Capítulo 1439: Staff of Defeat
Until the very last mont, nax’s expression remained unchanged. He used his trump card, the mantle covering his shoulders gave him great power and allowed him to use previously inaccessible golden bones.
The limits of his energy had increased, and there were no limits to his power, although he had co quite close to the threshold.
Now, all he could do was watch as the golden arm cut through the wind and the giant palm crashed down on Adam.
“Farewell, Adam,” nax said inwardly as his eyes narrowed. “You managed to make use one of my trump cards. I’m sure our battle would have continued a little longer if you had been careful, but in the end, the outco would have been the sa.”
“Hmm?” nax frowned as a tremor ran through the golden arm. “What the…?”
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Cracks ran through the golden arm as dark flas covered the bottom of the great canyon.
nax’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe Adam had found a way to protect himself. He had believed with all his heart that this was the end!
That’s why nax wasn’t prepared for what happened next:
Whoooooooooosh.
A dark flash shot upward, along the arm, breaking into golden fragnts. For a split second, nax noticed Adam’s figure in the flash, but it was too late.
Adam stood before him as his blue eyes lost their color, becoming completely black like two abysses, deep and dangerous.
Before nax could react, sothing rained down on him.
A golden bone appeared in front of nax as he covered himself with his arm, preparing to block the attack.
TREMBLE!
A shiver ran through his entire body as his face contorted from the enormous, pure power unleashed by a single strike.
The impact threw nax sideways as he moved at trendous speed straight toward the bottom of the canyon.
“Bastard! What have you done?!” nax exclaid as he crossed his arms. “You’re already dead! Nothing will change that, no matter what trump card you play!”
The golden arms remaining on the ground followed nax’s gesture. Adam had dodged their previous attack, but now the situation was different, and nax was personally controlling every movent.
His eyes widened as a dozen golden rays shot toward Adam, who was in the air.
Perhaps a few minutes ago, it would have been difficult for Adam to defend himself or dodge this attack, but now the situation was completely different.
Tap.
He struck the air with his new weapon, and a ripple spread through the air like ripples on the surface of water in several running rings.
“Agh?” nax blinked as Adam disappeared.
At the sa mont, a rumble sounded from the side, causing nax to turn around. His eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Adam destroy one golden arm after another. With each swing of his weapon, golden pieces flew off to the side.
In the middle of his move, his black eyes moved to the side, eting nax’s golden ones.
Tap.
A ripple went out from the dark tip as, in the next mont, sothing slamd right into nax’s stomach.
“ARGH!”
A stream of blood gushed from nax’s mouth, falling on Adam’s cold face.
BAM!
The next strike sent nax to the bottom of the canyon. A cloud of dust and earth rose with a deafening roar, but nax could not allow himself to show weakness even for a mont.
Despite the intense pain, he bounced off the ground and created protective barriers of golden bones around himself, looking around intently.
He was waiting for an attack. He was sure that Adam would continue his successful series of strikes.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
A calm voice ca from the side as a gust of wind blew away the dust cloud, revealing Adam.
“You thought you had already won, didn’t you?” Adam asked, slinging his weapon over his shoulder. His gaze was confident and arrogant, just like nax’s in their last clash. “I’m afraid that was your first big mistake in our fight.”
nax gulped, looking at Adam.
“You… What is that…?” He muttered while his eyes darted around Adam.
He understood that Adam had played his trump card, so he expected sothing significant, sothing devastating from soone like him.
However, Adam’s new ability, or rather his weapon, did not look threatening at all.
Now, in his hands, he held not a sword or even a needle, but a simple, long, black staff. It looked as if it had been carved from a block of black iron and had not even passed through the hands of a blacksmith to finish the job.
The staff had rough edges and blunt tips, they were only slightly pointed, but they could not compare to a real blade.
But that was not all. On Adam’s hands and feet were black boots and gloves made of the sa material. They were just as rough, yet they emitted a deep darkness, as if coming from an ancient source.
“Is this your trump card?” nax muttered. “No, you just created this ability, didn’t you?! Answer !”
Adam nodded.
“You’re right, your sudden power-up put in a difficult situation. I had no choice but to evolve. Though it should have happened back in the city.”
“I see…” nax narrowed his eyes. He was trying to understand what else Adam was capable of. “Tsk. I should have expected this. After all, you are known for becoming stronger through battle.”
Adam tilted his head as he pointed his staff at nax.
“Aren’t you the sa? I can sense it, I can see in your eyes that you’ve been through the sa bloody battles as .”
“Hah, of course you are.” nax chuckled. “Still, I must admit that I wasn’t prepared to take that risk. You evolved just before you beca a bloody stain at the bottom of the canyon. Hah! So that was my mistake!”
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
nax’s aura burst forth, more powerful than ever.
The first few attacks and Adam’s new power caught him off guard. He wasn’t ready for this, but he could easily admit his failure during the fight because his goal was to beco stronger and win. Nothing else mattered.
“Co on! Show your new power! Show what you’re capable of, Adam Vinter!”
Adam sighed as his aura left his body, but sothing was different.
It was no longer a union between darkness and light. Now nax saw only a dark fla, ready to consu him completely if he was careless.
It was ti for a monster like him to feel what it ant to fight against the monster.
