Chapter 5677

With Time Reversal shattered, the giant’s fist-still colossal in power-was suddenly riddled with openings. Jared had been waiting for one crack, and now the sky showed nothing but daylight.

Inside the bubble of Time Acceleration, his thoughts and sinews reached their absolute peak. Even as his left hand withdrew, the Dragonslayer Sword in his right hand flashed into a streak that ripped the very skin of the void.

“Sever!” No radiant arc followed, no thunderous boom. Only a single slash-so condensed it devoured the surrounding light-etched a line of midnight across existence.

It slid along the awkward seam where the giant’s old power had faded and new strength had yet to rise, appearing and vanishing within a heartbeat.

Fast! Faster than language, faster than sight, faster even than divine perception! It was a killing stroke born inside the womb of accelerated time, a blow that left the realm of measurement behind!

The giant’s massive frame lurched to a halt, as though some unseen wall had slammed into his charging bulk. He hung there-fist frozen mid-strike—while his dazed gaze drifted downward in search of an explanation his muscles no longer offered.

Against the torchlit gloom, a razor-thin red fissure surfaced, beginning at his left shoulder and carving a slow, merciless path toward his right flank.
