Amon exploded forward the instant Luke finished blocking the fifth shadow slash.
The ground cracked beneath his feet as he accelerated.
For someone who had only recently reached the Master Rank, his speed was astonishing.
Even Luke's eyes narrowed in surprise.
'He's still fast...'
In terms of raw speed alone, Amon was already approaching the level of a Master Ascendant.
Luke didn't hesitate.
With a powerful roar, he swung one of his blazing battle axes downward.
The weapon tore through the air, leaving behind a trail of scorching flames.
CLANG!
Amon met it head-on.
His shadow-coated sword intercepted the attack, but the tremendous force surged through his arms like a tidal wave.
His muscles tensed.
The ground beneath his boots split apart as he was forced half a step backward.
'His physical strength... It's monstrous.'
Before Luke could press his advantage.
A flash of golden light appeared beside Amon.
She was Seraphina.
