||
|
||
Evan’s gaze locked onto Max, his expression darkening.
|
||
|
||
His lips parted, voice firm yet edged with newfound respect.
|
||
|
||
"You’re strong. Very strong. I underestimated you. But not anymore."
|
||
|
||
Then—he closed his eyes.
|
||
|
||
The atmosphere shifted.
|
||
|
||
A deep hum pulsed through the air as his Level 3 Wind Aura erupted, surging through the surrounding like a silent storm.
|
||
|
||
The winds responded instantly.
|
||
|
||
First, a whisper.
|
||
|
||
Then, a howl.
|
||
|
||
Dust and fallen leaves spiraled upward, caught in an invisible force.
|
||
|
||
Trees bent and swayed violently, their branches groaning as if bowing to the unseen power.
|
||
|
||
The winds weren’t just blowing—they were moving in all directions, an unnatural chaos that sent shivers through the air.
|
||
|
||
Far beyond the battlefield, at the edges of Envoy’s Villa, onlookers stood frozen, watching.
|
||
|
||
Even from a distance, they felt it.
|
||
|
||
The raging wind.
|
||
|
||
"What’s happening…?" A young genius shielded his eyes from the swirling dust.
|
||
|
||
An old man’s robes flapped violently, his expression unreadable. "This is no ordinary wind. It’s alive."
|
||
|
||
Closer to the fight, those who had been watching from the treetops struggled to hold their ground. A few lost their footing, tumbling backward, clutching onto roots and rocks.
|
||
|
||
And yet—at the center of it all stood Evan.
|
||
|
||
His presence was absolute.
|
||
|
||
He didn’t move.
|
||
|
||
Didn’t waver.
|
||
|
||
He simply stood as the eye of the storm, his aura expanding, breathing life into the tempest.
|
||
|
||
Then—Evan’s eyes snapped open.
|
||
|
||
And the world froze.
|
||
|
||
The chaotic winds, once howling in all directions, vanished.𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
|
||
|
||
The trees, which had nearly been uprooted moments ago, stood eerily still. Leaves and dust, once caught in a violent storm, drifted harmlessly to the ground.
|
||
|
||
As if nothing had ever happened.
|
||
|
||
But the winds didn’t just vanish.
|
||
|
||
They had gathered.
|
||
|
||
Condensed.
|
||
|
||
All of it—surrounding Evan.
|
||
|
||
A swirling cocoon of wind formed around him, a spiraling force of raw power compressing into a single point.
|
||
|
||
For a second, he vanished within it, his figure blurred behind the layers of wind.
|
||
|
||
Then—crack!
|
||
|
||
The cocoon shattered.
|
||
|
||
A rush of air blasted outward, but this time, it wasn’t wild.
|
||
|
||
It was controlled.
|
||
|
||
Evan emerged.
|
||
|
||
Changed.
|
||
|
||
A glowing light-green crown hovered above his head, pulsing with ethereal energy.
|
||
|
||
A translucent, wind-forged cloak draped over his shoulders, shifting and rippling as though made of the very air itself.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed.
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t Null Transformation.
|
||
|
||
He had expected him to go full Null transformation but—
|
||
|
||
It was something else—something purely wind.
|
||
|
||
He had seen transformations before.
|
||
|
||
Revenna’s Ice Amour. Arthur’s Mist Form. Countless others.
|
||
|
||
Each powerful in its own right.
|
||
|
||
And yet—
|
||
|
||
A sliver of jealousy coiled inside him.
|
||
|
||
Because he would never have something like that.
|
||
|
||
His class was different.
|
||
|
||
Unique.
|
||
|
||
Dimensional Keeper.
|
||
|
||
No transformation. No elemental resonance.
|
||
|
||
Just raw, unexplored potential.
|
||
|
||
Little had been known about it.
|
||
|
||
And the burden of discovery?
|
||
|
||
That was his alone.
|
||
|
||
Evan smirked, arrogance dripping from his voice. "It’s on."
|
||
|
||
Then—he vanished.
|
||
|
||
No blur. No movement. One moment he was there, the next, he simply wasn’t.
|
||
|
||
Max’s instincts flared.
|
||
|
||
His Three-Dimensional Body screamed, catching the barest whisper of wind—to his right.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Too late.
|
||
|
||
Bang!
|
||
|
||
A force like a battering ram struck his side.
|
||
|
||
And before he could even react, his body was rocketing downward—a human meteor crashing toward the earth.
|
||
|
||
Boom!
|
||
|
||
Dust exploded outward as he slammed into the ground, the earth cracking under the force. A crater formed around him, smoke rising from the sheer impact.
|
||
|
||
The battlefield fell silent for a moment—then chaos erupted.
|
||
|
||
"What the hell just happened?!"
|
||
|
||
"Did anyone see that?!"
|
||
|
||
"One second they were facing off, the next, Max was buried in the ground!"
|
||
|
||
The onlookers stood wide-eyed, their minds struggling to process what they had just witnessed.
|
||
|
||
"He’s too fast!" One gasped, clutching his chest as if that strike had landed on him instead.
|
||
|
||
Another shook his head in disbelief. "Even teleportation takes a moment. But this… it was like Evan was already standing next to Max before he even moved."
|
||
|
||
"No. It was worse than that," Someone whispered, his face pale. "It was like he never moved at all—just appeared and struck. Like time skipped a frame."
|
||
|
||
The weight of those words sent a shiver through the crowd.
|
||
|
||
Because if Evan was that fast—if he could bypass the very act of movement itself—then what chance did Max have? Enjoy more content from Freewebnovel
|
||
|
||
Max stood in the deep crater, his expression dark with focus.
|
||
|
||
Dust settled around him, but he barely noticed.
|
||
|
||
His mind replayed the moment over and over.
|
||
|
||
’What was that?’
|
||
|
||
He had seen Evan vanish. Had felt the whisper of wind.
|
||
|
||
And then—impact.
|
||
|
||
Too fast.
|
||
|
||
His fists clenched. His body, his instincts, even his Three-Dimensional Body—none of them had reacted in time.
|
||
|
||
Not like they did against Amelia.
|
||
|
||
Amelia’s teleportation.
|
||
|
||
He had fought her before.
|
||
|
||
Had tracked her movements, had anticipated her attacks. He had been able to react.
|
||
|
||
But this—this was different.
|
||
|
||
Faster than teleportation? Impossible.
|
||
|
||
Teleportation was instant. Even when Amelia appeared right behind him, he could sense the spatial distortion and move accordingly.
|
||
|
||
His Level 1 Space Aura had helped, as had his body’s connection to space itself.
|
||
|
||
But against Evan?
|
||
|
||
Nothing.
|
||
|
||
Even his Three-Dimensional Body, the very thing that let him perceive attacks from all directions—hadn’t seen Evan.
|
||
|
||
It had only registered wind.
|
||
|
||
Not Evan.
|
||
|
||
"Why the long face?" Evan smirked, arms crossed as he hovered in the air like a deity looking down upon a mere mortal. "Let me guess… You’re astounded by my speed."
|
||
|
||
Max pushed himself up from the crater, dust and debris falling from his shoulders.
|
||
|
||
His gaze locked onto Evan, unreadable. "I am indeed shocked by your speed," he admitted.
|
||
|
||
But then, his eyes narrowed slightly, tracking the way the wind curved and danced unnaturally around Evan’s form. "The wind… it’s helping you, isn’t it?"
|
||
|
||
Evan chuckled, shaking his head. "Helping me?" His laughter carried through the battlefield like a whisper on the breeze. "You’re wrong. The wind isn’t helping me at all. I am the one commanding it."
|
||
|
||
A gust of air surged around him, swirling in tight currents, bending to his very presence. He spread his arms, letting the power course through him.
|
||
|
||
"You see, my class is an A-rank class—Lord of the Wind. What you’re seeing right now…" His smirk widened. "Is my Lord Form."
|
||
|
||
The air itself seemed to tremble at his words.
|
||
|
||
"In this state, I am invincible. Nobody has ever defeated me in this form. And you, Max, are no exception."
|
||
|
||
Then—he vanished.
|
||
|
||
Max was ready this time.
|
||
|
||
Every fiber of his being focused on his Three-Dimensional Body.
|
||
|
||
His senses stretched, searching, calculating.
|
||
|
||
But just like before—nothing.
|
||
|
||
No figure. No blur. No motion.
|
||
|
||
Just… wind.
|
||
|
||
A sharp gust. A whisper of movement. And then—
|
||
|
||
Bang!
|
||
|
||
Max’s body exploded sideways as another devastating strike landed clean on his ribs.
|
||
|
||
The force sent him soaring, a blur crashing through the air. He barely registered the impact before—
|
||
|
||
CRACK!
|
||
|
||
His back slammed into a tree, the entire trunk snapping like a twig upon contact.
|
||
|
||
Bark and splinters exploded outward, the massive tree falling over with a thunderous crash.
|
||
|
||
The battlefield went silent.
|
||
|
||
The crowd watched in shock, their faces pale.
|
||
|
||
"He hit him again… just like that."
|
||
|
||
"Even when Max was ready, he still couldn’t see him move!"
|
||
|
||
"This isn’t just speed—this is something else entirely." |
