Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1830 First Win!

The lively golden-pink light surrounding him suddenly began to quiet down. The falling petals slowed. The radiant chains trembled. The seals descending toward him paused for a fraction of a breath as if something unseen had passed through the battlefield and cut away the emotions supporting their authority.

Dragonheart released a silent, cold aura.

Rosaline's eyes sharpened.

Max did not use Divine King Punishment.

He did not use his dragon scales.

He did not use his Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline.

Instead, he raised Dragonheart and released the path he had just refined inside the reward chamber.

"Emotion Severing Path."

The moment the words left his mouth, the golden-pink sanctuary trembled.

A dark-gray sword aura spread outward from Dragonheart. It was not flashy. It was not grand. It was not loud. But wherever it passed, the radiant petals stopped glowing. The chains lost their binding intent. The seals lost their sense of authority. Even the majestic pressure of the Dawn Sovereign Sanctuary seemed to grow still for a moment.

Rosaline's expression changed.

Max stepped forward.

One slash.

The first seal was severed.

Not destroyed.

Severed.

Its connection to Rosaline's sanctuary was cut, and the seal dissolved into powerless light.

Second slash.

The radiant chains surrounding Max lost the will to bind and collapsed.

Third slash.

The petals in front of him split apart, and a clear path opened through the Dawn Sovereign Sanctuary.

Rosaline immediately raised both hands.

"Dawn Sovereign Sanctuary, Royal Mandate of Purifying Light."

The rose-gold throne behind her shone brilliantly, and an enormous pillar of golden-pink light descended toward Max. This was not a simple attack. It carried purification, sealing, and sovereign suppression together. It tried to purify the hostility in Max's sword, seal the movement of Dragonheart, and suppress the Emotion Severing Path itself beneath Rosaline's mandate.

Max looked up calmly.

Dragonheart moved.

The chamber training with the first owner of the Emotion Severing Path flashed through his mind for a brief instant. He remembered the warning that this path was volatile. He remembered that uncontrolled severing could devour the user. He remembered that the blade had to remain in his hand, not his heart. He remembered every word of the first user of Emotion Severing Path.

His eyes became colder, but not empty.

Then he slashed.

The silent sword light rose.

The Royal Mandate of Purifying Light split apart from the center.

The purification was severed from its target.

The sealing power was severed from its authority.

The sovereign suppression was severed from the throne behind Rosaline.

The massive pillar collapsed into scattered golden-pink fragments.

The entire arena went silent.

Rosaline's face turned slightly pale, but she did not give up. The Dawn Sovereign Sanctuary behind her shook as she gathered its remaining power into one final attack. The radiant kingdom compressed into a single rose-gold crown above her head, and countless petals fused into a long spear of dawn light.

"Final Dawn Edict, Sovereign Rose Spear."

The spear shot toward Max. It carried all the remaining pressure of the sanctuary.

Max stepped forward and raised Dragonheart with both hands.

"Good attack."

Then he cut down.

Emotion Severing Path descended in a single silent line.

The Sovereign Rose Spear split apart.

The crown above Rosaline shattered.

The illusory kingdom behind her dimmed and vanished like a dream at sunrise.

Before Rosaline could gather another defense, Max's figure appeared in front of her. Dragonheart stopped a finger's width away from her throat. The cold severing aura did not touch her, but she could feel that if Max moved even slightly, the battle would end completely.

Rosaline looked at the blade near her throat, then slowly lowered her hands.

"I surrender."

Angelina Valerius announced the result calmly.

[Winner: Max Morgan.]

[Rosaline Lunara Defeated.]

The screen above the arena immediately changed.

The arena remained silent for several breaths before whispers began spreading from pillar to pillar.

"She used her Pseudo Cosmic Path from the beginning and still lost."

"Dawn Sovereign Sanctuary was terrifying. It suppressed the whole battlefield."

"But Max's sword cut through it."

"That Emotion Severing Path is too strange. It did not just destroy her power. It cut the connection behind it."

Damian Voss looked at Max with sharp eyes, his grip tightening around his sword.

Orion Starfall's smile deepened. "So he finally showed it properly."

Rakan Thorne laughed softly. "That sword path is nasty. I like it."

Kaiden Voidmere's silver-gray eyes became thoughtful. "It severed the authority behind the sanctuary. Very strange, how did Max do it?"

Revona opened her eyes for a moment, and the void-colored light in her pupils flickered faintly.

Aurelian Lareth's expression became cold when he saw Max defeat Rosaline's light-based Pseudo Cosmic Path so cleanly. Selene Vaeloria also stared at him with a darker gaze, remembering very clearly how Max had used another path to crush her own strength before.

Morgana Starveil smiled faintly from her pillar, but this time, the smile carried more caution than amusement.

On the central stage, Rosaline looked at Max and sighed softly.

"I knew anything less than my full strength would be useless, but I still did not expect you to break my sanctuary that cleanly."

Max lowered Dragonheart.

"Your path is strong," he said calmly. "Against most people here, it would be very troublesome."

Rosaline smiled faintly. "But not against you."

Max did not deny it. If he had fought against her before the reward chamber then perhaps, her attacks might have pushed Max to use his other Pseudo Cosmic Paths but after he came out of the reward chamber, his Pseudo Cosmic Path of Emotion Severing Path was nearing perfection state.

Rosaline shook her head lightly, then the transfer light descended and returned her to her pillar.

Max also returned to his pillar a moment later.

The first battle of the final competitive stage had ended.

Max Morgan had started with one battle and one win.
