The red lightning of the Storm King's inheritance erupted from his body, flashing outward in violent arcs that painted the square in crimson brilliance. Thunder rumbled in every corner of the space as the lightning encircled Max, making him the very heart of a raging tempest.
He called forth Heaven's Wraith, the inheritance's most destructive technique, and let the lightning flow into his clenched fist.
He planted his feet firmly on the ground, his stance unwavering, and met Victor's charge head-on. His right arm tightened, every muscle and tendon aligning with perfect precision, and his fist shot forward to collide with the Azure Dragon Fist.
The moment their fists connected, the world itself seemed to break.
A deafening boom tore through the square as the force of their clash shook the heavens and the earth. The ground beneath them crumbled, exploding outward as the square was reduced to dust that could not withstand the magnitude of their power.
