Battle at the Selnes Country: Blood Lightning Monster vs. Boulder Jack

"I have no choice but to fight..." Boulder Jack muttered to himself, clenching his teeth before he swung both of his hands.

Souta brandished his sword, generating a massive energy blade in the air.

Boom!

Their respective attacks collided, generating intense friction in the air. Sparks scattered in all directions, and the shockwaves reverberated powerfully across the entire platform.

Boulder Jack was forcibly driven back, leaving a profound gouge in the ground. A streak of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"I can hardly believe it... Even with the elemental energy suppression, he can still dominate in combat. This poses a grave challenge for me. Furthermore, the moment he activated his released form, his debuff skills began affecting me. It's incredible... just how many debuff skills does he possess?"

Boulder Jack wiped the blood from his mouth and fixed his gaze on Souta, who remained airborne.
