Gunnr and his gang of Jayzepanese were hiding on the outskirts of Guillory City—almost at Armaou City.The discovery sank heavy in Ray's chest. This likely confirmed it: the Jayzepanese had gone after Constantine, then stayed here to fully digest what they had absorbed, planning to strike back in one swift sweep.Why leave a disguise-type ability user in their base? To lull Travis and the others into a false sense of security, so they wouldn't flee in panic overnight.Gunnr's ambition was enormous. He wanted to wipe out all ability users in Guillory City. Once achieved, he could very well become the strongest in Gohaven—or even the world. With speed on his side, who knows? He might genuinely conquer the entire planet.Abilities were like a rolling snowball—the advantage only grew. Fall a step behind, and you could only watch helplessly as the strongest left you in the dust. Without the extra factor of golden snowflakes, even absorbing half of the world's ability users would guarant

Because this was only a temporary hideout, and Gunnr never expected Ray to locate him so quickly, there were no real precautions set along the way. No tripwires, no bells on strings, nothing.There were guards, of course—but Ray had already activated his spatial domain. For a guard to hear the slightest movement now would have been miraculous.Within a hundred meters, there were plenty of enemies.Ray's lips curved into a faint smile. He activated his spatial swap. A man appeared out of thin air right in front of him.Before the man could even open his mouth, Ray's spatial slicing strike cut through him effortlessly, killing him instantly.Travis's eyes widened as he saw the man appear. He swung his fist in reaction. The punch glowed deep red; the temperature must have been in the thousands. Any ordinary ability user hit by that would be seriously injured.But Travis immediately retracted his fist, staring in disbelief.The man—alive one moment, dead the next—had appeared and va

Something wasn't right. Gunnr was a beast-type—sure, he had more abilities than a pure combat-type, but it shouldn't be this outrageous!They'd been fighting each other for over three months. They knew each other inside and out. And yet… Gunnr's abilities had become bizarrely unpredictable."I call it… the Blade Domain!" Gunnr said in broken English. "Hahaha! After absorbing Rupert's powers, I gained this terrifying ability. At first, I couldn't wield it well, but after slaying Constantine and taking his powers as well, the Blade Domain's strength has skyrocketed!""Travis," he continued, "do you think I'm just waiting for my body enhancement to finish? Yes… and no. I'm mastering the Blade Domain!"Hahaha! Unlike body enhancements that take three days to peak, powers reach their peak instantly! Travis, we've battled long enough. Today, it ends!"And you…"Gunnr's gaze snapped to Ray. His expression twisted into something grotesque, vicious, and merciless."You will die. And you

If Gunnr had known, he should've just taken out those guys himself—absorbing their abilities would've been far better.But there was no such thing as regret medicine in this world.Gunnr let out a roar. His wings vibrated violently, his feet slammed the ground, and boom—he charged at Ray, his sword thrusting forward like a spear, aiming to impale Ray.Since a winner couldn't be decided from the clash of the domains, he would have to do the deed himself. He stabbed, but Ray didn't even dodge. The blade went through… yet Gunnr frowned. He hadn't hit anything solid. Ray's form flickered before him like shattered shadows.It was just a residual image lingering on the retina.Within the domain, Gunnr recalibrated instantly. He thought hard, and countless blades materialized from the void, striking at Ray from all directions.Though a brute in physical combat, the moment he gained a domain, he became something else entirely—like a sword immortal, a blade master. From any angle, he co

They had just gone all out in their attack, only to be cut down by Ray's counterstrike. Their bodies were battered, their strength nearly spent—and now Gunnr struck again, unleashing a full-power slash. How could they possibly defend against it?The blade swept through, and all five were cleaved in half at the waist.Gunnr's Blade Domain had fully manifested, the slash infused with destructive sword energy. Who could survive such a strike? Even Travis, in his fire state, had suffered internal damage and coughed up blood. Could these five possibly be stronger than him?The answer was obvious. One strike, and they were all dead.Gunnr's speed was staggering. Instantly, he reached out to press his hand against Astrid's body—warm energy flowed, confirming the kill—then touched the second corpse, the third, the fourth… but when he reached for the fifth, nothing.He froze, glancing at Ray. There, before him, lay half a body—Ray had already snatched away the fifth person's remains.Unfo
