Chapter 161: Angel - 2
"Look! The Emperor—he's intact again!"
After that colossal, devastating blast, the Emperor could once more be seen whole, without any visible injuries marring his body. Yet despite his restored form, it was obvious to everyone watching that something had changed. The thunderous explosions had noticeably reduced, replaced instead by an overwhelming number of afterimages flickering through the battlefield.
Clearly, the Emperor had shifted tactics.
He had moved into close combat—relying on his body rather than mana. But even so, it was apparent that his physical prowess alone did not surpass that of the angels. Slashes flashed into existence and vanished just as quickly, carving through him again and again. Each time, his wounds regenerated at a terrifying pace as he continued engaging two High 8-star angels simultaneously.
The scene hammered a brutal truth into everyone's minds.
