"Incredible!" Felix said sincerely. "I thought he just had some amazing fire elemental skills, but now I see he's truly versatile!"
"Yeah, me too. We misunderstood him," Luthor added.
But Ryuzen's triumph was short-lived.
ROAAAR!
Three more Hollowfied Giants charged forward, their thunderous steps shaking the stone floor. Their dark eyes glowed with unholy rage.
The closest one smashed through a wall to make space, while another hurled a boulder-like piece of debris straight at Ryuzen.
Boom!
He twisted midair, narrowly avoiding the projectile, but the shockwave knocked him off balance. He flipped and landed with a skid across the ground, his boots grinding against stone.
"Everyone, get ready!" Luthor suddenly shouted.
The others were already moving.
Felix drew a curved dagger and dashed forward, crimson lines glowing under his skin. "Blood Burn—Activate!"
