This terror of death was so overwhelming that he couldn't even muster the will to fight back against it. Even his bloodlines didn't react. Though he hadn't expected much from Lust Overlord Bloodline because it rarely acted on its own, he had expected his newly awakened Garfield Bloodline to stir because he was being practically subdued and it was sure to hurt its pride. But it stayed completely still.
Right as his consciousness almost blanked out, he marveled, 'So this is what absolute power is like, huh?'
[It is.] An emotionless and androgynous voice echoed in his mind and the dread filling his being vanished without a trace.
Gasp!
Max gasped for air and staggered on his feet.
A moment later, he had already gathered his wit and cupped his fists toward the shadowy figure and opened his mouth to greet it but didn't know what to say.
Hello?
Thank it for saving him yesterday or appearing before him now?
None of these seemed suitable.
