Due to the potion's effects, Singoat Skullbreaker could clearly see Shoyo's attack and immediately swung his right sword horizontally. Although the sword contained only a sliver of life energy, it was more than enough to slice Shoyo in half at this range. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMOHaOP0TB
However, as Singoat Skullbreaker attempted to counterattack, he realized his right arm had already been severed from his body. His right shoulder seemed to have been blasted away by the same mysterious force, and his sword-wielding arm fell to the ground, accompanied by intense pain. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6rG7U2JrK
Were it not for the Slow Motion Potion, he might have died from the shock like Tiger Skullbreaker. He quickly retreated two steps to avoid further slashes.

Under the potion's influence, Singoat Skullbreaker vaguely remembered seeing a silver flash at the edge of his vision just before, aimed at his right shoulder. But his attention had been so focused on Shoyo that he couldn’t identify the source of the flash.

"So close, just a bit more! Boy, next time, aim to kill!" Anwar laughed confidently, feeling that victory was within reach with Shoyo’s help. Even Shoyo began to believe that his Talent was indeed saving Grandecy.

"Rachel... I swear I’ll kill it and avenge you!" After two consecutive strikes, the white glow from Shoyo’s sword dimmed slightly, and he began to feel fatigued. Yet with such a formidable enemy before him and the safety of all Grandecy at stake, he couldn't afford to stop. He pressed on, determined to fight until he collapsed.

Singoat Skullbreaker endured the pain of losing his right arm and prepared to use his Talent again. Despite having only his left arm, he couldn’t give up. He repeatedly reviewed the previous scene, suspecting that Shoyo might not be the cause of his severed arm. With Anwar constantly giving advice from the side, could it be him? But Anwar’s right hand hadn’t drawn his sword, and his left hand only rested on the scabbard.

"Boy, aim for the head this time!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbCqeUyy8s
Upon hearing Anwar's advice, Singoat Skullbreaker knew he had only one chance. If he couldn't discern the source of the attack this time, he was surely doomed.

"I can see it now!" Singoat Skullbreaker realized that the Slow Motion Potion's effects would peak and then decline. It had been deemed dangerous because test subjects couldn’t withstand the peak effects, passing out from sensory overload. It seemed that Singoat Skullbreaker was now at his peak. Shoyo’s movements appeared slow in his eyes. At this moment, the silver flash reappeared at the edge of his vision, likely the same one that had taken his right arm.

He finally saw it—the silver flash shot out from Anwar's direction, flying straight towards him.

Meanwhile, fierce battles raged throughout Grandecy, not just in the king’s chamber. An unusually large life-draining beast had appeared in the Academy of Huntector’s plaza, making the once spacious area seem crowded. Headmaster Baron stood on the stage, facing it down, while the other teachers were sent outside the academy to help the populace.

"It must have been you that Leo felled with one strike without Weapower, right? Sending you to deal with me... they sure have high regard for this old man, ha ha ha..."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMigTT5sxM
Facing an enemy that even three Kingsides couldn’t handle, Baron remained unperturbed. The life-draining beast began its attack, intending to destroy him along with the academy.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbvDJgvy5O
Just as it prepared to strike, Baron leaped forward with all his might, landing in front of the beast’s chest plate and delivering a direct punch. There were no fancy moves, just the simplest direct punch, which forcibly halted the beast's attack. However, the punch didn’t topple it, only denting the chest plate and creating numerous cracks.

"Indeed, it’s tough... Leo is truly something else," Baron murmured as he retreated to the stage. He was modest, though, as few could remain so composed after denting a life-draining beast bare-handed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTzogt98Qd
"Well then, let’s try this..." Baron activated his Weapower, encasing his entire right arm in white armor. Knowing that the beast could absorb life energy, why did he activate Weapower?

He adjusted his stance, lowering his left hand and raising his right, readying himself for a "Dragon Strike." Compared to Lambo, Baron’s execution was smoother and faster. What took others around two seconds to charge, Baron accomplished in less than a second. As soon as the charge was complete, he vanished from the stage and reappeared in front of the beast’s chest, striking the dented area with a "Dragon Strike."

Like before with Shoyo, the beast wasn’t repelled, and the white Weapower flooded into the beast through the cracks. Despite having no internal organs, the force and Weapower ravaged its insides, reducing it to powder in seconds.

In front of Headmaster Baron, such a terrifying Fakeslave fell in two blows, living up to his legendary status alongside Leo.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr3FsBBRXf
And what of the other beast? Flamape had appeared in front of the Research Institute, destroying the exhibition hall’s roof with a single strike.

"Everyone, retreat to the basement and seal the passage! We can’t let them destroy our valuable research data!" Vork directed the researchers to safety while he stood before the fiery simian beast.
