Salute to the General novel Chapter 3544

And so, he harnessed every ounce of energy within his form.

His body inflated instantly, resembling a balloon poised to burst.

No sooner said than done, Nathan's blade descended upon Arlo's forehead without hesitation.

Yet, as his blade met Arlo's form, Nathan sensed that something was off.

As anticipated, as his blade sliced through Arlo's skull, Arlo's distended body erupted in an instantaneous explosion.

Boom!

Similar to a detonating missile.

Abruptly, a crater the size of a pond materialized in the area.

Even though Nathan recognized the anomaly the instant Arlo's body detonated and attempted to retreat, he was still caught in the shockwave of Arlo's erupting form, sending him hurtling dozens of meters through the air. As he landed, he managed to regain his balance with some difficulty.

A surge of agony coursed through his form, as though his life force and blood were being violently churned within him.

With a deep exhalation, he strained to suppress the turbulent energy surging within him. Only then did the discomfort in his chest gradually abate.

As he assessed his wounds, he discovered a myriad of small injuries, surprisingly inflicted by the force of Arlo's explosion.

The gods' vanguard dispatched to Earth had already suffered significant casualties. Out of the two marquises, one had perished and the other was severely wounded.

Such a profound loss would have induced nationwide mourning among the gods.

Witnessing Arlo's heroic demise left the nearby god warriors in a state of disarray, moving about like automatons.

Nathan aimed to exploit this moment to escape the encirclement before formulating his next steps.

Yet, just as he was poised to break free, a deep and potent voice resounded from a distance. “Nathan, how dare you slay my marquis? Today, you shall undoubtedly meet your end.”

The voice rumbled akin to resounding thunder.

While not overtly loud, it carried distinctly for dozens of miles around.

Nathan's countenance paled as he slowly shifted his gaze in the direction of the booming voice.
