||
|
||
Her frustration boiled.
|
||
|
||
Even together, they couldn’t land a single proper hit.
|
||
|
||
She had wanted to fight him alone, to crush him herself.
|
||
|
||
But now—
|
||
|
||
They couldn’t even touch him.
|
||
|
||
Max exhaled, his aura steady. Unwavering.
|
||
|
||
So far—
|
||
|
||
He had only been countering.
|
||
|
||
Not attacking.
|
||
|
||
And yet—
|
||
|
||
He hadn’t been injured. Not even once.
|
||
|
||
"Harry, let’s not hold back!"
|
||
|
||
With a sharp exhale—
|
||
|
||
Lyla activated her Level 3 Water Aura.
|
||
|
||
The air thickened, heavy with moisture.
|
||
|
||
Above her, countless blades of water materialized—hovering like deadly daggers, shimmering with lethal intent.
|
||
|
||
Her body flickered, shifting in and out of liquid form, making her movements unpredictable—harder to track.
|
||
|
||
At the same time—
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
Harry unleashed his Level 3 Gold Aura.
|
||
|
||
Golden light exploded around him, transforming his arms into massive golden constructs—radiating pure destructive force.
|
||
|
||
The air vibrated as his aura expanded, amplifying his strength. His speed. His power.
|
||
|
||
They weren’t holding back anymore.
|
||
|
||
This was their full strength.
|
||
|
||
"Max!"
|
||
|
||
Lyla’s voice rang out—sharp. Challenging.
|
||
|
||
"Let’s see if you can counter this!"
|
||
|
||
She swung her sword, and in an instant—
|
||
|
||
A torrent of Water Blades erupted.
|
||
|
||
Hundreds.
|
||
|
||
Each razor-sharp, slicing through the sky like a storm of death.
|
||
|
||
The sheer speed of the attack made the air tremble—
|
||
|
||
A relentless downpour of destruction, every blade sharp enough to cleave steel.
|
||
|
||
At the same time—
|
||
|
||
BOOM!
|
||
|
||
Harry’s hands clapped together.
|
||
|
||
And this time—
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t just two golden palms.
|
||
|
||
They multiplied.
|
||
|
||
Four. Six. Eight.
|
||
|
||
Each one radiating immense power, their sheer size blocking out the sky.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
They descended from all directions.
|
||
|
||
A crushing onslaught, designed to leave no escape.
|
||
|
||
A true death trap. |
