The battle had already begun.
Exhaling once, Joshua lifted his spear with his right hand and leveled it at the enemy before him. His body that had surpassed Supreme and approached Legendary was no longer simple cellular flesh, but microscopic energy construct formed from countless pure lifeforce that was beginning to wildly absorb and convert all the ions adrift around the world. It turned those ions into simple and unsullied explosive impact force and searing energy, ejecting out of the tip of the swordspear.
One, two, four, eight. With a quiver of his right hand, the Dragonslayer Swordspear blurred, and in an instant, thirty-two layers of spiral spear strikes that seemed capable of penetrating everything streaked across the land, creating moats of lava and devouring the silver knight who drove his horse at him.
