Arran’s attack was interrupted, and he was pushed back by a powerful gust of wind that blew him a hundred meters away. It took a while before Arran was finally able to stabilize himself in the air. After that, he looked at the Furor and observed the changes in him.Right now, an extraordinary change was currently happening to Arran's opponent. On the stage, with powerful gusts of wind swirling around his body, a powerful force was rising from within the Furor, causing his body to expand and grow rapidly.In a short few seconds, the Furor, who was originally three meters tall and dwarfed over Arran, was now over five meters in height and incredibly burly, and he continued to grow.Five meters!Six meters!All the way up to eight meters in height!There was no sign of the Furor stopping his rapid growth. Only when he was a little over eight meters did the Furor’s change subside. But at this point, he was nothing more than a towering giant looming over the masses.Before the hulking gian
When Arran saw the height of his opponent, his expression became complicated. Arran felt the urge to curse... he didn’t know what to say at all about this sudden development.The way things changed was too sudden for Arran. One moment he was facing a three-meter-tall giant, and now he was up against a literal monster.That’s right, monster.That was the only word Arran could use to describe the eight-meter-tall monstrosity before him...But Arran was not given any time to wrap his head around this. Before he knew it, the Furor stretched out his massive hand and lunged at Arran. He threw a powerful fist at Arran.“Shit!” Arran cursed and rapidly dodged. With a flap of his wings, Arran managed to retreat in time to prevent being hit by that punch. But although Arran dodged the punch, he could not avoid the airwave that came blasting at him.It was Arran who was caught in a storm that was almost as fierce as the one he encountered during the first stage of the chosen ceremony.Trying v
With a goal in mind, Arran immediately took action. He quickly set his sight on his target.Among the many wounds Zaburi made on the Furor’s body, the most obvious one right now was the large cut in the Furor’s chest that Arran had made with his last attack.Prior to his growing huge, the wound had extended all the way from the Furor’s left shoulder to his lower abdomen. But now the wound was nothing more than a glaring red mark at the center of his chest, while the others were almost too negligible to notice. Normally, if Arran wanted to guarantee a successful hit, it was certain that he should aim for the most obvious spot. But this spot was too obvious, and the Furor was sure to be guarding this spot vigilantly. If Arran wanted to get close to that spot, it would be very difficult to do so.But the thing is, for Arran, the size of the wound didn’t matter. With his senses, even the most minuscule spot was as prominent as a huge red target on the Furor’s body.Arran’s target was in
Clang!The sound of metal hitting against each other resounded around the entire hall. Immediately, people turned to see what had happened.What they saw surprised them.In the air, just in the blind spot of the Furor’s jaw, Arran could be seen flying in the air. His body was poised to strike and his straight sword had landed on the Furor’s shoulder.Many people were wondering how Arran had suddenly appeared there. After all, he had just been in a precarious situation not long ago and was on the verge of people crushed between the palms of the Furor’s palms.But much to everybody’s surprise, Arran suddenly pulled a reversal and appeared in another position.Without giving it much thought, everybody came to the conclusion that Arran had used a displacement skill. He had to have done so, as that was the only way to move from one position to another in an instant.In the end, how had Arran really done it?This was the question on many people’s minds. Most of them had not seen what kind o
Option one was a bust. In that case, it was time to employ option two... the brute force method.Like its name suggested, option two simply meant Arran was going to use power to fight against power.Since softness did not work, then he would hit hard against hard to see who was tougher.The stronger opponent would come out on top!How was Arran going to achieve this?By bringing out his final trump card.Like all trump cards, Arran had only recently developed this power, and he had yet to master it. Before now Arran had also never used this power, so he didn’t know exactly how well it would fare against the Furor.There was basically no preparation time for Arran to use his trump card. As soon as there was enough distance between himself and the Furor, Arran immediately began.Suddenly, the air around Arran changed and, as if time had come to a stop, everything froze.The movement of air had stilled, and the subtle sounds that filled the hall disappeared. With Arran as the center, the
Arran had broken through to the third foundational stage, the Conceptual Actualization stage, by actualizing a concept. He had effectively caught up with his peers, who had trained for a much longer time than Arran had.To be honest, this breakthrough happened a long time ago. All the way back to when the Shades opened to abyss gate to invade the Aeth during the chosen ceremony.At the time, as Arran peered into the abyss, the overload of information that flooded Arran’s senses caused him to undergo a phenomenon known as an information singularity. This phenomenon occurs when one's knowledge converges together as a single form to change one's perception of reality.In Arran’s case, information that he had never known became available to him in a single instant, causing an influx of knowledge that violently changed his perception of reality.Because he hadn’t gone through the normal process of accumulating knowledge slowly, although Arran’s perception of reality had changed, he could n
Flame Totem’s Phantom Dance...This was the name of Arran’s actualized concept. This was an ability that followed the concept of a wild flame not blowing out in the face of strong wind. It gave Arran the ability to see through the trajectories of the world and allowed him to maneuver between these trajectories. At the same time, it also embodies the fierceness of a furnace fire that grows hotter as more air is fed to it.The essence of Arran’s actualized concept is the fire training manual he had received when he first entered the academy, the Offering Dance Of The Flame Totem. This manual that had been created by a genius senior of Kingsman academy by imitating the natural talent of a race of primitive mortals was the key material on which this concept was modeled after.The Offering Dance Of The Flame Totem is an extraordinary training manual that not only contains methods to absorb energy used to refine the body but also comprehends the law of fire by imitating a dancing flame. The
Truly, the number of times Arran had shocked everybody was hard to count. How could he come up with one new surprise after the other?This latest surprise was also particularly deadly.Arran, being able to totally disregard the Furor’s defense, spelled the end of this controversial duel. It was simply because the Furor had no moves left to play.The Furor’s defense barrier was the only thing he could rely on to stand against Arran right now, since no matter what he did, Arran ended up coming up with more ways to defeat him.The Furor did not know how the battle ended. He was still in a daze at the time. The only thing he could remember at the end was feeling a sharp pain in his arm as Arran’s sword landed on it.Precisely, Arran’s sword had landed on an exposed wound made by Zaburi previously. The result was that Reaver was activated and the massive arm of the Furor was directly amputated.As soon as Arran cut off the Furor’s arm, that marked the end of the battle. Since this was just
