A mushroom cloud of smoke billowed into the sky, accompanied by a powerful shockwave that rippled outward.
As the smoke dispersed, an explosion rocked the area within it.
Souta relentlessly swung his weapon at Paente, undeterred by his opponent's counterattacks. Enduring the blows with his Blood Armor, Souta focused solely on pressing the attack. Since becoming the Crimson Twilight Emperor, he had tapped into the latent traits of his race, granting him enhanced endurance and resilience. However, he had yet to fully explore these newfound abilities, as Paente's relentless assault caught him off guard.
"You wretch!" Paente growled through gritted teeth, delivering a powerful punch to Souta's stomach.
Bang!
Souta was sent flying hundreds of meters away, struggling to regain his footing.
