Max's grip tightened around his sword.
His eyes sharpened.
"Fine. Let's end this warm-up."
Then—
BOOM!
His 20% Fusion State Aura erupted, surging through his body and blade.
His presence became overwhelming—raw power flowing with absolute precision.
The very air trembled around him.
The 20% Fusion State Aura surrounding Max was far stronger than before.
Back in the temple, it had been powerful—but now?
It was on a completely different level.
Why?
Because Max had added Level 3 Lightning Aura into the mix.
The result—
A Fusion State Aura that crackled with unstoppable force, charged with raw destruction.
A force to be reckoned with.
Then—
A single, decisive sword flash.
Horizon Split!
SWOOSH!
A slash so fast, so unstoppable, that time itself seemed to freeze.
CRACK!
The Water Blades shattered into mist, their edges dissolving under the sheer force of the strike.
The first two golden palms were cleaved clean in half, breaking apart into golden light.
