Amongst the darkness.
The creature lunged through the smoke.
This time—
I moved.
Our clash distorted the entire chamber instantly.
My fist collided against its claws.
BOOOOOOM!
The shockwave vaporized everything nearby.
And strength was getting stronger than before.
The Chimera was launched backward again, smashing through multiple palace walls before stabilizing itself midair using black wings formed from corrupted flesh.
I flexed my fingers slightly.
My physical strength alone now exceeded most weapons.
"...This is absurd."
[Your body is adapting rapidly to the Transcendent Rank.]
Jeremiah sounded unusually interested.
The Chimera opened its jaws.
A massive sphere of corrupted energy condensed instantly.
Then fired.
A beam large enough to erase the entire palace surged toward me.
I raised one hand lazily.
The beam stopped.
Not blocked.
Stopped.
The attack trembled violently against an invisible force before collapsing inward.
The Chimera froze.
