"Maria, we don't have time to care about that, that thing up there is obviously targeting Chris. In your opinion, which condition will be more serious?" said Sky as he is about to activate the soul corrosion curse on his left hand.
However, before he could do anything, he felt that his curse magic somehow got restrained.
"Hmm... I guess Ben-chan somehow gave you his answer." said Maria before waving his hand and blasting a huge wave of demonic fire towards the humanoid creatures, successfully pushing them away for a bit.
"Tsk..."
With that 'tsk', Sky unwillingly cracks his knuckles before wearing a pair of knuckle brass. Then, he aggressively ran toward one of the humanoid creatures and landed a hard solid punch along with a powerful magic blast onto the stomach of the humanoid creature. The stomach of the humanoid creature blasted open and formed a big hollowed hole, however, that seemly gravely wound started to heal almost immediately...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the other side of the battlefield, Chris is continuing with the tedious fight with the Thousand Hands where he is at a great disadvantage.
Due to all the complicated life force transferring just now and all the complicated magic he did for the past few days, his body is already in a bad shape. Furthermore, the enemy he is facing right now is extremely powerful, where all of its states are very high, especially for its attack, accuracy, and agility.
All of the Thousand Hands attacks are powerful, fast, and accurate, which gives Chris a hard time dodging its continuous attacks with absolutely no interval to catch a breath. After about thirty minutes of pure dodging and unable to find any breaking point to break through the attacks from all the gigantic hands, Chris is starting to show signs of fatigue and out of breath. Despite of having a strong defense, Chris's body is already covered with various sizes of small wounds while his left prosthetic arm is at its limits and started twitching a bit on its own.
With all these great disadvantages, accidents tend to happen. Just as Chris slowed down his movements for less than three seconds to catch a breath. Three huge hands turned into countless of sharp vines that mercilessly pierced towards Chris in a near lightspeed. With such a high speed and packed attacks, Chris barely escaped it, however, Chris would never expect that this deadly attack is just a feint. As Chris successfully escaped those deadly vines, a high dense beam pierced down from the middle of in between all the deadly hands, aiming directly towards Chris's head...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris is standing inside of a cracked barrier, gasping for air. His right face is covered with blood, and his right eye is badly injured as the eye patch on his right eye had been torn down. Chris is trying to recall how did he survive that deadly 'headshot'. He knows that if no one had blocked the attack for him, that beam will have probably blasted off his head. Then, he felt an obvious weakening in Ben's magic enchantment, he finally realized who is the one that blocked that attack for him.
All of a sudden a magic circle appears above Chris's right eye, glows, and broke down in seconds, that magic circle is not the usual magic circle he will release by piercing his eyes, it's a much bigger and more complicated magic circle.
Follow by the release of that magic circle, an enormous amount of magic blasted out from Chris and covered the whole place, causing a mild earthquake in the area within ten kilometers of him.
The magic pressure released by Chris is so overwhelming that everyone within that area is immobilized and pressed onto the ground by the strong magic pressure, even the Thousand Hands is affected and unable to move, and due to the strong magic pressure, the barrier started wavering and showing signs of breaking.
Then, three pairs of bloody red wings slowly grew out of Chris's back as his eyes glows in golden light while his body is surrounded by a magnificent golden-red aura...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Chris..."
Sky who is also getting immobilized by Chris's immersive magic pressure, tried his best to break through that magic pressure, he knows it really well how dangerous that form of Chris could be especially to Chris's own body.
Sky tediously reached his hand to the pendant on his chest and released most of his magic seal...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, inside of the Secret Base.
With the protection of the double-sided barrier, the magic pressure effect of Chris isn't that strong, only some of them with lower magic levels are affected. Jason and Dominic are holding and supporting Ben who is on the verge of collapsing but giving his best to maintain the magic balance support for Sky and the others, blood can be seen dripping out from his pale lips, apparently, he is at his limit and wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. Both Jason and Dominic are astonished by that form of Chris.
"What happened to Chris? He looks very different." said Dominic.
"I had heard about it once, this seems to be one of my master's ultimate forms, but I have never seen it before." said Jason.
Hearing the conversation between Jason and Dominic, Ben remained silenced, he knows everything about that form of Chris.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the battlefield, Chris calmly picked up the sword he dropped earlier during the single-sided maiming, he grabbed the hilt of the sword firmly as some bloody red patterns started to glow on that Ten Thousand Bucks Free Gift...

Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
