Global Descent: Heaven's Executioner-Chapter 54:

The remaining golden swords continued raining down toward him from the sky.

Seeing this, the fat young man nearly cried out in frustration.

"Are you trying to skewer me?

Seeing the golden swords raining down from the sky, the fat young man’s scalp went numb.

"This lunatic...!"

He cursed under his breath while pushing his speed to the absolute limit.

His body twisted and turned rapidly as he ran through the ruins.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One golden sword after another pierced down from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each blade that missed him slammed violently into the ground, blasting huge craters into the already shattered ruins. Dust and broken stones flew everywhere.

The entire area looked as if it were being bombarded by divine punishment. Despite this, the fat young man’s movements were astonishingly agile.

His round body rolled, twisted, and dashed through the destruction with incredible flexibility. He narrowly avoided several blades by the width of a hair.

However—

Slash!

One of the golden swords finally grazed his arm.

Blood instantly splashed into the air.

"Ah—!"

The fat young man let out a pained cry as his body staggered slightly.

Zayen, taking advantage, already quickly caught up to them. fat young man and directly swept out a wave of sword energy.

The fat young man’s expression changed, and he hurriedly jumped to dodge.

Taking advantage of the moment, he jumped; Zayen pursued like a bolt of lightning, arriving close in an instant and slashing his sword directly at the opponent.

Clang!

The fat young man hurriedly raised his sword to parry while roaring, "Bastard, don’t force me!!"

"Force?"

A burst of golden light suddenly erupted from the Blacksteel Katana in his hand. The terrifying sword strike crashed down like a falling mountain.

Crack!

The fat young man’s sword shattered instantly under the overwhelming force.

His body was blasted out of the air and slammed heavily onto the ground below.

Boom!

Before he could even catch his breath, he saw Zayen’s sword already descending straight down from above like a bolt of judgment.

The fat young man’s face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he rolled to the side like a donkey.

Slash!

Zayen’s sword struck the ground right beside him, splitting the stone floor open.

Seeing the blade fall just past his body, the fat young man let out a long breath of relief.

He hurriedly rolled backward and jumped to his feet, creating some distance between himself and Zayen.

His breathing had become slightly heavy now. The earlier exchange had clearly cost him a lot of energy.

Zayen, on the other hand, looked almost completely unaffected.

Seeing this, the fat young man’s expression darkened. "To be able to force this move out of me... you should feel honored."

The aura around the fat young man suddenly began to surge violently. The air around him trembled.

Then—

Boom!

A powerful crimson aura erupted from his body like a blazing flame, spreading outward in all directions.

The ground beneath his feet cracked as the terrifying energy burst forth. Zayen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the sudden change.

The next moment, something even more shocking happened. The fat young man’s body began to change. His originally round and bloated figure started shrinking at a visible speed. The layers of fat rapidly tightened and compressed.

His loose robe fluttered wildly as his body transformed.

Within just a few breaths. The once chubby figure had completely disappeared. Standing there now was a well-built young man with a powerful physique, his muscles firm and defined.

The transformation made him look almost like a completely different person.

His aura had also risen dramatically. The previously harmless appearance was gone.

What remained now was a fierce and dangerous warrior.

Zayen’s expression slowly turned serious as he put away his relaxed demeanor. This time, he would not underestimate his opponent.

The air between the two instantly became heavy.

The crimson aura surrounding the transformed young man burned like raging flames, distorting the air around him. His once round figure had completely disappeared, replaced by a tall, well-built body packed with explosive strength.

He slowly twisted his neck.

Crack. Crack.

The sound of his joints popping echoed faintly across the ruined battlefield.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet exploded as he kicked off with terrifying force. In an instant, his body shot forward like a cannonball.

His speed was several times faster than before. Even the air behind him exploded with a loud boom.

Zayen’s pupils shrank slightly.

So fast.

But he didn’t retreat. Instead, his six golden wings suddenly spread wide behind him.

Golden light burst forth as he stepped forward.

The two figures collided in the middle of the battlefield like meteors crashing together.

Clang!!

A thunderous metallic explosion rang out.

The young man’s heavy blade slammed against the Blacksteel Katana, producing a violent shockwave that tore across the ruins.

Broken pillars collapsed. Dust and stones shot into the air. For a moment, the two remained locked in place, their weapons grinding against each other.

Zayen’s eyes turned cold. Without warning, he suddenly twisted his wrist.

Slash!

The Blacksteel Katana slid along the opponent’s blade and cut toward his shoulder like a flash of lightning. But the young man reacted instantly.

He twisted his body, barely avoiding the deadly strike. The blade sliced through the air only centimeters away from his skin.

Before Zayen could follow up, the young man’s fist suddenly exploded forward.

BOOM!

A punch wrapped in crimson energy shot straight toward Zayen’s chest. Zayen crossed his sword in front of him to block.

Bang!

The impact blasted him backward through the air. His six golden wings flapped violently as he stabilized himself midair.

Below, the well-built young man slowly lowered his fist. A wide smile appeared on his face.

Crimson energy erupted violently from the young man’s body.

BOOM!

The ground beneath him exploded as he shot toward Zayen like a blazing meteor.

But midway through the charge, his figure suddenly split apart. In the blink of an eye, ten identical figures burst across the sky, each wrapped in a violent crimson aura as they charged straight toward Zayen.

The sky instantly filled with killing intent.

Zayen’s expression turned serious when he saw the ten identical figures rushing toward him. Without hesitation, he drew the Crimson Eclipse Sword as well.

Now holding the Blacksteel Katana in one hand and the Crimson Eclipse Sword in the other, Zayen’s aura instantly changed.

Hesitating for just a moment, Zayen flapped his wings and surged forward, ready to clash with the ten identical figures rushing toward him.

Zayen’s wings beat violently, golden feathers slicing through the air as he closed the distance. The ten identical figures met him in unison, their crimson auras flaring like a deadly storm.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zayen swung the Crimson Eclipse Sword. The blade tore through the air, leaving a streak of golden light that cut through two of the approaching figures in a single slash.

Swish!

Another three figures lunged from the sides, attempting to surround him. Zayen spun midair, his Blacksteel Katana and Crimson Eclipse Sword moving in perfect harmony. One blade parried, the other slashed, creating a deadly crossfire of steel and light. Sparks erupted, and shockwaves rippled across the battlefield, shattering the remaining ruins nearby.

Zayen twisted his body, letting a golden wing sweep outward. The powerful gust sent two more clones flying backward, their auras flickering as they struggled to stay upright.

The remaining figures hesitated, calculating.

They were fast, but Zayen’s speed and his dual blades were faster. In an instant, he surged forward, closing the gap between them. Slash! Slash! Slash!

Three figures fell in succession, their bodies splitting apart with a flash of crimson light as Zayen’s blades struck with surgical precision.

The fat young man, now fully transformed, roared from the sky, his own ten forms converging from above. The air vibrated with the tension of clashing power. Zayen’s wings beat faster, lifting him into a higher arc.

He twisted midair and slammed the Crimson Eclipse Sword downward. Golden light exploded on impact, knocking back two more clones. The last two attempted to flank him, but Zayen anticipated it. With a flick of his wrist, the Blacksteel Katana shot forward like a bolt, slicing one figure clean in half.

Boom!

The final clone froze, realizing it was the last. Zayen’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t give mercy. Both swords blurred, crossing in a lethal X-shape. In a single, fluid motion, the last clone shattered into fragments of crimson.

The transformed fat young man’s ten forms flickered and merged back into one. His eyes widened as he stared at Zayen.

The fat young man twisted around, wanting to run again, knowing deep down that even in his transformed state, he was no match for Zayen.

But escape was impossible. Zayen’s eyes followed him calmly, sharp and unyielding. He knew that if the fat young man ran now, he wouldn’t be able to catch him, even at full speed.

Seeing the attempt, Zayen’s aura flared. He activated Divine Manipulation.

In the next instant, golden chains shot out from the ground like living spears, wrapping around the transformed young man’s body with unstoppable force.
