A crease between Steinar's brows deepened. “You've underestimated this arcane array. You managed to escape that time merely because of my carelessness. But today, I won't let you off so easily again.”
“Really? I'd like to have a taste of it, then!” Jared arched an eyebrow.
“Well, I shall grant you your wish.”
Finishing his words, Steinar yelled, “Sacrifice the formation!”
As his words fell, four Martial Arts Grandmasters of the Shalvis family exchanged glances and grabbed their shortswords on the ground. Their martial energy, summoned by the arcane array, flowed out from their body rapidly.
The absorbed martial energy channeled toward Steinar's body as if the arcane array had become a part of him.
Soon, the four Martial Arts Grandmasters collapsed to the ground, their bodies seemingly sucked out of blood and flesh, turning them into a mummified state.
“Hahaha! I wonder if you can still act so insolent like before.” Steinar broke out into a maniacal laugh.
Boom!
The wave of power came crashing toward Jared's body, and like a kite without a string, he flew out at once.
Many of the glowing scales on his body had fallen out underneath the force of that blow.
“Hah! Like I've said, I have ultimate power within my arcane array,” Steinar said triumphantly upon seeing Jared's state.
Having absorbed the martial energies of four other Martial Arts Grandmasters, Steinar's capabilities had skyrocketed to the standard of a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“Ultimate power, huh?” Jared slowly got up. The glow on his body was still as bright as before as the scales that had fallen off began to grow out again.
Jared's completely unscathed appearance instantly left Steinar in extreme disbelief.
“H-How is it possible that you can still stand on your feet?”
The expression on Steinar's face turned ugly. He could not believe that the strike that had gathered the martial energy of five Martial Arts Grandmasters had failed to finish off Jared.
“I'll show you what it truly means to hold the ultimate power.”
Raising his Dragonslayer Sword high up into the air, the crimson flames raging intensely on the weapon caused intense heat to envelop the venue.
