BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240 The Winner
"Oh..." Kiba sensed his degu energy, and he was indeed running low. Then he turned his head at Kate with a question mark on his face. "What the fuck happened to you? And what are that shining wings beside Azazel!?"
"He found a way to allocate his energy. You know the limitations of his ability, right?" Kate answered.
Kiba nodded, "Yes, his body can absorb energy that exceeds three to five times his degu energy amount."
"Look at his body, although it looks strong. The stress his body is undergoing is too much. A rank body stats is his safe zone, but he pushed it to S rank, which is already on the borderline of explosion."
"Well, we can't blame him. Among the three of us, he is the one who wants to train with boss Fein the most." Kiba chuckled.
...
Voli stared at the golden wings, then he sensed that he has only fifty percent of degu energy in his reserves before running out.
'At this rate, I'm going to lose.'
Voli knew that the next exchange would determine the winner. And he wasn't confident at all because every attack he released was just absorbed.
'Voli needs to make a sharp attack, and his paw is the only one that can provide this.' Fein sighed.
For him, to counter Azazel's Energy Absorption. One had to have sharp attacks that could pierce or stab Azazel, bypassing the kinetic energy absorption. Swords and daggers are a literal nemesis of this while blunt weapons would just empower it.
Voli felt troubled, as he didn't know what to do. So he decided to give his all and if he lose at least he did his best. Just like that, his degu reserves were consumed in one go.
Thousands of purple flashes of lightning appeared in the sky with tornadoes appearing occasionally. Thunder and lightning rampaged in the sky deafening on the ears of everyone.
"What a terrible power." Anthony felt helpless in the face of such a phenomenon. "He might have the chance now if that shit hits Azazel."
"Azazel can't absorb energy anymore. Because even if he redirects it to make other items, he won't be able to do it faster with such a large amount of energy." Ceterus sighed.
"He can do it if he discharges it." Fein gave his thoughts...
'Shit, he can still condense another one?' Azazel gulped. He was aware of the state of his body more than anyone.
Just maintaining his current S-rank stats already gave too much load on his body. And he knew that he won't be able to redirect the next batch of energy or strengthen his current wings because his cell wasn't as hungry as they were earlier.
"It's now or never." Azazel clenched the energy spear in his hands.
Seeing this, Voli immediately launched the thousands of lightning in the sky to converge into a one-hundred-meter thunder spear.
"Shit! with the razor-sharp point of that thing, it would bypass my absorption." Fein grinned as he saw his buddy make the appropriate move this time. "If he did this earlier, he would have already defeated Aza-" Before he could even finish his words...
A flickering sound emerged at the back of Azazel as it started to flap at a high frequency.
Suddenly, he became blurry for a moment before he vanished under everyone's astonished eyes.
THUD!
Blood splattered on the ground, And Voli fell into the desert sand, bleeding profusely. Azazel emerged behind Voli with his bright golden wings and energy spear.
He looked at the one-hundred-meter spear in the sky that gradually dissipated. 'That's literally my weakness. If not for the greater acceleration my Icarus Wing had given me, I would be the one on the ground now.'
'Now, I can finally train with my idol.' A happy smile appeared on Azazel's face, then his light wings disappeared along with the spear. And he fell to the ground unconscious.
Fein appeared instantly, and he made his way to Voli with worry on his face. He didn't expect Azazel's wings would give him such a short burst of speed. He touched Voli's neck, when he felt the vigorous pulse, he finally heave a sigh of relief. Then he saw the two large holes in Voli's body.
Honestly, he was surprised at the speed Azazel performed. If was him, he needs to use his 'Chess Perception' in conjunction with 'Ghecko Substitution' to dodge that terrifying sudden acceleration. But there's no doubt that, If Voli used his last attack earlier, he might have won.
'Fortunately, Azazel has a sense of measure.' Fein stared at the unconscious Azazel with appreciation. 'It looks like I would train with them now.'
'Probe!'

'It's really a temporary increase...'
Then he looked at Kate and Kiba and smiled. "Come, pick up your friend here! And as an agreement. I would train with you for a month."
Kate and Kiba pumped up their fist in the air with excitement and ran enthusiastically to Azazel's body.
"That was a good show. And the kid's acceleration is the highlight." Gregory smiled.
"Yeah, that's some cool move right there." Anthony nodded his head in approval.
Ceretus, on the other hand, stared at the unconscious white bear in the distance. 'Legendary Beasts are really terrifying, just like the rumors. If it's not Azazel who he faced, he could even kill hundreds of A-rank in the same realm as him.'
Ceretus knew that if the hundred-meter thunder spear and the first attacks such as wind-thunder energy ball are enough to inflict wounds or lightly injure S-ranks like him, if not careful. Azazel was only lucky because of his almost invincible 'Energy Absorption' that gave him a defense that was hard to deal with. Only sharp projectiles or attacks could harm Azazel.
'If that Legendary Beast ascended to S rank...' Ceterus smiled, he could feel the rise of their Xeno Great Alliance in the future. 'And at that time, this country would have six S-rank.'
