34. Overload

The shining blue and purple lights shone more violently as the surging electricity and pulsating dark energy reacted.

Tiffany: Max...

Ken: Max...

Luke: Max...

Both Wolfram and Max struggled as the energy sent sparks that hit Max's face and Wolfram's crystal shield.

Eventually, an energy explosion occurred, shaking the entire room and sending Max to the ground.

Tiffany, Ken, and Luke: Max!

He landed on the ground and quickly started to get back up. His eyes ever fixiated on Wolfram.

The crystal on Wolfram's body was massively damaged. There was no crystal armour left on his arm, and his hand was visibly damaged.

Aloysius panted as he looked down at Max getting up.

Aloysius: As it would turn out, you really were worth my time. I'll admit that much. However, you are still not strong enough.

It was at that point that Rose woke up.

Rose: Uhhh. wh... what's going on..?!

Ken: Rose!

Rose: Ken?

Rose turned around to bear witness to a Max surrounded by a blue aura looking up to Wolfram, who was then repairing his crystal shield.

Rose: M... Max?

Max did not answer.

He simply kept staring at Wolfram.

Aloysius: You see, Max. Without your speed, you have no chance of catching me unawares. In short, this fight is over.

Rose: Wh... what happened!

Ken: Max went berserk.

Rose: What!

Max kept staring at him.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Ken continued to scan him.

Aloysius: Well, have you given up?

Max did not answer.

Rose: Max!

He still did not answer.

Ken: Wait!

Rose: Huh!

Tiffany: Ken, what's going on?

Ken: A huge surge of energy, Max is...

Max put out his hand.

Above it, on a fixed point above his own hand, blue rays appeared to start coming out from his hand, converging at that one fixed point.

Aloysius: What is that?

Ken: Rose, take cover!

Rose: But...

Ken jumped and grabbed Rose and took her to the ground behind some rocks.

The tiny dot over his palm suddenly expanded to form a blue ball about the size of Max's hand.

Aloysius: Is that your final blow? Very well...

Aloysius prepared a dark crystal spear charged with dark energy.

Aloysius: Come.

Max rushed towards him. This time, not behind him, but rather, right in front of him.

He jumped into the air with the ball and charged at him in the air while Aloysius charged at him with the spear, and they clashed.

Max still remained silent.

The blue ball of energy seemed small compared to the spear but was disintergrating the spear with every passing second.

Aloysius, in response, tried to send even more energy through the spear.

Aloysius: GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Rose, Tiffany, Ken, and Luke: MAX!

Aloysius: GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH (thinking: How, just how is he so powerful?)

The ball grew ever closer to Wolframs's body, with each passing second.

Aloysius: Why you...

Wolfram used his other hand to further power up his spear, but it only slowed Max down.

Ken: He... he's actually doing it.

Tiffany: I don't believe it.

Luke: No way!

Rose: Max...

Rose held her hands to her heart.

Aloysius: Grrrr.

The energy ball had just about collided with Wolfram when he put his hands together to focus all of his energy to power up the remaining crystal between himself and Max's energy ball.

Aloysius: Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Cracks begun to appear in the crystal.

Aloysius: You little brat!

And then the crystal cracked, and an explosion occurred.

It wasn't like any other normal explosion of gas and smoke. It was like an explosion of blue electrical energy.

Ken held Rose back as the explosion took place.

Rose: Max!

Tiffany turned her head, and Luke closed his eyes.

The blue electrical energy frizzled all of their hair in a powerful shining light.

Once the explosion was done, both combatants began their motionless fall to the ground.

Rose: Max!

Rose quickly used her powers to hold Max in the air while Wolfram hit the ground.

She pulled Max towards herself and Ken.

Rose: Max! Max! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!

Rose gently lay him on the ground and held him. He was unconscious.

Rose: Ken!

Ken quickly scanned him.

Ken: His energy levels. They're almost at zero.

Rose: Max! Max! Come on, Max!

A rumbling of rock could be heard in the distance. It was Wolfram. And he looked absolutely destroyed. His hair was frizzled, his face had burn marks, and his attire was scorched.

He shakily got up while panting.

Ken: You!

Ken shakily got up as well and put his hand between himself and Rose.

Aloysius simply looked at Max's unconscious body in Rose's arms and looked at Ken.

Ken's eyes turned red towards him.

Aloysius, in defeat, turned into crystal and teleported away.

Ken: He's gone!
