Xezal had already been using her full strength to fight James.
She was at the Quasi Caelum Acme Rank. Her strength was above James but not enough to overpower and kill him.
Now that she had activated a Secret Art, James felt desperate.
Wynton was the one opponent that had made him feel such despair.
James had encountered countless powerhouses with similar auras, like Yardos and the Boundless Master. However, none of them were his enemies.
Xezal floated in the air with her rapier, which emitted a blinding radiance.
Meanwhile, James quickly healed his injuries.
His goal was to stall for time.
As long as he bought enough time, Soren would be freed from the formation.
After Soren was out of the formation, he could slaughter the powerhouses in the Cloud Universe. Even though he might not be able to wipe out all the Terra Acmeans, many of the powerhouses would die in his hands.
Thea, who was watching from the dark, sensed Xezal’s powerful aura.
Being a powerhouse that used to be at the peak of the Terra Acme Rank, Thea managed to retain her Divine Senses even after the battle in the Primordial Realm. Thus, she was capable of detecting Xezal’s powerful aura.
Thea immediately sensed that Xezal had entered the Caelum Acme Rank.
Swoosh!
A vibration began spreading throughout the Cloud Realm.
Xezal sprung into action. She appeared before James in a flash and slashed her long sword, unleashing a bright golden Sword Energy.
James raised the Death-Celesital Sword to parry the attack.
The golden Sword Energy clashed with the Death-Celestial Sword. A powerful force permeated the sword and crept into James’ arm. He instantly suffered damage along his arm, which spread to his body.
James’ body began to show signs of falling apart.
