Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 703 The White Line

The Blind Commander hoped to get back into the fight with his leaps, but his opponent was ready for it.

Moreover, Adam wasnʼt going to let The Blind Commander back onto the platform, he was going to win right here and now.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The crimson energy flowed through his body, while purple flames ran through the two rings.

Neither Silvana, nor Blind Commander, knew what Adamʼs new Nexus was about, what its rings possessed, yet it was no great secret to the Evolution Tree.

[Oh... The crimson rings bring destructive power to your hands.... but... things are a little different now... isnʼt it?]

Whooooooooooooosh.

Adamʼs eyes sparkled as his hands headed forward directly towards the Blind Commander who was still in the air.

He aimed to grab the Blind Commanderʼs legs, but at the last moment, the Blind Commander created a wall of ice between them, not to protect himself but to use it as a base for retreat.

Without wasting a second, the Blind Commander leaped forward, flying right over Adam, soon finding himself in the center of the platform.

His ice sword was still in his hand, in a tight grip, emitting streams of cold, frosty vapor.

The monster stared intently at Adam, sensing a natural menace from him despite his heavy wounds.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Clots of dark blood crashed to the ground, dripping off the Blind Commanderʼs bandages around his head.

Silvana thought that after a direct blow to the head, the Blind Commander had already lost, but that didnʼt happen. However, it didnʼt change the fact that Adamʼs punch was really powerful.

Trying to think of a plan of action, the Blind Commander glanced around, but soon returned his gaze to Adam, afraid that he would attack again.

However, for some reason, Adam was still standing on the platformʼs edge, as if he didnʼt need to get too close to his opponent.

Soon, echoed Adamʼs menacing voice:

”Hey, I donʼt know what youʼre thinking, but I want only victory.” Stomp.

With full confidence, Adam stepped forward like a shadow soon finding himself in front of Blind Commander.

Nothing seemed to change, Adam was still as fast as ever, but the Blind Commander wasnʼt naive enough to believe it.

He felt that the purple flames on the rings would get him into a lot of trouble.

Whoooooooooooosh.

A tightly clenched fist headed towards the Blind Commanderʼs chest. Immediately, the monster put his sword out in front of him, going to block Adamʼs attack just as he had done dozens of times before.

Yet, something was different now.

Instead of Adamʼs fist becoming more powerful to maximize the impact, it slowly unfolded itself.

Before the Blind Commander could realize anything, Adamʼs fist turned into a palm held forward like a sharp blade.

In a heartbeat, Adamʼs expression changed from an excited one to a calm one, as if he was following the mode of his new Nexus.

In the second mode, he didnʼt have to fight like a savage warrior and destroy everything in his path.

It was a more elegant, no... more professional if he was a real weaver.

A bright purple flash reflected on the Blind Commanderʼs face as a tiny star appeared on the tip of Adamʼs middle finger.

Then, the energy from the star covered the tips of the rest of his fingers, turning into a dense, bright line of white energy with a purple hue.

Adamʼs cold eyes went upward, looking at the monsterʼs tattered bandages, as if believing that somewhere behind them were hidden eyes as well.

”I have only your legs left to strike, but.... how could I resist such an opportunity?” Whoooooooosh.

Adam swung his palm sharply from top to bottom, despite the lightning speed his movements seemed smooth and even slow, as if he was in no hurry.

A white line with purple edges radiating like mist arose in front of the Blind Commander, floating serenely in the air.

”Gha...”

The cold vapor came out of Adamʼs mouth as his two rings shone brightly.

At the same moment, the white line shuddered before shrinking to a complete disappearance.

Gust.

Thick streams of blood rushed from the right side of the Blind Commanderʼs body.

A perfectly even cut, as if made not on his flesh but on space, appeared on his shoulder, arm, torso, and leg, all on one side.

It wasnʼt some quick, weak attack that couldnʼt be dodged, it carried serious damage.

The white line couldnʼt cut the Blind Commanderʼs bones, but it made them crack, and everything in the way, flesh and blood were separated, revealing a view of the snow-white bones.

Apparently, at that point, Adam passed the Blind Commanderʼs challenge, as part of the cut landed on the monsterʼs leg, which was the last of the three strikes.

Yet, Adam wasnʼt going to stop there. He was going to show everything he was capable of with his new Nexus. Experience tales at

Whoooooooosh.

With full confidence in his actions in his gaze, Adam jumped back when his rings shook again.

His energy was coming to an end, even considering that he was no longer a true K2W0-Phantom but a much stronger one, his Nexus was of an even higher level.

This was both his reward and punishment for what his desires did with the Two Walls.

ʼEven if itʼs my last attack, with the help of runes and fortress, Iʼll be able to recover. I donʼt know what the Blind Commander will do now, but I canʼt take any chances. I have to pass on right now.ʼ

Earlier, the Blind Commander had already tried to kill Adam. Actually, Adam didnʼt believe that the Blind Commander would change his mind, but the monster didnʼt expect to be injured so seriously.

”Agh... Agh... Agh...”

The Blind Commander breathed heavily before raising his head and looking at Adam standing ten meters away from him, not far from a powerful stream of blue flame.

For some reason, Adamʼs rings now had two different colors, as well as the veil waves running down his body.

Images of Adamʼs past attacks quickly appeared in the Blind Commanderʼs mind, trying to figure out what awaited him this time.

The Evolution Tree knew the answer, reading it from Adamʼs gaze.

[Well... well... Heʼs finally getting closer to where he started... The Phantomʼs path is changing me... and all the components of his powers force... but... it works both ways...]

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The Initial Gene sitting at the center of the Evolution Tree trembled slightly as if to confirm its words.

[Yeah... Itʼs unlikely that Adam will ever follow the path of his first monster.... but... his desires arenʼt much different.]

The evolution Tree, Silvana, and the Blind Commander surely realized one thing about Adamʼs new Nexus: While his rings were in crimson flame, his melee attacks received a powerful destructive force, not only physical but energy as well. His first attack created an explosion that left a serious wound on the Blind Commanderʼs stomach.

The crimson rings were in aggressive mode.

While his rings were in purple flame, the hard and brutal attacks changed to precise but deadly cuts, they possessed even more piercing power than Adamʼs needle but required more time, the right conditions, and energy.

The purple rings were a calm mode.

But, what was supposed to happen when Adam activated the two powers at the same time?

Was it possible to combine them at all?

Tap.

Staring intently at the Blind Commander, Adam put his hands out in front of him, the purple ring at the top, while the crimson one was at the bottom.

His arms were tightly locked together down to his wrists, his palms spread slightly apart like an open beastʼs jaw, picking its target to devour.

Whooooooooooooosh.

A powerful stream of energy traveled down Adamʼs arms, causing crimson blobs of energy next to the confused Blind Commander.

Realizing that he was surrounded and that a powerful blast was likely waiting for him, the Blind Commander thrust his sword into the ground, channeling down the cold energy.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The platform shuddered as massive blocks of ice appeared around the Blind Commander, trying to protect him from any impending threat.

It was not a lone wall, but a dome protecting its master on all sides.

Well, something the Blind Commander was wrong about, Adam wasnʼt going to blow him up, that wasnʼt the point of his abilities and never was.

At high speed, the crimson clots dispersed into a vast cloud surrounding the Blind Commander, as if the weather decided to unleash its wrath on him alone.

Then, Adamʼs eyes flashed purple, and similar particles appeared in the cloud.

Compared to the crimson cloud, they were very few, just a tiny fraction, but they represented a major force.

Slash. Slash. Slash.

In a heartbeat, each purple particle turned into a white blade, rapidly increasing in size and descending upon the Blind Commander.

Back then, no one believed that the ice was capable of protecting the monster, not Adam, not Silvana, not Blind Commander himself.

He just watched as hundreds of blades sliced apart everything in their path.
