Chapter 310: Luke Decided To Use New Titan Fusion Form.

Zeyr narrowed his eyes as he analyzed what had just happened.

"He caught the Mid-B-rank by surprise."

His gaze remained fixed on the battlefield.

"And that clone appears to have Early B-rank physical strength as well."

Karon looked equally surprised.

"Earlier, his aura only felt like Half-B-rank, but now even that has reached Early B-rank."

The surprise was shared across the entire group.

From crossing the arena barrier with Void movement, to physically stopping a Mid-B-rank attack without suffering serious damage, and now revealing another increase in his apparent strength, Luke had already overturned most of their expectations.

Larael stared at him in disbelief.

"How can he become this strong while his cultivation is only Early D-rank?"

Everything she had heard about heroes failed to properly explain what she was seeing.

Nolan, meanwhile, had finally stopped staring in shock.

"The legends really are true?" He glanced toward Luke.

"Is the last summoned Hero really the strongest?"

Kira had already regained consciousness after taking the potion and was now watching the battlefield from the spectator seat.

Her eyes remained on Luke. There was clear gratitude in them.

Zeyr shook his head. "I don’t know."

He paused before offering another possibility.

"Maybe all of the heroes summoned this time are abnormal."

He had yet to meet any of the other current heroes.

He hadn’t even encountered the Dragon Hero of this era.

Luke was the first.

That made it difficult to know whether Luke was simply an exception or whether all the current heroes possessed unusual qualities.

The spectators eventually turned toward Selene.

She was smiling proudly.

She had expected Luke to be strong, but even she had been surprised by what he had shown.

"My husband is the best." So, she whispered it softly.

For her, that was enough.

Nolan glanced at her and shook his head.

"She seems completely fallen."

He had never expected the Scarlet Witch to become so deeply attached to someone.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Brynessa and Mella were watching the battle closely.

"Miss, is the legend really true?" Mella’s voice carried obvious curiosity.

Even she hadn’t expected the current Hero of Light to be this powerful without having completed his awakening.

Brynessa continued watching Luke as he slowly approached Marrec.

"Legend is indeed true."

She paused.

"But this hero seems unusually powerful."

"Unusually?" Mella quietly repeated the word.

The battle below continued.

Bang!

The dust cloud surrounding Marrec suddenly exploded outward.

He emerged from the rubble, his eyes burning with fury.

"HERO OF LIGHT!"

His voice shook with rage.

"YOU WILL DIE TODAY!"

Marrec raised both arms.

The ten Sear spheres behind him began rotating at high speed.

Then he roared.

"SEARWHEEL!"

"ULTIMATE ABILITY!"

"SEARWHEEL: BATTLE FORM!"

The instant those words left his mouth, the ten spheres stopped rotating.

The first five immediately flew toward him.

They moved with incredible speed.

Before touching his body, each sphere began changing shape.

Dense streams of Infernal Flame wrapped around them, and their spherical forms stretched and transformed into pieces of armor.

The first sphere became the chest and torso armor.

The second transformed into armor covering his right arm.

The third became the armor for his left arm.

The fourth transformed into his right leg armor.

The fifth became the armor covering his left leg.

The five pieces merged together.

Infernal Flame surged between them, locking the armor into place.

Marrec’s body rapidly expanded.

His height increased until he became a fifty-foot-tall giant wearing massive infernal armor resembling the armor of a samurai.

His original body remained sealed within the chest armor.

Even so, his silhouette could still be seen through the flames covering the outer structure.

But the transformation wasn’t finished.

Two of the remaining five Sear spheres rose above him.

Their surfaces expanded, while their flames compressed.

Within moments, they had transformed into two miniature suns made entirely from highly condensed Infernal Flame.

The two spheres rotated around each other above and slightly behind Marrec.

They released a constant supply of Infernal Flame into the Battle Form, maintaining the transformation and feeding energy into the massive body.

Each miniature sun was only about one hundred meters in diameter.

Even at that size, the heat radiating from them was enough to melt a B-rank being who remained too close for too long.

The remaining three Sear spheres also transformed.

One became a gigantic greatsword.

[INFERNAL GREATSWORD]

Dense Infernal Flame packed into the weapon so tightly that the sword behaved almost like solid metal despite being formed entirely from energy.

The second became another defensive structure.

[INFERNAL TORSO ARMOR]

A large reinforced plate formed over the front and back of Marrec’s upper body.

It didn’t fully merge with the primary armor.

Instead, it acted as an additional defensive layer that also protected the real body sealed inside.

Finally, the last Sear sphere transformed.

[INFERNAL CHAINS]

Several long chains emerged, each one made entirely from condensed Infernal Flame.

They wrapped around one of Marrec’s arms.

Unlike ordinary chains, they remained directly connected to his limb and could extend outward over long distances.

Marrec lowered the huge Infernal Greatsword.

"Now DIE!" with that, he charged toward Luke.

The fifty-foot-tall figure moved with surprising speed, each step causing the arena beneath him to tremble as he crossed the distance.

Nolan stared in disbelief.

"What a monster!"

He had finally understood. Marrec had been holding back.

This wasn’t even the same level as the earlier fight.

Zeyr’s expression also became serious.

"Seems he was a prodigy of his time."

The more he observed the Battle Form, the more impressed he became.

Marrec’s Origin Skill wasn’t limited to a single attack.

It could function as offense, defense, mobility, energy supply, and restraint.

That kind of versatility was extremely rare, especially among people at lower ranks.

"Even I would have to use my full strength to defeat him now."

Zeyr admitted after analyzing Marrec’s current state.

On the Infernal Choir’s side, Mella’s expression finally relaxed.

"With this, Luke will die." She whispered the words.

Brynessa didn’t answer. Her gaze remained on Luke.

Somehow, she still didn’t believe, that Luke had shown everything he could do.

Especially Luke’s those strange transformations.

She was right.

Luke was already preparing his next move.

He was going to fuse Azrion, the Atlas Titan, with his current Void Titan form.

The fusion carried a name.

A name that should never have been possible.

A Titan that couldn’t exist naturally in any universe because its very existence violated the rules upon which everything had been constructed.

Luke’s voice was quiet beneath his helmet.

"Vorthar—"

The world around him seemed to grow still for a brief moment.
