The air in the grotto grew thick with tension as Levi took a slow, deliberate sip from the small vial of Geo-Essence milk.

The moment the liquid touched his tongue, it was as though someone had lit a fire inside his throat as the liquid slid down into his body, evaporating as it flowed and melted into every cell of his body, reigniting his dried up cells with Astra energy.

The fatigue he was feeling at that moment vanished rapidly as his energy started to increase.

At that moment, his meridians surged with energy with a tingling warmth that made his muscles tremble, realizing energy waves.

Seraphina watched this and her serpentine eyes narrowed into slits.

She could sense the subtle change of energy wave in his body, the energy wave he released kept increasing rapidly.

Her forked tongue flicked out again, tasting the air, increasing her sense and what she sensed made her scales ripple with unease.

"You think a little drink will save you?" Seraphina hissed with a snarl.

"I am half a step into the Genetic Soldier stage. You are merely a Rank 7 Super Soldier. The gap between us is is as wide as heaven to earth'"

Levi simply looked at her calmly.

He placed the empty vial back into his spatial ring with a deliberate slowness that seemed to mock her words.

Then, for the first time since she had revealed her true form, he smirked.

"You're right about one thing," He suddenly spoke."There is a gap between us. But you've made a mistake about which direction it goes."

Before she could process his words, Levi's body suddenly trembled as thick veins popped up underneath his skin an to change.

Suddenly, his fingernails started elongated rapidly, extending into razor-sharp claws that was easily four inches long and curved.

His hair, which had been pure dark suddenly tramsformed as it turned white as snow, growing longer and thicker until it fell down his neck, letting it look like a mane in his neck.

His eyes narrowed into vertical slits, like those of a cat, while the irises blazed with an inner crimson light that seemed to pierce straight through to the soul.

His ears stretched and pointed upward, becoming more animalistic. Then, from his forehead, two magnificent horns erupted through his skin, drawing blood.

They curved backward, looking extremely elegant.

But the most dramatic change was in his physique. His muscles, which had already been impressive from months of brutal training and cultivation, suddenly swelled and expanded as though someone had pumped them full of liquid power. His shoulders broadened, his chest more muscular, and every muscle group in his body became extremely streamlined.

He looked like an ancient war god who had descended from the heavens to walk among mortals.

This was the true form of his Divine Thunder Might bloodline ability when pushed to its absolute peak!

In this state, his strength skyrocketed dramatically, multiplying several times over until he stood at the peak of Rank 9 Super Soldier, despite his actual cultivation only being at Rank 7.

The transformation had taken less than a second but to Seraphina, it was extremely quick.

The confident sneer had completely vanished from her serpentine features, replaced by something she hadn't felt in years, fear!

Her eyes widened and she knew if she didn't attack now, things might get even worse. She didn't give him time to settle into his new form as she moved with the of a missile!

Her snake-like lower body suddenly coiled and then released like an arrow being shot by a bow, launching her forward with an insane speed that she seemed to simply vanish from where she had been standing.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of her movement was like a whip crack amplified a thousand times.

She instantly appeared directly in front of Levi, her body moving in a snake like pattern that made her trajectory almost impossible to predict.

Her black dagger flashed as she slashed through Levi's throat, the edge of the blade leaving afterimages through the air.

The speed of the slash was so fast that not even a normal level 9 Super soldier's speed could match it!

"Thunder Step!"

"Crackle!"

Thunder crackled underneath Levi's feet and his senses expanded greatly.

Time seemed to slow down and he could suddenly see the individual scales on her arms shifting as her muscles contracted for the strike. He could hear the whistle of air being displaced by her blade. He could even smell the scent of the poison on her weapon.

Levi suddenly laughed like a maniac.

"Haha! Good!"

His muscles suddenly trembled as thunder astra energy crackled through his pores.

With insane speed, he lifted his arms as slashed at the blade.

"Clang!"

The sound rang out like a bell being struck by a massive hammer.

Sparks flew in every direction from the point of impact, illuminating the scarlet bright cave with brief flashes of orange and white light. The force of the collision was so intense that it created a visible shockwave of compressed air that rippled outward in a perfect circle, blasting loose pebbles and dust away from them in all directions.

Seraphina's eyes widened in disbelief. Her full-power strike, delivered with the enhanced strength of someone standing at the threshold of the Genetic Soldier stage, had been blocked.

The shock of the impact traveled up her arm, making her arms numb in the process.

She didn't even have time to process this impossible development because Levi was already counterattacking. His free hand shot out with blinding speed, reaching for her extended arm with those newly formed claws glinting dangerously.

Seraphin twisted her serpentine lower body in an impossible angle as though she was made of rubber spine bending at an angle that defied normal human anatomy.

Her powerful snake tail whipped around from behind her in a devastating arc, leaving white mark in the air as it aimed directly at Levi's midsection with enough force to shatter solid stone.
