Bolts danced across his skin, weaving themselves into a full-on lightning armor that radiated with electric fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs were encased in knee-high lightning boots, and his hands were wrapped in glowing gauntlets of pure voltage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcs of lightning surged across the armor that shielded his torso, but light scratches across his face trickled with blood — a sign that even this power had limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGH!\" Max grunted, muscles tensing as he gripped the hawk's talons with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, a lightning arrow from above pierced the air with a high-pitched shriek, striking the beast's skull and blasting a gaping, smoking hole clean through its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\" Vanica shouted again, pointing as a surge of sizzling acid shot toward Max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shimmering bubble of protection formed instantly in front of him — Arthur's work — but it only lasted a heartbeat before hissing away under the corrosive fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it bought Max just enough time to leap sideways, the acid splashing into the ground and melting a deep, blackened crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! These hawks are relentless!\" Vorden growled as another screeching beast descended upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his fingers, a thick, obscuring mist coiled around him like smoke, allowing him to vanish and evade the incoming strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gordon! How long?!\" Arthur barked, sweat beading his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gordon's hands were stretched out, arcane energy swirling before him. A thick purple cloud coalesced in front of him, forming a construct of unknown power, even as hawk beasts continued pouring from the rift in the sky like a nightmarish flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max exhaled sharply, stepping forward. Raising his index finger to the heavens, a massive orb of lightning began to crackle into existence above him, swirling with chaotic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden snap, he flicked his finger forward — and the glowing sphere shot into the sky like divine judgment. It tore through the air with a sonic boom, crashing into the fresh wave of hawk beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding explosion lit up the battlefield as the beasts disintegrated midair, their cries swallowed by thunder. The lightning sphere continued its trajectory, shooting straight into the portal — where a deafening BOOM erupted from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorden stood frozen, eyes blinking rapidly at the scale of destruction. Even Arthur and Gordon stared with jaws slack as Max singlehandedly annihilated over a hundred Level 8 beasts with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments earlier, Vorden and Gordon had returned after evacuating civilians, assuming the worst was over. Clearly, they had miscalculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to close those portals now,\" Max said urgently, already scanning the battlefield. \"If we don't, this will keep happening, and eventually we'll run out of mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes dropped to the lower levels of the arena — and there, amid smoke and chaos, Charlotte was locked in battle with a towering ogre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I need to help Charlotte… and protect Grey,' he thought, preparing to leap into the fray when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max's head snapped around at the scream. Vanica stood frozen, arm trembling as she pointed toward the portal. More hawks — hundreds — were bursting through again, their talons gleaming and shrieks piercing the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh… what the hell?!\" Max muttered, gritting his teeth. Once again, he braced himself for a brutal round of combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, elsewhere in the arena…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Curses,\" Amir muttered, hearing the heavy footfalls of something massive. He lunged backward just in time to dodge a hulking ogre's hammer, which smashed into the ground, cracking the stone beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In retaliation, Amir thrust a metal spear forward with blistering speed — but the ogre met it mid-air with its hammer, deflecting the strike with brute strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, ten ogres charged at once, their thunderous footsteps shaking the earth. Amir exhaled slowly, and two metal swords materialized in his hands. With a burst of speed, he met them head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His twin swords clashed with two of the ogres' weapons at once. The sheer force ruptured the ground, creating a small crater. Amir's feet sank into the dirt as he held firm, his gaze snapping to the eight others closing in like a stampede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting his body, he slammed his palms into the ground — ten metal spikes erupted from beneath, hurtling toward the oncoming ogres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They halted abruptly, some blocking with swords, others smashing the spikes mid-air with massive clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ogre to his left lunged with a sword aimed for Amir's face. He sidestepped, and with practiced precision, lashed out with his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword accelerated unnaturally as it neared the ogre — shattering its weapon and splitting its skull in one brutal strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ARGH! another ogre roared, swinging its massive hammer. Amir ducked and pivoted, the hammer slamming into the ground with a quake-like tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, a massive metal spear plunged down like a divine strike. The ogre spun and braced with its hammer, barely managing to deflect the spear, though it skidded several meters back, cracking the ground beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another ogre's sword crashed into Amir's blade, forcing him to his knees with its strength. Gritting his teeth, he barely held on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, a shadow loomed — another ogre leapt into the air, its giant sword raised high, poised to end him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A serpentine water beast surged forward with immense force, crashing into the airborne ogre mid-descent. The creature slammed into another ogre as it fell, sending both tumbling like rag dolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning crackled in the sky — a barrage of lightning arrows rained down like a storm of vengeance. The ogres broke formation, raising their weapons to block and absorb the onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I'm here too,\" came another voice as Jay and Raze stepped into the chaos from the underground chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll need to borrow your magic for this fight,\" Raze said, tapping Amir on the shoulder without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh… so…so… much power,\" Raze gasped. His skin shifted color, rippling with raw energy. \"I've never felt this before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raze? Wh… what's happening?\" Jay asked, stepping back. But Amir stood firm, eyes locked on the ten ogres preparing to attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening? This is the taste… the sweet taste of power,\" Raze whispered, eyes gleaming. He raised his hand — and from above, a gigantic metal sword materialized, glowing with overwhelming might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar of sound and fury, it crashed down upon an ogre, shattering the earth with a deafening bang. The resulting shockwave blasted outward, slamming into Jay so hard he nearly flew off his feet — if not for Amir catching him just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{A\u002FN}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright! This is the last chapter for the day. Once again, I'm so sorry for the late upload of chapters. I'm just coming in back from school now and I decided to quickly upload before I forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heads up! Chapters might come in late tomorrow because I have an exam tomorrow again. But I will try my best to upload early though.
