As sparks scattered through the air, Sun Yue, whose Fatal Cleaver had collided with the Obsessive Tree Demon's chains, was sent flying backward.
At the same time, Seiya leaped onto a massive tree root, activated a speed-boosting status skill, and began sprinting across it.
The moment Sun Yue was knocked away by the Obsessive Tree Demon's chains, Seiya used the "Leap" skill to jump high above the Obsessive Tree Demon.
Gripping his one-handed sword, he plunged straight down from the air toward its head!
"Heaven's Punishment—!"
This was a new skill Seiya had acquired when he performed a plunging strike against Heavenly Tyrant Jikvirm during their previous battle.

A level 120 monster naturally had an absurdly long HP Bar. Even with defense ignored, Seiya had not expected to kill it in one blow.
But the instant the tip of his sword touched the Obsessive Tree Demon, Seiya froze.
He could feel a powerful resistance blocking the damage from his Fatal Cleaver before it could land on the Obsessive Tree Demon.
