Overpowering Evan

Max stood his ground.

He didn't move.

He just took a deep breath.

His two lightning rings crackled behind him, flickering wildly.

The onlookers held their breath.

Was he—

Was he really just standing there?

Then—

Max moved.

Slow. Deliberate.

His right hand gripped his sword.

And then—

He positioned himself pointing the tip of the sword towards the incoming red sphere.

SHIIING!

The moment he did that, the very air trembled.

A wave of pure, razor-sharp intent surged forward, forming an invisible blade of destruction as he concentrated all his 30% of Fusion State aura into the sword.

But—Max wasn't done.

Because this wasn't just a normal sword attack.

It was Point Break.

A technique of the Voidborne Edge: Sevenfold Sword Technique.

A technique that did not slice.

Did not cut.

It shattered.

It destroyed.

Not through overwhelming force.
