Maximilian’s expression was as hard as iron, his eyes sharp. “Zeke, righteousness and evil have never coexisted. Today, this place will be your burial ground.”
Zeke suddenly burst into laughter. “Hahaha… Maximilian, I just didn’t want to waste time with you. Don’t think I’m really afraid of you.”
“Hmph, show me what you’ve got.” Maximilian’s fighting spirit surged, his face full of fervor.
“Alright!” Zeke took a deep breath, and his body began to crackle as if beans were popping.
Maximilian was taken aback. What is this…
Zeke’s entire body rapidly swelled, bursting through his robe. The muscles on his face twitched grotesquely, changing unpredictably.
The scene was truly terrifying.
Soon, Zeke transformed into a giant over two meters tall, with bulging muscles like cast steel. His face was hideous and monstrous, resembling a demon.
Most terrifyingly, Zeke’s skin, eyes, and hair turned the color of blood, exuding a menacing aura that changed the very atmosphere.
This was no longer a man but a devil!
Even the usually fearless Maximilian couldn’t help but turn pale and tremble. “You… you actually turned yourself into a demon. Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”
“Hahaha…” Zeke laughed wildly. “As long as I can become stronger, what does it matter if I turn into a demon!”
“Hmph, Zeke, don’t think that by turning into a demon, I’ll be afraid of you. Today, either you die or I perish!”
“Stop pretending. Die!” Zeke roared, and his giant hand struck down.
A torrent of blood-red energy surged towards Maximilian.
Maximilian was shocked and quickly formed a silver-white barrier with his strongest fighting spirit.
This time, Maximilian couldn’t display his usual might and was struck by Zeke’s palm, causing his fighting spirit to shatter. He was sent flying like a rocket and crashed into the ground.
With a loud bang, dust flew everywhere, and Maximilian disappeared beneath the ground.
The power of Zeke’s strike was terrifying.
“Hahaha…” In mid-air, Zeke laughed maniacally. “In heaven and earth, I am supreme. Whoever dares to stop me will be destroyed!”
For a moment, the vast night sky was filled with rolling blood clouds and a menacing aura that seemed to turn the heavens into a land of doom.
Suddenly, someone behind Zeke snorted coldly. “Ridiculous. Do you think you’re a god?”
“Who is it!?” Zeke turned angrily to see someone standing proudly in the air. It was Leo.
“So it’s you.” Zeke sneered. “Ignorant brat, if you had fled, it would have been fine. But you dare to come here to die.”
Leo said nothing more and swiftly raised his hand, releasing several Talismans.
Zeke didn’t dare be careless and frantically attacked in mid-air to break the Talismans’ assaults.
At that moment, Leo quickly retreated as a brilliant silver light burst from the ground and shot towards Zeke.
It was Maximilian!
“You’re still alive!?” Zeke was both shocked and furious. “Let’s see how tough your life is!”
Zeke raised his hand and unleashed a torrent of blood energy like a meteor towards Maximilian.
In mid-air, blood energy clashed with fighting spirit, causing chaos in the sky.
Amidst the chaos of clouds and blood mist, a surge of silver fighting spirit suddenly leaped into the air and stopped at the cloud’s edge.
Maximilian roared loudly, his voice growing louder and more powerful like a lion’s roar or a dragon’s howl.
Then, Maximilian’s body rapidly transformed, his muscles twisting just like when Zeke turned into a demon earlier.
Could Maximilian also be turning into a demon?
Soon, Maximilian’s transformation stopped.
Maximilian became a giant with bulging muscles and a ferocious expression.
However, his skin was golden, even his head and eyes were golden.
For a moment, Maximilian seemed to have turned into a golden-armored giant, radiating golden light and exuding divine power. His righteous appearance was vastly different from Zeke’s demonic form.
What was going on?
Zeke was dumbfounded.
“Hahaha…”
Transformed Maximilian laughed heartily.
With his laughter, strong golden fighting spirit emanated from his golden body, sweeping away all the evil energy in the sky.
Such terrifying power!
Zeke was horrified. “You… what is this…”
“Zeke, this is Frenzy State. It instantly boosts combat power several times through transformation.”
Zeke paused for a moment and then laughed. “So it’s Frenzy State. I’ve vaguely heard of it before. But do you really think this can defeat my ‘Undying Form’?”
Maximilian sneered. “Ordinary Frenzy State has short duration and low power. Naturally, it can’t compete with your ‘Undying Form.'”
“But mine is not an ordinary Frenzy State; it’s a higher-level ‘Stoneheart Fury.'”
“‘Stoneheart Fury’?” Zeke looked puzzled as if he had never heard of it before.
“That’s right.” Maximilian took a deep breath. “A body as hard as stone, indestructible. With immense power that breaks all obstacles. This should be enough to counter your Undying Form.”
Zeke wouldn’t believe it easily. “Fine, let me see how powerful you really are.”
With a roar, Zeke’s bones crackled loudly as he unleashed his full demonic power, ready for an all-out battle.
Maximilian’s eyes flashed as golden fighting spirit erupted from his body, illuminating the night sky.
Leo distanced himself from Maximilian and Zeke again.
With a demonic roar and a long howl, the two clashed once more in mid-air.
A golden “sun” carrying thunder flew from the west, shaking the heavens and earth.
A blood-red bird carrying endless demonic energy flew from the east, its blood mist churning and demonic aura surging.
The outcome would be decided in an instant.
Finally, the sun and the bird collided in the middle of the battlefield, creating an astonishing burst of light.
A massive mushroom cloud formed amidst rolling thunder, expanding rapidly and engulfing the vast valley.
After everything settled down, Leo reappeared in the valley.
The valley was filled with craters of various sizes as if struck by meteorites.
Leo hovered in the air and shouted loudly. “Are you still alive?”
After shouting for a long time, there was no response from the valley.
Could they have perished together!?
In his panic, he suddenly saw a surge of silver fighting spirit rising from the southeast corner and exploding into brilliant light in mid-air.
Maximilian was still alive!
Leo was overjoyed and flew over.
Sure enough, amidst the rubble, he found Maximilian.
At this moment, Maximilian’s face was pale and covered in wounds. A mysterious silver fighting spirit surrounded his head as he sat cross-legged in meditation.
