Nay was well aware of what Theo intended to use.

It would be better not to use it. In such a pressing situation as now, there are too many variables to consider. Even a minor mistake could leave you crippled.

"That thing" Theo intended to use is a buff that enhances the body using all the energy remaining in the dantian simultaneously with the use of [Overrun].

It was a technique conceived from the thought that a buff surpassing [Overrun] was necessary.

Theo had not only been quietly sitting in meditation to accumulate qi during the past period.

However, [Overrun] itself carries a great cost, as it uses not only the current strength but also future strength.

Moreover, managing a large amount of qi at once is not an easy task for Theo, who is still a beginner.

In the worst case, the qi could flow backward, causing all the blood vessels in the body to burst and leading to death.

But Theo expressed his opinion again.

That's why I have to use it. If I don't overcome this mountain called Oswald, I can't move forward. I want to try confronting it with all I have.

His attitude was firm.

Nay said,

I see. I understand your heart well. Then, try it.

As soon as her words ended, Theo concentrated all his nerves on his dantian.

Grrrr

Grrrrr

The sound of qi rising from the depths of the dantian could be heard in his ears.

After scraping together the qi from the very bottom of the dantian, he was ready to use [Overrun].

Then he murmured,

"Please cover my back, everyone."

Aisha was heading to the battlefield with about 20 members of the Polaris Knights.

Then, they heard an explosion nearby.

Aisha said,

"Let's go faster, Uncle Maverick."

Maverick Walderk, the captain of the Polaris Knights, replied,

"Let's do that. Everyone, move faster!"

Understood, Captain!

So, Aisha and the Polaris Knights arrived near the battlefield.

The members of the Polaris Knights, wearing heavy armor weighing tens of kilograms and having run on foot, were all exhausted.

Boom!

But now, they heard an explosion from nearby.

Surely, the enemy was within a minute's distance.

"."

They caught their breath roughly and waited for Maverick's command.

Maverick, with fierce eyes, said,

"All troops, prepare for battle."

Prepare for battle!

Having confirmed the readiness of the members, Maverick shouted as if roaring,

"Finally, today! We! Dedicate our hearts to Polaris!"

Aaaaaaah!

"Charge, all troops!"

Charge!

The enraged knights charged towards the source of the explosions.

"Huff, huff, huff."

Where is he? Where is he? Where is he!

He shouted inwardly, but of course, there was no response.

It was nothing but a silent scream, born from fear.

How much time had passed in such anxiety?

"Aaagh!"

A terrible pain was felt in his left thigh.

A massive pain that exceeded the levels of adrenaline secreted by the intense battle.

The [Danger Perception] that had protected him until now no longer activated.

But the pain didn't end there.

"Uh"

He then felt his body rapidly falling.

Both of his ankles had been cut off.

Oswald realized it was the end. His intuition was correct.

His body began to be severed piece by piece.

From the ankles to the knees, then the thighs.

After the lower body was finished, it immediately continued to the upper body.

Starting from the wrists to the forearms, and finally to the shoulders.

All Oswald could do was scream, barely making a sound.

"Ke."

He saw a whirlwind of ash-colored blood before his eyes.

His blood and body parts were fluttering all over the sky.

An ordinary person would have lost consciousness long ago, finding relief.

However, his abnormally strong will did not allow it.

Eventually, the only thing left attached to his torso was his neck.

Theo looked down at Oswald calmly.

"."

Oswald, whose eyes except for the pupils were dyed in blood, coughed violently.

"Cu, cough. Cough, cough, cough!"

He summoned all his remaining strength to look up at Theo. But he could not see his face, only up to his collarbone.

"Cough. You monster. You finally showed your true colors."

There was no reply from Theo. However, Oswald continued.

"I never dreamed I would lose. But it's ironic. I actually feel relieved. Maybe because I lost completely."

Oswald chuckled, lowering his head.

Theo said,

"Any last words?"

Oswald stopped laughing and lifted his head at the voice, which somehow felt incredibly holy.

But he was too weak to lift his head as before.

Looking at Theo's feet, Oswald spoke.

"Son of a b*tch. Pretending to be cool until the end. Makes me seem like the villain, doesn't it?"

Oswald continued,

"Since it's come to this, go all the way, you bastard. I'll be watching from hell to see how far you go."

With those words, Oswald breathed his last.

Theo looked down at Oswald's corpse for a moment, then swish!

He cut off his head with a sword.

Oswald's severed head rolled and stopped at Theo's feet.

For some reason, there was a faint smile on Oswald's lips.
