John prepared for his next destination — the South American continent, specifically Brazil.He ordered the North American Alliance forces to head toward Europe and assist there as much as possible."If there's a chance to kill the Disaster there, don't hesitate to do it," he instructed.
Silver, just like before, suggested heading to Africa to face the Phoenix, and John didn't refuse this time either.
John immediately took off toward Brazil.Unlike before, he already knew the location of the South American Alliance, which allowed him to reach his destination much faster.
Of course, John's path wasn't empty — monsters of all kinds roamed everywhere.However, only Disaster-level beasts posed any real threat to him.Those creatures needed only a single moment of John's time to be slain.
After a few hours, John reached Oscar and his alliance.He instantly activated his Max-Level Weapon Mastery skill to intervene in the first wave, just like before.
John didn't possess a massive number of skills — but he had countless ways to use them.For example, his Max-Level Elemental Magic could be adjusted depending on the situation.If he wanted an offensive spell like Dual Elemental Magic: Fire Rain, he would modify it for maximum destructive power.But if he needed defense, like Absolute Elemental Defense, he would shift his casting toward stronger protection.
His Advanced Healing Magic followed the same principle — using nature-element mana to heal most wounds.Battlefield Magic such as Seal of Heaven and Earth was another example — forming an entire battle arena using all elemental energies!It wasn't an easy skill to use, but after centuries of training, for John it was second nature.
John's current skills were:
Max-Level Elemental Magic
Max-Level Passive Weapon Mastery
Max-Level Passive Pain Resistance
Max-Level Passive Regeneration
Max-Level Lightning Speed
Max-Level Body Enhancement (boosts stats by 100x)
Max-Level Passive Resistance
Max-Level Weapon Creation
Max-Level Meditation (used to form the Infinite Mana Circle)
Memory Search Lv.30
Ashura Transformation (Max) / Ashura Division Lv.50
Max-Level Instant Teleportation
Perception Lv.30 (Copy Slots: 3 | Copied Skills: Hellfire Magic, God of Lightning, [Empty])
His passive skills didn't require activation — they were always active, consuming no mana.And even if they did, John's Infinite Mana Circle made mana problems irrelevant.
After a few minutes, John and the awakened ones defeated the first wave — just like last time.Oscar didn't know who John was in this timeline, so John introduced himself and explained about the North American Disaster and how he defeated it.
He then ordered Oscar and the alliance to evacuate immediately before the second wave arrived."How do you know about the second wave?" Oscar asked in surprise, since he had told John nothing about it in this life."I have a special skill that lets me search through monsters' memories," John answered.He knew this information from his past life — but he didn't want to reveal his Rewind skill to anyone.
"In any case, you must leave quickly. I'll face them alone. I'm confident I can defeat them. Don't worry."John's tone left Oscar no room to argue."Understood. Let's go, men!" Oscar immediately obeyed — he knew he would only be a burden if he stayed.
The alliance forces retreated faster than in the previous timeline, which made John feel much more at ease for the battle ahead.
A few minutes later, White appeared — just like last time.This time, John was ready.He activated his Ashura Transformation, but this time, it was different — a single head, two arms only.Still, it carried the same features: white hair, crimson eyes, and red skin — though without the extra heads and six arms.That was because of the Ashura Division skill, which created three miniature Ashura forms, each possessing 50% of John's original strength.
As soon as White appeared, he unleashed a massive wave — like a tsunami.But with John's techniques, he managed to stop it from striking the city.
White took to the skies, and John followed instantly using Flight and Lightning Speed."Let's see if you're as tough as last time!"John fused Hellfire, Lightning, and Wind Magic into his Sunblade.
Swift slashes tore through the air — leaving deep marks on White's enormous body, unlike before.The difference came from several factors: the triple-element fusion and, above all, the Sunblade, a Mythic-ranked weapon.The gap between Mythic and Legendary ranks might only be one tier — but the power difference was vast, enough to let John's attacks actually wound White.
At once, White turned his head toward John and began unleashing sonic waves."So you're starting that again," John muttered, already prepared.
He used Instant Teleportation to appear on White's back — the farthest range he could manage.Teleportation worked only within his precise field of vision.
Once there, he activated his new defensive technique — Triple Elemental Defense: Earth, Fire, and Wind.The fire and earth combined to form molten armor, while the wind reduced the pressure of the sonic waves and kept the molten layer heated to sustain its power.
Teleporting behind White weakened the sonic attacks further, since they originated from White's head.The combination of position and triple-layer defense rendered the attacks nearly harmless.They caused some internal vibration damage, but John, in Ashura form, had a body far beyond human limits.
"If you're done attacking… I believe it's my turn!"When the sonic waves stopped, John counterattacked.
With his Instant Teleportation fused into his swordsmanship, John's slashes rained down on White like a storm.Wounds spread rapidly across White's massive form.
Unlike their previous battle, John now had both the defense to endure and the power to strike back effectively.Still, the wounds — though deep — were small compared to White's massive body.To kill him, John would need to land millions of blows.Even at his current speed, he had delivered only a few thousand.
If this continued, it would take hours to finish White — and by then, Moon would join the fight.Fighting two Disaster-class beasts at once wasn't an option.
"I need more speed… Skill: God of Lightning!"Lightning burst from his body, doubling his speed.
In mere seconds, hundreds of thousands of new wounds covered White's body.
For the first time, White screamed — releasing continuous sonic waves, desperate to push John back."It seems those hits really got to you. Triple Elemental Defense!"
The battle lasted barely one or two minutes — yet the advantage was clearly John's.Still, White refused to stop firing sonic attacks.Though weak, their cumulative effect would soon cause trouble again.
After about a minute, White's attacks ceased.John, however, had taken internal damage — his organs ached, and his mind was hazy once more.
"These attacks are still annoying… but it looks like he's done for now."John knew the sonic waves were exhausting for White to maintain — that's why he stopped.
Seeing the chance, John went on the offensive again.For a full minute, he struck relentlessly — about five hundred thousand slashes.
Then, White roared again — resuming his assault with erratic sonic blasts."He's not recovered yet… he's pushing himself even further."
John took light internal damage, but his Super Regeneration skill healed him quickly.He teleported away from the sound waves and reactivated Triple Elemental Defense.
White continued for another thirty seconds before finally stopping.That was his limit after the previous strain.
John canceled his defensive spell — only to notice mon appearing a few meters away.
