Instead, his body warped and stretched into something far more monstrous, a massive demonic lion, towering and primal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel and the others felt it instantly. His power had increased tremendously, far beyond what it had been before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron threw back his head and roared, the sound shaking the air around them. \"I’m going to kill you all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, he lunged. The ground cracked beneath his weight, splintering as he charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel rushed to meet him head-on. She drove a punch straight into his body, but it barely made an impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it only fueled his rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron roared again, louder this time, and swung his massive paw at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force behind it sent Rachel skidding back, barely avoiding the full brunt of the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch... so that didn’t work,\" she muttered under her breath. \"And it just made him more agitated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without getting close, it was obvious Haron wasn’t thinking clearly anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above him, Sianor hovered in the air, gaze locked on the rampaging beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t hold back,\" he called out. \"Everyone, give it everything you’ve got.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, light gathering and condensing above his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pulsed with intensity, growing brighter by the second. \"If he’s lost control... then he’s too dangerous to leave alive. We need to end this quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floren exhaled sharply and snapped his fan open with a crisp flick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" he said, a faint grin tugging at his lips. \"Let’s finish this before we’re the ones who die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia said nothing. She simply nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the wind surged around her, spiraling upward and lifting the others into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield trembled under the rising pressure of their combined power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor struck first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding beam of light tore down from above, crashing into Haron with devastating force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia followed immediately, summoning a raging thunderstorm that roared to life overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolts of lightning cascaded down in rapid succession, each strike slamming into Haron’s massive form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Floren closed his eyes, focusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His illusion magic slipped past the physical, aiming straight for Haron’s mind, twisting perception, distorting reality, seeking to break what little control remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of their attacks landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion that followed shook the entire arena, a deafening roar of light, thunder, and energy colliding at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, there was silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low, rumbling growl cut through the haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dust cleared, his massive form came into view once more... almost completely unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only faint marks marred his body, barely noticeable against his dark, demonic hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor frowned. \"Damn... even my anti-demon technique didn’t do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s expression tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... it’s not that it didn’t work. It’s just...\" She hesitated, then finished grimly, \"He’s become too powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel clenched her fists, eyes fixed on Haron. \"Then we keep going. Call the others. Everyone unleashes everything you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor gave a sharp nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion watched the battle unfold, then turned to Heinkel. \"Boss... do we need to step in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel didn’t answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze remained fixed on the battlefield, observing as Rachel and the others clashed with Haron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air trembled with the force of their blows, but Heinkel stood unmoving, as if weighing something far beyond the fight itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he shook his head. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion blinked. \"No?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel’s expression didn’t change. \"We use the same demonic mana as Haron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pelion’s feathers ruffled slightly as he processed that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we interfere,\" Heinkel continued, \"We won’t be fighting him... we’ll be feeding him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\" Pelion murmured, glancing back at the battlefield. \"Then what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heinkel exhaled softly. \"Like I said, we observe the situation first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed, tracking every movement below. \"We’ll move once a clear winner emerges.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron was still rampaging, crushing everything in his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel darted in again, striking with precision, but her attack did nothing. It didn’t even slow him down. If anything, it only agitated him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had lost his mind, the pain didn’t make him flinch. It only drove him deeper into frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the battlefield, Sianor hovered in place, gathering light energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swirled around him, condensing into a blazing sphere, like a miniature sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Sorian and the other Solmira members raised their hands, channeling their energy upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of power surged into the glowing mass, feeding it, intensifying its radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s eyes sharpened. He brought his hands down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Solar Finality Descent]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun above him flared, then began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It descended slowly at first, then faster, blazing toward Haron with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked beneath its heat, the air itself screaming as it burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact swallowed everything in light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, there was nothing but searing brilliance, an all-consuming radiance that erased sound, shadow, and form alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the light began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the devastation stood Haron. Smoke curled from his body, but he was still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor frowned, disbelief tightening his expression. \"Damn it... just how strong is his body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, Haron remained still. Then his breathing steadied, his posture straightening as control returned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wild frenzy in his eyes dimmed, replaced once more by cold, calculating intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a low chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all?\" His voice dripped with disdain. \"You call this resistance? You’re nothing but insects trying to bite a king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Haron threw his head back and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Royal Roar]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound exploded outward, far more potent than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crashed over the battlefield like an invisible tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Rachel and Dahlia, the owner of the God Physique, staggered under its force, their movements faltering for a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the others... They weren’t so fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they were forced to their knees, bodies trembling as the pressure bore down on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some collapsed entirely, unable to even lift their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haron laughed, his voice echoing with cruel amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... You humans truly are insignificant. There’s nothing you can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... A voice cut through the tension from above. Mysterious yet unmistakably familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need any help, guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-06-06T11:12:31.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd441128417be273e489c594b00633f847f77ee9d9b199681c33a5e6025d8798","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-552","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-250",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
