Gravity warped, enemies multiplied, and the challenges demanded insight as much as strength. Some Regalons staggered. Others bared their teeth and grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then came Round 13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield was a colossal canyon cracked open like the jaw of a sleeping titan. Below, a molten river flowed, glowing like a second sun in the depths, its heat warping the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the challenge was not just endurance or killing power — but survival against what could not be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible predators stalked the canyon, their killing intent sharp as needles, their attacks timed to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almond stood at the edge of the cliff, twin swords hanging loosely in his hands. His breath was calm — unnervingly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last rounds, he had fought with desperation. Swinging harder, faster, as if brute strength could force the world to yield to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he stopped chasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply... stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he heard it. Not with ears, but with something deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phenomenon began to manifest around him, as if the world was ackowleding the truth he shaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of air shifting. The tension of space warping around him. The subtle hiss of mystical sand grinding against the fabric of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that moment, it clicked..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flickered across his skin — not bright, but sharp, snapping between the grains of sand at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void rippled around him, swallowing the heat, muting the noise, sharpening his focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand rose into the air, spiraling around him like a miniature storm, forming intricate shapes before being drawn into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rune appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It burned into existence on his chest, a jagged, shifting sigil of black and gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its lines pulsed like veins of molten metal, its center a hollow void that seemed to drink the light around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rune of Power: [Ashenveil Rift].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A unique fusion consisting of the aspects of Void, Space, Lightning, and Sand, weaved together into a passive power that shaped into a rift around him, having a comprehensive power for him to wield alongside his techniques and skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almond opened his eyes. They glowed faintly, like two black stars wreathed in gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first assassin struck from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike landed a meter away from where Almond stood, as though the world itself had bent to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved — but it was not a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space he occupied fractured, like a mirror breaking without sound, and he simply appeared behind the assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His twin swords cut through the air, and the very air screamed — a shriek of lightning tearing reality open for an instant. The predator was gone, erased in a streak of sand-laced lightning that left a burning scar on the canyon wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rune pulsed, its power feeding him, thrumming with chaotic rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void was no longer just an absence — it was a blade. Space no longer a boundary — it was his hunting ground. Lightning arced in thin, feral strands across his arms, leaping from grain to grain as the sand storm around him became sharper, denser, like a living weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another predator lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air buckled, sand hissed, lightning cracked — and then silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rift tore open just in front of Almond, swallowing the creature’s strike entirely before spitting the predator back out, twisted and broken, to crash against the far wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almond’s breathing was steady, too steady, his heartbeat synchronizing with the pulse of the Rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slashed again, not at an enemy, but at empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reality tore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of molten sand shot forward like a storm surge, riding a web of black lightning. The ground itself seemed to tilt as space bent, compressing the attack into a thin, blinding arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it struck, it detonated, creating a glowing rift in the canyon floor that vomited destructive dust and shards of molten glass into the air, creating a deadly zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand swirled, forming a sphere of glittering storm around him. Lightning webbed through it like veins, and every time a predator crossed its edge, they were caught — suspended for an instant in a tiny warped bubble of space before being shredded by lightning-infused sand shaped like blades, where his Grim Tree’s effects also applied, enhancing his offense to a whole new height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was beautiful. Terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Rune of Power. To think it could give me such a significant boost in power.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almond clenched his grip on his swords tightly for a moment before he let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both fused into one, and then, it started cracking, glowing, and ultimately, dispersing into his domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almond then stood motionless, hands folded behind his back, the faint glow of the [Ashenveil Rift] rune pulsing like a second heartbeat on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His swords were gone, no longer for his hands to wield. They had dissolved into his domain, its power woven into the essence of Ashenveil Rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The round wasn’t over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The predators arrived again out of nowhere. They were perfect killers. Swift, merciless, unseen. But perfection shattered the moment it crossed within ten meters of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one breached the threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space split open like wet parchment, folding in on itself, and the predator was sliced into a dozen glowing fragments suspended midair, each one frozen in place for a single, blinding instant before the sandstorm devoured them, reducing the creature to glimmering dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next wave came faster, their killing intent flaring like spikes. Almond didn’t even open his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His storm reacted for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grains of chaotic sand sharpened into microscopic lightening-laden micro blades, having space as its domain, and void as its edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each predator that drew near was caught in a sudden spatial twist, dragged sideways into invisible corridors where the terror of his Ashenveil Shredder roared through them like a judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In but an instant after entering his 10-meter domain, whether it was themselves or some of their long-range attacks, all of them met the same fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utter annihilation with impunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Round 13 is over.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almond’s eyes finally opened, displaying anticipation as he was greeted by the second notification that he was most eager to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Round 13 leaderboard]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank 1:\u003C\u002Fp>",1080,"2026-06-10T06:08:51.439Z",1,"novelbin.me","367c17cd276b4cd2bdc78e770bbf592686f104684a9205ae82f6a837e43c5ee4","re-awakening-i-ascend-with-a-legendary-class-chapter-618","re-awakening-i-ascend-with-a-legendary-class-chapter-522",685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-awakening-i-ascend-with-a-legendary-class-cover.jpg"]
