Chapter 318
"Sir Max!" Vanica screamed, eyes wide in horror as a razor-sharp talon from a hawk beast swooped toward her face.
BANG!
"Just call me Max," he muttered, lightning crackling around his body in a deafening roar. Bolts danced across his skin, weaving themselves into a full-on lightning armor that radiated with electric fury.
His legs were encased in knee-high lightning boots, and his hands were wrapped in glowing gauntlets of pure voltage.
Arcs of lightning surged across the armor that shielded his torso, but light scratches across his face trickled with blood — a sign that even this power had limits.
"ARGH!" Max grunted, muscles tensing as he gripped the hawk's talons with both hands.
A second later, a lightning arrow from above pierced the air with a high-pitched shriek, striking the beast's skull and blasting a gaping, smoking hole clean through its head.
"Watch out!" Vanica shouted again, pointing as a surge of sizzling acid shot toward Max.
