Chương 35: Too Much

Ethan stood his ground. His muscles tensed. Claudia's face twisted in fury, unleashed a torrent of dark purple and red energy, the air crackling with the power of her magic with every punches.

The ground beneath their feet trembled as the force of her spells met Ethan, but he stood like an immovable object.

Ethan only relying on his physical prowess with his high Attributes point, dodged and weaved through her onslaught.

Claudia's snarls grew louder, her frustration mounting with every attack that Ethan evaded. Remembering the humiliation she felt everytime Ethan talk to her like he owns her.

Ethan never thought that his Attributes that he got after absorbing the Souls of monsters will be this great. He even matched equally againts a Floor Guardian in close combat.

Though, he also using his Souls Sense to sensing Claudia's every movement. He also able to feel Claudia's rage toward him.

Ethan remained calm. Which makes Claudia more raged.

The clash between Ethan and Claudia intensified. The air arlind them thick with tension and the scent of her magic.

Claudia's eyes burning with a dark fire after she summoned more of her energy. The dark purple and red hues swirling around her like a storm.

She was like a tempest. Her power echoing the rage in her heart.

Meanwhile, Ethan's body moved with a precision and grace.

He looks like a warrior sculpted by war. All the training he did with his father is fruitful. Now, added with the high Attributes and Soul Sense, he become a dangerous force.

Claudia unleashed more a barrage of energy bolts, each one crackling with malevolent intent.

They streaked across the battlefield, a deadly rain seeking to obliterate its target.

Bur Ethan was a blur. His movements a symphony of dodges, rolls, and leaps. He was always one step ahead.

'If I get struck by that magic attack, I'm done.'

Ethan new this. His Attributes maybe high but he can not withstand magic attacks.

With a roar, Claudia summoned a massive sphere of energy then launching it toward Ethan.

But Ethan, who sensing the attack, already moved.

*BOOM!*

The sphere detonated behind him. Almost consuming him but he get away in time.

Claudia's eyes widened in disbelief, her confidence shaken.

'How... How did he manage to avoid that? Does he able to read my mind?!'

Claudia thought she could win with her overwhelming magic power. But then the fact settled. She do not know anything of Ethan's real Talent and power.

Ethan seized the moment, launching himself forward with a burst of speed. He closed the distance between them in a heartbeat, his fist connecting with her face. An explosive impact that sent shockwaves through the air.

Claudia staggered, her concentration broken, her spells dissipating into harmless sparks.

Ethan didn't relent. Instead he send barrages of fast and strong punches to her face and abdomen.

Claudia caught in the tempest of his assauld. She could barely keep up her defenses. The impact of each hit resonated through the battlefield like a a drumbeat of impending victory for Ethan.

As blow after blow landed, Claudia's rage reached its boiling point. Her eyes, once filled with the cold certainty of triumph, now burned with the wild fire of desperation.

'No... I am a Floor Guardian!'

She can't stand the shame anymore. All of the watchers now seeing how Ethan's pummeling her.

"HAAAAARRRGHHH!!!"

With a defiant scream that echoed across the arena, she tapped into the deepest wells of her power. She summoning more Aether than she had ever dared before. The energy surged within her like a maelstrom of potential that was both powerful and terrifying.

The Aether – energy from another realm – swirled around her, a vortex of dark energy that dwarfed her petite frame.

It was a dangerous gambit; the power was immense, greater than any she had wielded. Claudia pushing her to the limits of her endurance.

The air crackled with the intensity of the unleashed magic, the ground beneath her feet fracturing with the sheer force of the Aether's presence.

Ethan thrown backward. Then jumped to his feet to keep himself standing.

'What is this power? This feels the same like my Aetherbow.'

Ethan felt familiarity with the power. It was the same thing in his bow. Making him more curious.

But now, Ethan knew that he can not defeat Claudia in her state by his Attributes alone. His Soul Sense telling him that something happened to her and she had become something dangerous.

So, Ethan get ready to summon his trump card.

'Come, Shadow Behemoth.'

The air grew cold, and a sense of dread filled the battlefield as a rift in reality tore open.

From the void of his mind, emerged the Shadow Behemoth. A towering creature of nightmares.

It stood three meters tall, its massive form cloaked in an aura of impenetrable darkness. Its skin was a pale gray, almost translucent, stretched taut over its hulking muscles.

The Behemoth's eyes glowed with a malevolent red light, and its claws, long and razor-sharp, scraped the ground with a sound that sent shivers down the spine.

"GROAAAA!!!"

The Behemoth roared. It then moved with a surprising grace for its size.

Ethan stood beside the creature, his hand raised in command, he summoned his Aetherbow back to his hand.

After summoning an immense amount of Aether, Claudia's appearance transformed dramatically. Her hair now floated around her head in a wild strands glowing with the same dark purple and red hues of her magic.

Her eyes shone with wild light flickering with the raw power of the Aether she had called forth.

The energy she had summoned clung to her like a second skin, pulsating with every beat of her heart.

Veins of light traced across her skin. The ground beneath her scorched by the intensity of her power.

Ethan nocked an arrow. With a calm face he took aim, his eyes narrowing.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Behemoth advanced.

Its claws, sharp as the night itself, were poised to strike, ready to bring down Claudia.
