Endless Evolution: Last Star

If he wanted to fight the strongest monster, he had to be the strongest in the squad. It was simple.

”RRARK!!!!”

Prime Azure World furiously growled, slowly walking around Adam, staring at him intently as if he were his victim.

”Hey, this is the last wave, right?”

ʼYes. Thereʼs not much time left before dawn, or rather... not enough time for another such wave to appear. However, that doesnʼt mean you need to delay. Thereʼs still plenty of time for the monsters to kill every Phantom if you donʼt defend yourself.ʼ Silvana said seriously.

Adam nodded.

”Good. So I can finally not hold back. Well, in that case, letʼs start with simple.” Adam stretched his hand forward, electric shocks running through his fingertips.

Before Azure Wolf could realize anything, Adam clenched his fist, unleashing a mighty thunderbolt as fast as sound and as hot as plasma on the monster.

Azure Wolf had no time to dodge, Adam did everything quickly, much faster than against the Steel Knight when he just got the Third Artifact Trait.

Practice only gave Adam a few milliseconds of advantage, but it was enough to give Azure Wolf time for one action: a swish of his tail.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

The sharp tip of the tail slammed into the thunderbolt, quickly absorbing all the energy and channeling it along the crystal ridge running along Azure Wolfʼs spine.

The blue crystals glowed brightly, seemingly ready to explode at any moment, but somehow they managed to resist the pressure and save Azure Wolf from taking any damage.

Then, Azure Wolfʼs eyes shone brightly as well as the depths of its maw, as if like a dragon before it would burst out its destructive fiery breath.

”Oh... That was unexpected...” Adam muttered with a stunned face when the electric shocks went through his legs.

At the same moment, Adam turned into a lightning flash, at the last second dodging the devastating laser that partly used his energy.

”Dodge!!!” Phantom exclaimed, only to see the laser rip through his mateʼs body, then ending his life as well.

Though Azure Wolf used the energy from Adamʼs thunderbolt, it was only enough for a few seconds of the laser.

Well... It was too much, for many on this brutal battlefield.

The laser turned into nothing, dozens of Phantoms and monsters that happened to be under an attack that wasnʼt intended for them. It was impossible to defend themselves, for many of them had not even realized what had happened yet, they were already dead.

”What the hell...?” The girl whispered while trickles of blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. She lowered her gaze, seeing the wide hole in her chest, organs spilling outward, quickly plunging her into eternal darkness.

Adam, standing in the distance, with waves of shivers running through his body stared at the bloody trail left by the laser.

Sweat broke out, and a chill ran down his spine as he realized he was as much or even more responsible for their deaths than Azure Wolf.
