Like a swarm, the swords Michael controlled shot towards Zaiden's neck at staggering speed.
Contrary to expectations, he didn't try to dodge. Instead, he stood motionless as the hurled blades pierced his head and body from all sides.
Only to reappear the next second, perfectly fine and standing to the side, almost as if his life shouldn't have ended just a moment ago.
"Certainly an admirable attack for a mere Radiant King. Even the Emperor wouldn't come out unscathed." Zaiden praised him, lifting the Titan's core to eye level.
"Unfortunately, you can never hope to defeat me. Thanks to the influx of spiritual energy I stole from the Titan, I have successfully turned every member of the Immortal Legion into my puppet. Even if you kill me a thousand times, it won't be enough. While I… have to simply kill you once in order to win."
Michael's expression remained undeterred, his eyes beginning to gleam with molten gold.
"Then I will not lose a single time." He declared.
