"How can your body possibly be this strong?!" Ray's voice exploded across the battlefield as he staggered backward slightly, his crimson spear trembling faintly within his grasp.
The disbelief on his face was impossible to hide anymore. Ever since the battle had begun, he had maintained absolute confidence in himself, especially after revealing the terrifying power of his Pseudo Cosmic Path.

And they did.
Every participant standing on the eighth layer had already realized how monstrous Ray's comprehension truly was. Even Jonathan and Julie, two individuals acknowledged as monsters among monsters, had turned serious the moment Ray revealed traces of the Pseudo Cosmic Path.
Yet the person standing directly before him now had completely shattered all of Ray's expectations.
Max had not retreated.
He had not used some profound defensive treasure.
