Chapter 189: Respect

Shocked and amazed at the same time, Liam's eyes widened as the Elder's shadow wrapped around him and strengthened his aura. 

The room itself darkened by a noticeable amount as Jax's body absorbed the light.

In a split second, Jax's form disappeared with a blink, reappearing behind Liam. 

Frowning, Liam's body reflexively moved on its own, jolting around and taking a wide jump back.

However, Jax disappeared again, standing vertically on the ceiling and defying the laws of gravity.

For the final time, the Elder merged with the room then reformed in front of Liam.

"This is nothing. My level with this Art is laughable considering how long I've practiced in it."

A moment later, the black coating regressed and gathered on Jax's right arm. 

Even without the King's Eye supporting his vision, Liam could see just how devastating that arm would be if it struck something. 

Even Liam's complete Ashura form wouldn't survive.
