Sudden Shout

'Fuck! Why has he become so strong?!' He cursed inwardly.

He could see Max had only used that grayish energy to simply reinforce his punch, nothing more, but he still managed to exhaust one-third of the barrier's energy. This meant he could shatter it with just two more punches.

He had gained over 200,000 war merits until now and hadn't tried to save them when he activated it, meaning the barrier was as strong as a defensive spell cast by a mid-stage King mage, and he had thought Max wouldn't be able to do anything to him for a while, giving him time to either use his trump card or attract the human emperors' attention. Once he told them his identity, they definitely wouldn't let Max kill him; however, now it seemed he wouldn't be able to do either.

After a few moments, Max suppressed his surprised, deciding to ask Martha or someone else who knew about how he was able to activate this barrier with his merit plate.
