End of Time-Skip, The changes in Max

( Max, during Time-Skip)

For Max, the past 12 years were probably the most definitive years of his life as a warrior.

Whether it was his fighting style, or his combat prowess, both changed drastically as he embraced his Bloodline nature.

After grinding himself through constant battles, whether it was inside the levelling pagoda against hundreds of thousands of beasts or against himself in the mirror world, Max realised that his fighting style which utilised his Bloodline ability and the power of Sanguis was the form where he was the strongest.

It started off as a tingling sensation, a hunch that if he centred himself around a pool of blood, he could create additional layers of offence and defence that would make it more difficult for enemies to approach or ambush him.

It later evolved into the ultimate tool that did not take any damage, did not consume much mana and could deal lethal blows to the enemy.
