Chapter 720: Limit Breaker: Going All out!

Limit Breaker… it was the same skill Nox had copied from Hendrix years back during the fight summit.

[Chapter reference for skill description: 243]

For a long time, the skill had simply gathered dust in his system.

The reason why he rarely used it was because it was a powerful ability, meant to be his trump card in hopeless situations.

Furthermore, it had a terrible drawback. After deactivation, his HP would fall to 1.

In such a state, even a Level 1 Awakened could kill him.

But at this very moment, Nox didn’t care about the drawback. All he wanted was to get rid of the powerful demon lord.

Instantly, his body swelled, lean muscles becoming more robust.

A powerful aura exploded out from him, causing both enemies and allies alike to flinch back.

Seeing this, the smile on Noir’s face widened, while Nox’s anger only grew until his dark eyes turned bloodshot.

Then there was silence—suddenly, he disappeared from sight.

CRAAASH!

In the next instant, Noir’s body was slammed back hundreds of meters, his fist barely managing to block Glacier’s End. The force tore through the ruins, flattening what little remained of the castle walls.

“Ghahahaha!” Noir’s laughter echoed, even as blood trickled down his lip. “Now this is what I’ve been waiting for!”

Noir’s feet dug into the ground, screeching to a stop. His grin only grew.

Without hesitation, he kicked off the ground with a thunderous bang, lunging forward with fists glowing in black lightning. Nox met him head-on, their collisions shaking the earth like endless thunder.

SWING! Glacier’s End slashed down with a speed that shattered the sound barrier. Noir twisted his body, catching the blade with his bare hand.

SSSKRRRTCH!

Blood gushed instantly as the sword cut deep into his palm. Yet Noir only grinned wider. “Yes…! Give me more!”

With a roar, he unleashed another surge of black lightning, blasting Nox away and splitting the sky.

The two clashed again midair, their silhouettes flickering across the ruined castle.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Soldiers on both sides were thrown into the air like ragdolls. The weaker Awakened and demons alike lost their lives just by being too close.

By now, the fighting between the demon army and human Awakened had resumed once more.

‘I need to end this quickly and go help Nox. Even though that skill is Ultimate Tier, it won’t be enough to stop Noir.’ Eve thought as she stepped forward.

Her summons were effective, but even with their sheer numbers they couldn’t overwhelm Number Two, who possessed expert control over his blood manipulation skill.

“Do you need help?” Bridget’s voice rang out beside her.

“Flank him from the side!” Eve said without hesitation. “As long as I get past his blood spears, he’s dead!”

“On it!” Bridget nodded grimly. She didn’t think there would ever come a day where she fought alongside the very person who had nearly killed her just months ago.

“It’s two of them now—dammit!” Number Two cursed, forming countless blood spears and launching them toward the women.

BANG! BANG!

They effortlessly dodged as the spears smashed into the ground where they had just stood, leaving massive cracks in their wake.

Seeing the distance between them closing, Number Two began to panic. He was a ranged fighter and didn’t excel in close combat that much.

If these two Expert Ranks clashed with him directly, ha would be forced into a desperate position.

In a desperate bid, he slammed his palm to the ground and roared:

“Don’t get too cocky!”

BOOM!

The blood around him erupted into towering crimson spikes that shot upward. Several Awakened and demons alike screamed as they were skewered instantly.

“Rise, Dead Titans!” Eve roared. From the ground, two giant undead warriors—stitched together from hundreds of corpses—rose. Their massive frames emitted the power of Level 70–80 Awakened, wielding gigantic bone clubs.

With earth-shaking force, the undead smashed through the spikes, destroying them before they could reach Eve or Bridget.

Meanwhile, a pair of daggers, forged from bone and glowing with a sinister purple aura, appeared in Bridget’s grasp mid-run.

“Hmph… annoying pests!” Number Two roared. His arms stretched unnaturally, blood pouring from his pores until it encased his body like writhing armor. His eyes turned blood-red, and with a flex, the crimson aura exploded outward.

BOOM!

The undead staggered under the shockwave. Dozens crumbled instantly. Bridget was blown back, coughing blood as she skidded across broken stone.

The only one who stood her ground was Eve.

Slamming her staff into the earth, hundreds of skeletal arms burst from the ground beneath Number Two, grabbing his legs, arms, and torso. Every part of him was restrained.

But his lips curled into a sinister smirk. “Do you not understand? Everything you touch only makes me stronger.”

The skeletons liquefied instantly, their white bones melting into red blood that wrapped tighter around his armor. His aura swelled, doubling in intensity.

—

“Arghhh!” a soldier screamed as a demon’s claw tore through his armor. He barely parried, his sword trembling in his grip.

“Damn it! Even the air is crushing me! Is this from their fight?!” another shouted, coughing blood as the shockwaves from Nox and Noir’s clash slammed into them.

BOOOOM!

Both sides—human and demon—were thrown off balance as a massive crater split open where Nox and Noir’s fists collided midair. The shockwave spread outward through the battlefield like a hurricane.

It was as if two gods were fighting, and everyone else were mere ants caught in their storm.

Adrian’s gaze flicked toward the sky, where Nox and Noir blurred in and out of sight.

‘I can barely keep my eyes on them… if this continues, there won’t be a capital left to save.’ A look of worry crossed Adrian’s face.
