The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 28 – A Feast Before the Storm
Chapter 28 – A Feast Before the StormThe moment Max Vale tapped the smooth metallic surface of his storage device, a faint hum resonated through the room.Troooiinn!A holographic projection flickered to life before him, displaying four distinct items in a grid-like formation. His eyes swept over them quickly—A sleek, rectangular metallic slab.A neatly stacked wad of cash.A small, reinforced briefcase.A tall, oven-like apparatus.Without hesitation, Max selected the fourth option, and in an instant, the large device materialized in front of him, standing at nearly two meters tall. His body swayed slightly as exhaustion threatened to pull him into unconsciousness, but he fought against the pull, reaching out to grasp the handle of the oven-like equipment.With a grunt, he wrenched it open.A rush of warm air carried the rich scent of seasoned meats, freshly baked pastries, and roasted delicacies. The sight before him was almost overwhelming—trays stacked with juicy steaks, golden-
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 29: The Duel That Must Be Won
Chapter 29: The Duel That Must Be WonThe XAO Training Center was a marvel of modern architecture, an emblem of precision and power. The moment Max stepped inside, he was met with an atmosphere that exuded discipline and authority.The vast entrance hall stretched before him, its polished floor gleaming under the soft glow of overhead lights. The entire space was a seamless blend of technology and artistry—sleek, metallic walls adorned with intricate geometric patterns that pulsed faintly with embedded circuits.Two long counters stood at the north and east ends of the hall, manned by receptionists in dark, impeccably tailored uniforms. They worked with quiet efficiency, fingers dancing across holographic panels as they processed information at an almost mechanical pace. Their faces remained neutral, professional—trained to maintain unwavering composure.Above them, the ceiling was a breathtaking fusion of deep sapphire blue and golden hues, mimicking a sky caught in perpetual dusk.

The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 30: Measuring Strength
Chapter 30: Measuring StrengthA lush expanse of greenery spread across the environment, where vibrant patches of flowers and carefully cultivated grasses swayed gently in an artificial breeze. Despite being within a massive enclosed space, the ceiling above was a stunning replica of the sky—a seamless illusion of blue with drifting clouds, making it appear as if one stood beneath the open heavens.Scattered throughout were wooden structures, their architecture reminiscent of traditional bungalows. These compact buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion, each adorned with white sliding doors crisscrossed by black lattice patterns. The entire area was vast—easily spanning the size of ten stadiums combined—yet astonishingly, this elaborate design existed within what was technically a business complex.Max Vale had been taken aback the first time he arrived here. The sheer scale and craftsmanship of the place had been unexpected, yet the ancient aesthetic blended with modern enhancem
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 31: The Duel
Chapter 31: The DuelThe tension in the air was palpable as the gathering settled into a hushed anticipation. Miss Raelyn stood firm, her piercing gaze sweeping across the dueling ground.“We don't have time for unnecessary chatter, so let’s get straight to it… Samsuma, Bola, my student is prepared.” Her voice carried an unwavering authority as she addressed the two men clad in emerald-hued yakuta.The man to the left, a wiry figure with a bald head and a deep, gravelly voice, gave a solemn nod. “We have reviewed the terms of the duel. Rest assured, both parties will be held accountable for their commitments.”His counterpart, a stockier man with stark white hair and a slightly tanned complexion, added in a firm tone, “As agreed, injuries are permitted. Each instructor bears responsibility for their student’s medical care if any harm is sustained. Furthermore, no teacher shall subject their student to mistreatment or humiliation should they be defeated.”Miss Raelyn and the opposing i
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 32 – The Second Challenger
Chapter 32 – The Second Challenger The sharp whistle of wind accompanied the attack as it swept beneath him, causing the hem of his yukata to flutter wildly.Max twisted his body mid-air, the motion fluid and instinctual. His left leg arced downward in a brutal counterstrike, aimed straight for Aurora’s torso.But just as he was about to make contact, the air around her shimmered.From nothingness, streams of water materialized—twelve in total, writhing like serpentine tendrils.They lunged toward him.Three targeted each arm, while six more coiled toward his legs, seeking to ensnare him before he could land.The onlookers collectively held their breath.Suspended mid-air with no ground beneath him, Max appeared to be completely vulnerable. The water tendrils were mere inches from capturing him, their liquid forms shifting with an unnatural agility.There was no way out.Or so they thought.In a flash, Max’s limbs snapped inward, his body folding into itself. He curled into a tight b
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 33 - Instant Defeat!
Chapter 33 - Instant Defeat!“Trying to bait me with such weak provocations won’t work,” Max Vale said, his voice calm but firm as he strode away without so much as a backward glance. His posture remained relaxed, his steps unhurried, as if the challenge wasn’t even worth his time. “Not only would I defeat you with ease, but there’s nothing for me to gain from it. I have far better things to do.”The dismissive tone in his voice cut deeper than any insult.Masuba’s jaw tightened as irritation flared in his chest. He clenched his fists, resisting the urge to lash out right there. Being ignored was worse than being mocked."What if you could gain something from it?" Masuba called out, his voice laced with desperation and challenge. "How about a wager?"This time, Max finally paused. His crimson eyes glinted with intrigue as he turned to face the other student.‘Hmm... I may not be able to steal his abilities, but there are still things I can take from him.’ A small smirk tugged at the c
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 34 - A Meal of Intentions
Chapter 34 - A Meal of Intentions"It's alright if you don't want to say..." Miss Raelyn said, her voice softer now, laced with understanding. Her sharp gaze studied Max, watching the tension in his shoulders.A moment of silence stretched between them. Then, Max exhaled."I plan to be independent," he said firmly.Miss Raelyn tilted her head slightly, her curiosity evident."Independence?" she echoed."Yes, Miss Raelyn," Max nodded, his expression resolute. "I don’t want to stay where I’m not wanted anymore."Her lips pressed together, her expression unreadable."Hmm." She regarded him thoughtfully, tapping a finger against her chin. "So, where do you plan on going?""I’ve done my research," Max said, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes. "And now that I’ve won the duel, I have enough credits to rent an apartment."They came to a halt in front of the dojo, the fading daylight casting elongated shadows on the steps."That’s not a bad idea," Miss Raelyn admitted, crossing her arms. "Y
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 35 – Securing a Place to Stay
Chapter 35 – Securing a Place to StayThe air inside the restaurant was thick with the aroma of seared meats and exotic spices, but Max Vale barely registered it. He was still staring at Miss Raelyn with a dumbfounded expression, his mind grappling with the weight of her words."I'm not telling you to become friends with them," Miss Raelyn clarified, leaning back slightly in her seat. Her piercing gaze locked onto Max’s, carrying an air of quiet authority. "You don’t need to trust them, just keep them in your orbit. Sometimes, power alone isn’t enough—connections can be just as valuable. You never know when you might need someone to handle a problem that strength alone can't solve."She let the words settle, taking a sip from her drink before rising to her feet. The subtle rustle of her coat signaled her readiness to leave.Max exhaled sharply, straightening in his chair. "We’re heading out already?" he asked, noting her movements."Unless you’re planning to order another round?" she

The creature recoiled, its head jerking back as a screech filled the air. Blood, thick and dark with a purplish hue, sprayed from its wounds, staining the surrounding ground.But Max wasn’t finished.His left arm swung around with practiced ferocity, aiming for another brutal follow-up.Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!Max’s claws raked across the serpentine beast’s neck, leaving deep, jagged marks that bled heavily. Each cut he delivered exposed the creature’s innards, the cruelly exposed muscle and bone now visible through the gashes.

Chapter 62: The Power of the Bloodwolf
Chapter 62: The Power of the Bloodwolf Max sprinted across the body of the massive serpentine beast, his hands engulfed in a radiant white glow. The ground trembled beneath its writhing form as it attempted to shake him off. With a sudden lurch, the serpent whipped its enormous tail upward, seeking to throw Max off balance. But instead of being sent sprawling, he used the momentum to propel himself forward, launching through the air with the grace of a seasoned fighter. His body arced high above, and as he descended, his glowing fist was poised for impact. Bang! His strike landed squarely atop the creature’s head, sending a tremor rippling through its massive form. The impact shook the beast slightly, but unlike before, Max wasn’t thrown back as violently. The radiant white light surrounding his hand had absorbed most of the recoil. Landing with a grunt, Max steadied himself, his breath measure

Chapter 61: The Savarinia Serpent Xeon BeastBoom!A catastrophic explosion erupted, unleashing an unstoppable shockwave of raw energy that ripped through the surroundings. The sheer force of the blast shattered everything in its wake, obliterating reinforced structures and vaporizing any remnants of order.The supposedly self-repairing glass walls crumbled into countless fragments before the energy could even physically reach them, their integrity overwhelmed by the sheer power tearing through the space. For several more moments, the energy raged, crackling with chaotic intensity before the devastation finally settled into eerie stillness.As the thick mist gradually dispersed, the extent of the destruction became gruesomely clear. What once stood as an advanced facility had been reduced to nothing more than a ruin of broken technology and lifeless wreckage.Equipment lay in twisted heaps, their once-precise machinery now melted beyond r

Chapter 60: Laboratory FacilityMax sprinted through the sparse forest, his movements swift and silent. The cool night air brushed against his face as he activated his enhanced speed, dashing between the towering trees with barely a sound. After a few powerful strides, he came to a halt before an ancient tree that stood at least twelve meters tall, its rough bark illuminated faintly by the moonlight.Crouching slightly, he gathered power in his legs before launching himself into the air.Thoom!His body ascended five meters instantly, and he reached out, his fingers sinking deeply into the tree’s rough bark. With practiced ease, he pulled himself up, maneuvering past branches and thick foliage until he reached the top. Perched on a sturdy limb, Max let his gaze sweep across the vast landscape, his sharp eyes catching even the smallest movement below.His perception had improved significantly over the past few days, stretch

Chapter 59: Channelling Beast Transformation xeonAs Max made his way toward his apartment, he could feel the weight of countless eyes on him. Whispers rippled through the crowd, their voices laced with curiosity and admiration.“Welcome back, Max!”“Good afternoon! How was school today?”“Hey, Max!”A few teenage girls standing nearby giggled as they greeted him, one of them even winking playfully. Max offered nothing more than a brief nod, his expression unreadable as he climbed the stairs leading to his apartment.It wasn’t unusual for him to receive a warm welcome whenever he returned, but today’s greetings carried a different energy. The sheer enthusiasm in their voices made it clear—they knew. The entire neighborhood must have already heard the news.He had been appointed as the new Observer.As he stepped into the corridor, his sharp gaze landed on a familiar figure standing in front of his apar

Chapter 58: Raelyn’s Suspicion“There will be a three-day interschool exchange event, hosted in Atrihea City’s Grandridge High, scheduled to begin precisely one month from today!”“The Xenith Academy has been formally invited to participate!”“Class Three students will represent us for this occasion!”Principal Wren’s voice thundered through the echoing halls of the auditorium, carried clearly by the built-in speaker systems that lined the walls. His tone was one of ceremonial pride, but the murmurs that followed came from something deeper—excitement, ambition, and barely contained adrenaline.Among the sea of students seated in neat rows, Max Vale leaned back into his chair near the rear of the hall. His lips curled into a subtle smile, one that didn't quite reach his eyes.So it’s finally here… The opportunity I’ve been waiting for—an excuse to cross the border without drawing attention.The auditorium buzzed with ener
Chapter 57: School Announcement
Chapter 57: School AnnouncementSince the downfall of Old Man Daki, the neighborhood had been left vulnerable. None of the Xeon Users in the area had achieved Zeta Rank—except for one individual. But even then, they weren’t a combat-oriented Xeon User, leaving the district largely defenseless against the sporadic incursions of lower-tier Mixedbreeds.Attacks had always been a part of life here, occurring about once a month in the past. However, before Old Man Daki's passing, the frequency had begun to increase, shifting from a monthly nuisance to a near-weekly crisis. It was thanks to his efforts that complete chaos had been kept at bay, but with his death, the situation spiraled out of control.There were fifty-seven buildings in the area that he had once protected. Without him, it was only a matter of time before disaster struck. One fateful night, a Mixedbreed infiltrated one of the apartment complexes, slaughtering an entire family before hel

Chapter 56: A New ResponsibilityMax stood at the doorway of the Vance residence, his sharp eyes scanning the familiar entryway before turning his attention to the young woman before him. Yura Vance, dressed in casual home attire, tilted her head slightly in curiosity at his unexpected arrival."I'm here to see your father. Is he in?" Max asked, his tone neutral yet firm.Yura blinked, momentarily caught off guard, before nodding. "Um, my father? Yes, he's inside."She stepped aside, allowing him entrance. Just as he took a step forward, a deep, commanding voice echoed from within the apartment."Come in, Max."Recognizing Theo Vance’s voice, Max proceeded inside, his boots making barely a sound against the polished wooden floor. The apartment had a warm yet modest aesthetic, its interior illuminated by soft evening light filtering through the window blinds.Theo Vance sat on a navy-blue sofa to Max’s right, his broad fr
Chapter 55: Surprised Appearance
Chapter 55: Surprised Appearance The sharp, feminine voice cut through the air like a blade, carrying such authority that the man gripping Max’s shoulder stiffened involuntarily. A tremor ran down his spine, his fingers momentarily loosening their hold before he forcefully steadied himself.That voice… it couldn’t be—With a slow, almost reluctant motion, Master Jk turned, his breath catching in his throat as he laid eyes on the person who had spoken. His pulse pounded wildly. The composed expression he had worn mere moments ago shattered in an instant.A woman stood before him, her presence undeniable. Long strands of sleek, silver-grey hair cascaded down her back, catching the light as she moved with an effortless grace. She was clad in a short, form-fitting green dress, accentuated by a brown coat draped elegantly over her shoulders. Despite her slender frame, an aura of sheer dominance radiated from her every step.“Young M
