Chapter 288: Chapter 40: I Am...

Zell's body moved faster than the Champion could react as he shot out his right leg like a chain, whipping the abdomen of the male three times with his full power, causing the armour around his body to crumble and cave in on his ribs, breaking several of them.

Zell then grabbed the Champion by his hair, lifting his broken body with ease before throwing him onto the ground with a loud thud, causing the humans present to shiver uncontrollably and look at him in horror.

"Haaa..." Chris just sighed and shook his head helplessly as he realised Zell wouldn't hold back.

Esmera trembled slightly as she remembered how gentle Zell had been over the past few days, yet how he could transform into this brutal monster so quickly and effortlessly, making her realise how weak she was.

She wanted to be strong and protect those she loved... but she felt like a burden at this moment, unable to control her emotions or fear as she stared at Zell moving once again.
