Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1566 An Intense Battle - 1

While Max kept parrying Mira's unyielding assaults, he slowly comprehended the sheer depth and lethal keenness of her sword arts. Each assault bore a honed sharpness capable of cleaving nearly everything in its trajectory.

Max was convinced that any commonplace weapon besides the Dragonheart would have crumbled ages ago beneath the onslaught of her strikes, instead of enduring them steadfastly.

"You can only keep blocking for so long," Mira uttered icily while her attacks pressed on ceaselessly. "Sooner or later, you will be exhausted."

Her blade showed no sign of slowing even as she spoke. Strike after strike landed with flawless accuracy, denying Max any moment to recover.

Max's brow creased as he withstood the furious onslaught. 'Her power dwarfs that devil I slew before,' he reflected, perceiving the vast gap between them.

That insight led him to switch tactics.

"Dragon Scales Transformation."

Dark dragon scales erupted across his frame the instant he triggered the skill, encasing him entirely. A torrent of raw power coursed through his limbs, propelling his already immense physical might—fueled by two thousand Draconic Essences—to soaring new heights.

Boosted by the enhancements of his two unlocked Divine Veins, his physique grew denser, more potent, and explosively superior to its prior state.

A fierce gleam flashed in Max's gaze.

Dragonheart clutched tightly in his grasp, he ceased mere defense.

His sword slashed downward.

Bang!

A deafening explosion echoed from the collision as his blow met Mira's sword head-on. The result differed starkly this time.

A massive shockwave erupted outward, flinging Mira's form backward through the sky.

"How is that possible?" Luna cried in astonishment, her eyes bulging as she observed the unfolding drama.

Though she had witnessed Max slaying a peak Law Refinement Realm devil in one stroke, the current scenario was utterly distinct. That devil was merely a lowly grunt, its genuine strength probably falling short of the Law Manifestation Realm. It made sense for Max to dispatch it effortlessly.

But Mira stood apart.

A bona fide third level Law Manifestation Realm cultivator, her prowess had simply been restricted to Law Refinement peak inside this realm. By rights, she should dominate Max with ease.

Nevertheless, after their direct clash, Mira was the one repelled.

Tamara struggled to process the sight as well.

Ash eyed Max with intense curiosity, however. 'Is he truly a peerless prodigy?' he pondered. If the Sword Sovereign's sword had selected him, it was logical to believe Max harbored exceptional gifts.

"How are you this strong?" Mira demanded, brows furrowing as bewilderment and incredulity crossed her features. Logically, a third level Law Awakening Realm fighter couldn't withstand her, yet Max defied every presumption.

"This is only the beginning," Max responded, his tone utterly emotionless.

In that instant, a deep shift occurred deep inside him.

Max invoked the nascent cosmic path of his Severing Sword, instantly severing all inner emotions. Terror, doubt, reluctance, and even pain's sting evaporated as if never there. His consciousness sank into perfect tranquility, fixated solely on the fray.

His gaze grew icy and vacant.

Mira sensed the change right away, her face turning grave as she advanced with swifter, deadlier sword barrages than before.

Every blow pulsed with vast profundity, her blade appearing to rend space apart. Torrents of sword energy surged at Max, sealing off all retreat.

Max first deflected them with his sword, then summoned his ice legacy.

"Ice God Hand."

The air chilled abruptly as colossal ice palms coalesced overhead and smashed down on Mira with overwhelming might. The very atmosphere congealed as the hands lunged to seize and immobilize her.

Mira reacted without hesitation.

Her sword blurred into motion, unleashing exact chops that pulverized the ice palms into myriad shards. The icy debris sprayed over the field, but Mira's riposte struck before they hit ground.

A razor crescent of sword energy sliced the air, slamming into Max squarely.

The blow hurled him backward, blood spilling from his lips as the impact reverberated through his frame.

His face, however, betrayed no alteration.

"Thousand Divine Swords."

Countless blades forged from his Severing Sword concept filled the sky overhead. Thousands of swords materialized and plunged down like an unending storm, every single one bearing the might to cleave through anything in its path.

Violent tremors rocked the ground as the swords poured down relentlessly.

Rather than falling back, Mira pressed ahead, her sword flashing with flawless precision. Every stroke shattered or parried numerous attacking blades, her motions crisp and steady amid the furious deluge.

Yet, even she couldn't fully evade the onslaught.

A handful of swords nicked her flesh, carving light gashes where blood began to seep.

The next instant, her aura erupted outward.

She launched a devastating slash that pierced the swordstorm, landing on Max before he could fully adjust his position.

The blow hammered into him with crushing force.

Forced back several paces, blood now streamed more heavily from his mouth this time. The battle's toll was starting to tell, Mira's overwhelming power pressing down on him without mercy.

Even so, his eyes stayed icy and devoid of emotion.

"Black Dragon Inferno Furnace Art."

Fiercely igniting, the two lotus cores inside his body unleashed a torrent of energy that surged through his whole form. His power surged upward once again, the black flames around him blazing fiercer, radiating a savage and domineering presence.

Mira refused to give him a moment to recover.

She materialized in front of him instantly, her sword plummeting with horrifying power.

Max hoisted Dragonheart to parry.

A deafening clash erupted as their blades met, hurling potent shockwaves across the battlefield. The earth under Max's feet splintered wider under the immense pressure, shoving his body backward even behind his guard this time.

But now, Max refused to stay merely defensive.
