Chapter 405: Absolute Zero

The Frenzor Assassin evidently didn't appreciate the joke. He continued to charge forward with a terrifying bellow. Even though hundreds of mana bolts and laser fire struck him, he kept on going, an unstoppable juggernaut of ferocity.

In the face of such a horrifying foe, I calmly stepped forward. Partially to shield my comrades from the berserker's charge, and partially to execute my technique.
