The pressure in the deep sea seemed enough to crush a person's bones, but in those depths, something more terrifying than the pressure was the frenzied battle between two monsters.
"Die, you bastard!"
Lucian's roar exploded beneath the sea. His fists were like frenzied sledgehammers, hammering down one after another without technique or restraint. Relying solely on the brute strength surging wildly inside him, he rained blows indiscriminately onto Ikaris's head and chest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every punch blasted a vast vacuum into the surrounding seawater. The terrifying impacts even caused the coral reefs and rock formations on the seabed to collapse one after another.
Ikaris had lived for over seven thousand years, and this was the first time anyone had pinned him to the seabed and beaten him so badly. His blue-and-gold battle suit had long since been reduced to strips. His nose had caved in, and who knew how many bones in his chest were broken. Though his body was healing, it could no longer keep up. What frightened him even more was Lucian's utterly unreasonable strength.
How was this guy's strength still increasing?
"Madman..." Ikaris gritted his teeth and raised both arms to desperately block the blows. Blood kept spilling from his mouth and nose, only to be swiftly dispersed by the seawater.
Lucian's mind was a sea of blood-red. Infinite Rage had burned away all but a tiny shred of his reason.
Pain? Good!
The flesh burned away by energy was healing, only for the new flesh to be torn apart again. Rather than bringing him to his senses, the torment only made him angrier and stronger. All he wanted was to tear the enemy before him to pieces!
Fuck, I'll slaughter you... I'm going to smash every bone in your body today! Lucian roared inwardly.
