John was about to kill Jade when Max attacked him from behind. John's senses were extremely superior to that of even the best hunter and this allowed him to detect Max's presence and evade the sneak attack. Max attacked John head on. Max was overwhelming John with his abilities and versatile abilities beating the shit out of John unfortunately Max wasn't able to kill John quick enough as a result John managed to become immune to all of Max's attacks and became superior to him. John was basically an unbreakable wall. However that's when Jackson arrived. Jackson looks at John and says "What a surprise someone who might actually have what it takes to give me a challenge" Previously Jackson had conquered the same dungeon that John conquered and gained flight teleportation never give up mode and the other abilities as well as the other dungeon which not even the Dragon God could conquer Jackson did that through skills as a warrior instead of through defense like John and than on top of that he conquered the energy consumption dungeon he only just left that dungeon two weeks ago. Jackson and John stare each other down neither man willing to back down. John says "So your the strongest?" Jackson says "Guilty as charged" Than they fought. Jackson attacked with his weapons and equipment only to have them destroyed on impact. Jackson than used energy manipulation to create swords of pure condensed energy and armor of pure condensed energy he attacked. Jackson had originally lacked the energy that Max or Jade had his only hope for victory was to end things as swiftly as possible if the fight lasted for an extended period of time he would become exhausted.
