Flinch stared at me in pure terror.
He couldn't form a single word.
Every instinct in his body screamed at him to run—but his mind had already collapsed under fear. His throat trembled as a low growl escaped his mouth.
He stretched his trembling hand toward me.
In an instant, black lightning burst forth from his palm, roaring violently as it shot straight toward my body.
Despite his fear, he forced a twisted grin onto his face.
"Hah!! Even if your power has returned, you still won't be able to withstand mine!!"
I looked at him with a flat, emotionless gaze.
Just seeing his face made my stomach churn.
I had reached my limit.
I stepped forward—slowly.
The black lightning continued to strike my body relentlessly, but none of it had any effect on me. It dispersed the moment it touched my aura, like water evaporating on hot steel.
"W–WHAT!?" Flinch screamed in disbelief.
"WHY IS IT NOT WORKING!?"
I ignored his words completely.
