The falling dust faded, revealing John standing there on the shattered ground below. His body was bloodied, with several small wounds visible, indicating that he had taken quite some damage in that last attack.
However, the Elder didn't even notice the wounds, as his eyes were locked onto John's. John's blood red eyes stared back at him, as if he were a predator staring at his prey. On top of his head, two small blood red protrusions stuck out. An aura of red and black surrounded him, exuding a dense bloodlust.
Faint red rune lines were visible on his exposed skin, while his body surged with absolute power.
"What the hell is this?" the Meridian Forging Elder couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
