The impact was monstrous.
Jake was sent skidding backward several meters, his boots carving deep grooves into the dirt.
"Ugh!!"
Pain exploded through his forearms.
For a moment, he feared the bones might fracture despite his recent Strength upgrade.
He barely kept his balance, arms throbbing and numb from the force.
Blood trickled from the earlier wound on his side, staining his clothes.
The scarred leader laughed loudly.
"Hah! You actually blocked that? Not bad for a Common class. But how many more can you take?"
With those words, he smashed his fists together—
BAM!
A violent reddish aura exploded outward, coiling around his massive fists like crimson flames.
The air around him distorted from the sheer pressure, and small pebbles on the ground cracked and lifted slightly.
"Time to break you properly, brat," the man growled, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.
He clearly loved the feeling of crushing people's bones.
