Blood streamed from Ashton’s body. He had turned himself into a target, standing just one step from death.
“W–What is he doing? Has Ashton lost his mind? Why would he drop his guard? Is he trying to die? What’s the difference between this and suicide?”
“He’s tanking the attack head–on! He’s betting that the cost will allow him to close the distance and turn defense into offense. He’s betting his life on a single window of opportunity. It’s the only chance he has left.”
“He’s throwing away his defense just for a chance to strike? Is that genius or a lunatic? I don’t think he can withstand the Sonic Decimation for much longer. His body will be completely riddled with holes, and he’ll die a gruesome death.”
“His physical resilience is the only card he has left to play. He’s going all in, betting everything on his ability to withstand the onslaught and reach Flint. It all comes down to whether he can reach Flint before he dies.”
“Arrogant fool!” a sycophant hissed. “He underestimated the divine realm’s power. Soon, he’ll be reduced to nothing. He’s doomed.”
“Just die already and stop struggling.”
Blood sprayed from Ashton’s body as the sonic force tore into him. The pain hit hard enough to rip through his nerves, sharp and merciless.
But even as he endured what felt like a thousand cuts, his expression remained unchanged. He kept his head held high and back straight, as he dragged his battered feet forward, step by step, toward Flint.
Ashton knew where his advantage lay and what he had to do to win. The torture was triggering a dark, near–death euphoria. It sharpened his ocular technique and pushed his consciousness into a focused, almost detached state.
He was gambling that the Drakeborne lineage within him, together with his special constitutions and spiritual energy, would allow his body to survive the divine realm’s killing intent a little longer.
As he forced the distance closed, Flint’s killing intent intensified. The sonic waves turned colder, the frequency sharpening into a lethal focus.
In an instant, Ashton’s body was pierced relentlessly, leaving fresh holes torn through his body. Countless drops of blood gushed from his wounds.
Instead of defending himself, the only thing he did was use his ocular technique to avoid the most lethal strikes. He continued to advance at full speed, focusing his power and relentlessly closing the distance.
As Ashton drew closer, drenched in blood yet still advancing, Flint felt something unfamiliar rise within him.
“Go to hell!”
His voice was strained, betraying his inner turmoil. Knowing he could no longer hold back anymore, he focused all his divine realm power and pushed the Sonic Decimation to its absolute limit.
Within seconds, there wasn’t a single patch of unbroken skin left on Ashton’s body. Blood streaked across him in jagged lines, wounds tearing through flesh. Even near his heart, small punctures had opened under the relentless pressure.
Under such an onslaught, his aura weakened rapidly. Each step forward grew heavier, as if an immense weight were pressing down on him from every direction.
The ground shattered beneath his feet with every stride, fractures spreading in dense webs across the arena floor.
But surprisingly, his expression remained unchanged. It was as though the injuries were meaningless and the agonizing pain did not exist.
Still, he kept moving forward. He was less than a yard away from pulling Flint into his attack range. No matter what it cost, he

would hold on until the very last moment.
“Ashton…”
Tears streamed down Kayla’s face before she even realized it.
Neil and the legionnaires stood in solemn silence, their faces carved with deep respect.
“How is he even standing?” someone muttered. “All the prodigies from the Empyrean Sentinel, Dominion Vanguard, and the Legion pale in comparison.”
Within Leona, the Wyvernborne lineage stirred violently, as if drawn by something unseen. A strange pull compelled her toward Ashton, an urge to understand him. Her heartbeat quickened.
Without fully realizing it, she was already falling for him.
