When Shano spoke, his volume wasn't particularly high, and his tone was quite calm.
But at the moment those words were uttered, there was an undeniable domineering aura that surged up, sweeping across!
It made everyone feel that almost tangible pressure!
A few members of the Divine Knight Order felt their scalps tingle and their bodies turn cold.
"Saint Garling..."
Someone instinctively turned to look at Garling, wanting to persuade him to retreat.
But after seeing the expression on his face, their eyelid twitched, and they sensibly swallowed back the words almost out of their mouths.
For one reason alone.
Because as his confidants, they've never seen their former commander, now one of the Five Elders, show such a twisted and ferocious expression in all these decades.
His face was contorted with fury, veins popping, teeth gnashing, completely losing the grace of a supreme authority, leaving only the rage of being utterly offended.
"Stop spewing nonsense there, Shano, you brat!"
Saint Garling roared in anger, his face filled with murderous intent!
This guy...
That dismissive attitude, along with the casual remark "either leave or die," was more insulting than any provocation!
He couldn't bear it!
Even if Rocks himself were resurrected!
Still wouldn't have the qualification to speak to him with such an attitude!
"You think by defeating those old fossils, you can act recklessly in front of me?! Shano! Today, let me show you..."
"There are differences even among the Five Elders!"
Saint Garling raised his hands solemnly, and large surges of purple-black Flame Cloud erupted around him, intertwining with the holy moonlight behind him!
Boom!
In just a split second, the shattered blood moon phantom instantly reassembled.
And it was even more solid and massive than before, emitting a soul-wrenching aura of destruction.
He must go all out!
Saint Garling directly pushed the power of his awakened state to the extreme, and the already enormous Tsukuyomi figure grew even larger.
The next moment.
The giant hand, entwined with the Supreme King black-red moonlight, descended like a collapsing sky towards Shano and Jack behind him!
"Moon Eclipse Divine Punishment!"
This strike covered an extremely broad area, the power far surpassing the previous attack on Jack!
The air squeezed out a piercing explosion, and much of the island's surface shattered and collapsed under the palm wind.
Even the nearby coast was swept up in a tsunami.
"This is bad!"
"Retreat, retreat further away!"
The members of the Divine Knight Order paled in horror, frantically flying back, afraid of being caught in this indiscriminate attack.
"Boss, be careful!"
Jack's expression changed too, hoarsely cautioning, knowing full well from combat thus far how troublesome this old man's abilities could be.
Yet.
Standing at the forefront, Shano merely chuckled softly, not even lifting an eyelid.
Until the giant palm that blocked out the sky was about to fall, and the shadow of destruction completely engulfed them both at the very instant—
Shano finally moved.
He didn't unsheathe his sword, nor did he adopt any earth-shattering posture. He just casually raised his left hand and made a slight motion as if storing up strength.
Then.
A simple forward thrust punch, without earth-shattering momentum, barely stirring any wind.
But at the moment the punch was about to touch the heaven-toppling purple-black moonlight giant palm...
Crack!
Accompanied by the black-red Inazuma entwining his fist, an indescribable terrifying shockwave exploded from the contact point!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
No earth-shattering explosions, no blinding flashes of energy clash.
Only a circle of visible, pure white shockwave swept silently across!
Where it passed, the air was instantly evacuated, forming an area of absolute vacuum!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The grating sound of shattering rang intensely.
The gigantic hand formed by pure moonlight and the Supreme King began to fracture with visible cracks starting from the palm.
And in the next moment, they rapidly spread in all directions, covering the entire hand, finally collapsing in a boom, dispersing into countless fragments, vanishing between heaven and earth!
Thunderous Air Splitting Fist!
This was the result Shano gained after non-stop hellish training over several days, a significant leap in progress.
The ability to concentrate all his power at a single point and use the purest shock force to smash everything along the way, shattering everything in his path!
Even this initial mastery has already surpassed all his previous Fist Techniques.
Becoming the most formidable finishing move!
"What?!"
As the giant hand dispersed, Saint Garling uttered a painful grunt, shock and anger blended on his face, full of disbelief.
How could it be!
This Moon Eclipse Divine Punishment was the full-power strike he prided himself on in his awakened state.
Yet it was directly dismantled by the opponent's casual punch so effortlessly!
And even more terrifying...
The aftermath of that punch hadn't dissipated yet!
After destroying his giant hand, instead of showing signs of weakening, it remained as fierce as a tide, rushing straight towards him!
"Not good!"
Saint Garling's heart panicked, he hurriedly activated his power, forming a heavy barrier of purple-black Flame Cloud and white moonlight before him.
But, it didn't work!
Boom!!!
In the deafening explosion, Saint Garling spit out a mouthful of blood, and his hundred-meter tall mythical beast form was forcibly blasted back several kilometers, carving two deep furrows in the ground with his feet, unable to fully dissipate the force.
