King was in disbelief.
Previously, when he fought with Ray, although his clone was killed, he could already guess that Ray's skill was most likely body-strengthening.
As for how his clone died, he didn't know.
At that time, the Level One undead dog had crushed his clone's head from behind, so King assumed that Ray had an accomplice.
He was actually very disdainful of Ray in his heart, knowing that Ray was just a mere E-class awakener and he lost his precious clone just because of him.
So he casually allocated four awakeners—Melissa and the three brothers—with some ordinary people to go together and kill such a small character.
Although it was overkill, King always had the policy to never give a person a chance to come back.
But now Ray was standing right before him, and even Seraphine seemed to have submitted to him.
"Seraphine, oh Seraphine," King chuckled. "Did you really think he could beat me?"
"We will know when we try," Seraphine stated coldly.
Ray didn't speak, his eyes just staring at King.
"Was that the infamous Domain Protection that even blocked countless missiles aimed at you by the military?"
"Hahaha, bingo." King laughed. "So, are you ready to die now?"
"Who knows."
Ray smiled as he casually threw a fireball at him.
King's expression slightly changed, but he just stood in place as the fireball vanished before it could reach him.
"Did you previously use that Lightning Spear on me?"
"Bingo to you as well."
Hearing this, King's expression gradually turned extremely serious.
He had never heard of a skill that could imitate or even copy other Awakening skills, and if it was even permanent, then he would truly be terrified.
"It's time for you to end, King." Ray signalled to Seraphine, and then she gave orders.
"I wonder if your domain protection can protect you from the bombs?"
He casually pointed at the ground.
King's expression sank further.
Boom!
An explosion covering at least 50 metres destroyed the surroundings as the soil was uprooted and everything around was obliterated.
Ray closed his eyes and snapped them open in an instant, peering deeply through the dust.
Numerous data appeared in front of him, almost completely overwhelming his vision for a moment. This was his skill: Analyser.
He quickly calmed down and focused on the faint shadow, and the moment the data appeared, his lips couldn't help but curl into a sinister smile.
"Your Domain Protection is not invincible."
King shot forward through the smoke, enlarging in Ray's vision rapidly, his entire skin covered in blisters and blood dripping from his head.
"Hahaha, King, let's fight to the end."
Ray tightened his fist and met King's fist head-on.
Boom!
The moment their fists met, a low-pitched sound erupted, accompanied by shock waves that sent everyone hurtling through the air.
Even Seraphine was no exception.
The gate they were standing on, along with the walls, shattered into pieces as the shockwave almost wiped out everything in an instant.
"Boss, let me help you," Argo said with bloodthirst in his eyes, his long sword slashing out toward them.
"Your opponent is me."
Just as the sword was about to reach them, it was firmly blocked by ice.
Seraphine looked at Argo with a cold gaze.
"You…" Argo gritted his teeth with hatred the moment he looked at the cold-faced woman.
"Your Awakening skill is a B-class Swordsman, which is not bad but not enough," Seraphine said lightly.
"Hehe." Argo just laughed maniacally while fighting her without much nonsense.
"Hmm?"
As the fight continued between Seraphine and Argo, she gradually frowned.
Even if this guy was a maniac, he naturally couldn't beat her.
However, she was slightly injured, and there were also other subordinates of King who were awakeners attacking at the same time.
Her disadvantage grew further the more she fought.
Even though Fern and Edie helped, there were just too many awakeners. Even the weakest ones were attacking her from all sides.
At this time, a gunshot rang in the air, and an awakener's head popped like a balloon.
"Get them, girls," Gina shouted with a smirk on her face while hiding on top of a building.
The tables turned almost instantly, and chaos ensued.
The battlefield was divided into two planes: Ray and King fighting, and the girls fighting King's subordinates.
At this moment, King's fist and Ray's fist collided with each other, creating a shocking momentum outward, neither of them taking a step back.
The two of them didn't hold back at all, fighting with all their strength right from the start.
Ray was a little surprised; this King was truly terrifying. He could even compete with his enhanced stats. All he could say was that it was as expected of an S-class skill.
Not only that, every move of King sent shockwaves through Ray's body, almost destroying his internal organs if not for his enhanced physique and vitality.
"Ray, I have really underestimated you," King's expression gradually became serious.
"Well," Ray chuckled, "Lightning Arts: Lightning Field."
He moved his hand almost like a dance, and electric arcs appeared, surrounding his body and attacking King, who was close.
"Hmm?"
King showed a disdainful expression. "Sage Art: Domain Protection."
All the electric arcs vanished into nothingness, absorbed by the protective barrier surrounding King.
"Is that all you can show me?"
"Who knows?" Ray smiled mysteriously, then casually punched King's ribs. His speed was too fast for King to react in time, and the punch landed squarely.
Bang!
King's ribs broke, sending him back a few metres. Ray followed up by swiftly moving behind him and slapping the back of his neck.
"You..." King roared in anger, delivering a punch.
Ray countered by slapping the punch away with one hand and delivering a backhand slap with the other.
"Come on, big guy, aren't you strong?" he sneered.
King gritted his teeth, the sting of the slap nearly taking a layer of his skin.
"Sage Arts: Domain—"
"Fuck your domain." Ray interrupted, delivering a strike to King's face.
King staggered, blood trickling from his nose. He glared at Ray, his eyes filled with fury.
