There is a "limiter" within the human body.
A physically weak person, when facing a life-or-death crisis, can explode with incredible power.
And Dix's magic operates on precisely this principle.
At the cost of abandoning his rationality, he completely unleashes his potential.
His speed and strength are greatly increased, and he can ignore minor damage for a short time.
Compared to the monsters' strength enhancements in the Dungeon, this is even more potent.
"He's recovered! No, his fighting spirit is even higher than before!"
With a formidable enemy before her, Ryuu set aside her personal feelings.
Her eyes were solemn. A Level 5 could simultaneously fight off three Level 4 adventurers and even gain the upper hand.
And Dix's current state was even more powerful than before.
"My fault, I pushed him a little too hard."
Eugene was no longer casual.
In his opinion, Dix had quickly brought out his hidden ultimate move because he was wary of Eugene's magic.
Two consecutive blasts were already so intimidating.
Who knew how many more times Eugene could use it?
Dix could only choose a quick close-quarters assault for a swift decisive battle!
"Hoo..." Dix's throat rumbled, his aura constantly boiling.
Eugene considered that the pressure this monster gave him was no less than the Black Goliath.
If the Black Giant was specialized in Strength and Endurance,
Then Dix was specialized in Strength, Speed, and Endurance—all of them!
Moreover, his weapon was a spear, which carried a bleeding curse.
Overall, he was even more difficult to deal with than the Black Goliath.
However, Eugene was also no longer the person he once was.
His status board was no longer as ridiculously maxed out in all stats as it was at Level 1.
But the overall improvement in his comprehensive strength was undeniable.
In short, there was pressure, but it wasn't huge!
"Remember the key points I mentioned?"
Eugene's voice was calm. He had already emphasized the crucial combat points to Ryuu and the others the day before, which naturally included the opponent's abilities.
"No problem." Ryuu held up her wooden sword. The weapon looked rustic on the outside, but its essence was cast from the holy branch of the Spirit Forest and was an excellent second-tier weapon.
"Very good." Eugene reached out and touched her forehead. This time, the Infinite light appeared very gentle.
The application of Infinite also included "Guard."
Pure magic power is condensed into a layer, gathered but not dispersed.
Because it is essentially magic power, it can resist one magic attack or block an unexpected blow.
The inspiration for this move came from the "Quen" sign in The Witcher.
Duration: one minute.
"Come on!"
He issued a challenge to Dix, whose muscles were swollen to the limit and whose rationality was strained to the limit!
The fight will be decided in one minute!
Whoosh!
Both sides simultaneously vanished into the air, and in the next instant, they collided mid-air!
"Ugh!" Ryuu's arms were shaken numb. Her Strength stat was only E, so she really wasn't suited for a frontal clash.
With just one exchange, she was knocked flying by Dix.
But confronting him head-on wasn't her job either!
A feint is followed by a heavy blow!
Eugene ignored the flying Elf girl and appeared directly in front of Dix, raising both hands high and grasping the air!
Was he going to smash down with both hands? But at this distance, he couldn't reach the opponent at all.
If it were the usual Dix, he would probably have anticipated the trick.
However, having been blinded by rage, he was left with only forward momentum.
While forging ahead is magnificent, it also means accepting all resistance.
Demonization!
Eugene plucked another wisp of fur from Ox.
Because it was not affixed with the Eternal prefix, this only bought him half a second of hyper-enhancement.
But this flash-in-the-pan burst of power was exactly what Eugene needed.
His face tightened, and the air above his hands rippled with void.
Just as they were about to fall, a giant axe flashing with cold light suddenly appeared!
Three-Axe Maneuver—Cleave the Forehead!!
Buzz!
A fatal crescent wrapped in purple flames slashed through the air!
Bang!!
Dix reacted instantly, raising his spear to block.
But the blow came down like a massive rock pressing down. The immense power was irresistible, directly cracking his spear shaft and sending him crashing to his knees!
Whoosh!
While the opponent was still in a dazed state, Eugene flipped his hands and leaned forward, closing in on the opponent's inner perimeter.
The shadow of the giant axe instantly disappeared, replaced by a cutlass pointed directly at the opponent's throat!
That was Gale's exclusive weapon.
Demonization again!
Eugene didn't hesitate to ignite the fur, and the purple demonic light in his eyes flared brightly.
His movements transformed qualitatively once more. Within the short range where the spear was useless, he wielded the cutlass with both hands, attempting a horizontal slash to take Dix's head!
Chak!
A large amount of blood splashed as the blade cut through, and a swollen, crimson ear flew into the air!
"Aooooh!!"
Dix sharply turned his head, dodging the lethal strike, but still lost his ear.
In this very brief moment, his eyes remained fixed on Eugene!
"Staring at your dad, are you?"
Eugene silently muttered. As his arm slashed horizontally, his hand was already raised.
Bright light shone from his palm—another Infinite!
Dix's face showed horror. Having experienced the power of this move, he raised his hand, ready to clamp Eugene's arm and interrupt his spellcasting.
But just as he was about to exert force, his hand was flicked away by an attack from the side.
It was Ryuu!
Her strength was lacking, but her Speed and Agility were both A-rank.
The moment she was knocked away, she adjusted her posture and swiftly returned to the battlefield.
Finally, at this moment, she found an opportunity to intervene.
Heh, Eugene's mouth curved into a slight smile.
Infinite is an instant cast; there's no wind-up.
He had deliberately manufactured the moment to allow Ryuu to feel involved.
His campaign to win over the girl was ongoing!
Consumed one-tenth of Stamina and Magic: Infinite!
But just as Eugene was about to deliver the killing blow to Dix,
The lunatic recklessly opened his mouth, and with a force that tore the sides of his own lips, he savagely bit down towards Eugene's palm!
Holy cow!
Eugene was still somewhat lacking in combat experience. This kind of maniac inexplicably reminded him of a zombie movie.
Out of fear of unclean things, that poised hand instinctively withdrew an inch.
And it was this half-second retreat that bought Dix the space to survive!
He abruptly snapped his knees up, his leg muscles exploding with power, and his body shot upwards like it was mounted on an ejector seat!
Patap. With a nimble somersault, he landed steadily on the ceiling.
"Uh..."
Eugene gave Ryuu a slightly embarrassed look. The Elf girl's expression was full of disgust.
You're so powerful, and you're afraid of a dog bite?
Eugene couldn't explain it to her, as there were no zombies in this alternate world.
The sound of heavy breathing above their heads brought their attention back.
Dix, hanging upside down from the ceiling, was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.
Both the near-death crisis and the over-strained condition of his body made him feel unwell.
But he was even more certain that if he didn't kill Eugene and Ryuu here, he would never have peace.
He believed he had been caught off guard just now.
Otherwise, either one of the two opponents wouldn't be a match for him.
The bloodshot in his eyes became more severe. Dix did not retreat and prepared to dive down again!
But at that moment, Eugene slightly raised his hand, and the unreleased energy gathered into a ball of light.
"Can't let this go to waste."
He smiled, extended his hand, and pointed it at Dix.
Whoosh!
A beam of snow-white light shot towards the ceiling! In an instant, it pierced through the thick floorboards like tofu!
Dix pushed himself to the limit, successfully leaping and escaping before the beam hit him.
He landed behind the two of them and, without hesitation, shot out like a homing missile, attacking!
But he hadn't anticipated that what he would be meeting wasn't flesh and blood.
It was a sun.
Yes!
In this hall, which was partially exposed to the night sky, a sun had spontaneously risen!
Consumed one-twentieth of Stamina and Magic!
Eugene and Ryuu tightly closed their eyes.
In the next moment, a searing, indescribably blinding light expanded from the center.
In the areas illuminated by the light, even shadows were obliterated, and the outlines of all things dissolved from sight!
The true light of destruction!
This move was the most versatile technique from Dragon Ball.
All-encompassing and without blind spots, it could be used to intimidate Earth's minor villains or to completely blind the galactic tyrant Frieza—
Solar Flare!
