[Rumble!!!]
The direct clash between flames and torrents produced unimaginable, terrifying energy.
The originally narrow, dim underground corridor was illuminated by firelight.
The melting rock walls were forcibly pushed apart by the Shockwave.
Even the neighboring corridors, stone rooms, and the monsters moving within were swallowed up in vast swathes.
In the blink of an eye.
The corridor, originally less than three meters wide, had become a spherical space nearly a hundred meters in diameter.
The crimson glow emitted by the lava flowing everywhere provided natural illumination.
Phoenix Man had somehow been embedded in the completely molten wall.
There were still traces of drying blood at the corner of his mouth.
[Bang!]
Enduring the pain, he exerted himself and tore free, landing heavily on the ground and splashing sparks of lava.
"So strong."
Phoenix Man looked at Bang, who still held his punching stance, and murmured quietly.
He had not expected that even after fully evolving, he would still be at a disadvantage.
At the same time, he could sense an energy emanating from Bang that differed from the aura of life.
Its nature was somewhat like Gyoro Gyoro's psychic power, but more solid, resilient, and complex.
Yes, complex. It was not a purely mental power.
Yet it also lacked the dark emotions of resentment that filled the Evil Eye.
Bang was likewise marveling inwardly at how useful Haki was.
Though he had only awakened it recently and his mastery was nothing special, incorporating it into his techniques greatly enhanced their power.
Haki was fiercer than qi, yet it did not conflict with qi.
The Life-Giving Dragon just now had contained three kinds of power: fist force, Haki, and qi.
And Haki could provide its user with a defensive effect even stronger than qi.
