Chapter 33: Black Armor
As Arc witnessed Ethan standing tall and unharmed, a seed of fear took root within him. It gnawed at his confidence, pushing him to reveal his ultimate form. With a tremor in his voice, he uttered, "I don't know what you are, but I must unleash everything. Even the Demon King of these worlds could not best me in this form."
Ethan couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of the "Demon King." He found the name rather corny and lacking in originality. With a smirk, he replied, "Demon King, huh? Well, I suppose I should be honored to face such a formidable opponent. Show me everything you've got."
In response to Ethan's challenge, Arc's body underwent a remarkable transformation. His once formidable appearance was now cloaked in a full suit of purple and black armor, emanating an aura that made the ground tremble beneath their feet. The sheer presence of his new form sent ripples of power through the surrounding landscape.
Arc spoke with an air of certainty, "No matter how strong you are, every attack I unleash in this form is multiplied by the last. Even if you surpass me in raw power, I will catch up eventually."
Ethan couldn't help but smirk at Arc's boastful claims. "So, you need a special form just to keep up? How fascinating," he retorted, taunting his opponent. As Arc grew tired of Ethan's banter, he summoned a sword entirely devoid of color, a stark embodiment of pure darkness.
With a swift motion, Arc swung the sword, aiming to cleave Ethan in two. But Ethan's agility proved unmatched as he effortlessly dodged the attack, causing the blade to slice through a massive mountain, splitting it in half. A thrill of excitement surged through Ethan as he witnessed the devastating power unleashed by Arc.
"Ah, now we're getting somewhere," Ethan remarked, a glint of anticipation gleaming in his eyes. The challenge of an opponent capable of such destructive force invigorated him. The chapter came to a close, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eager to witness the unfolding battle between these two titans, each driven by their own motivations and wielding unimaginable power.
