Max didn't waste a single second and rolled sideways to avoid the silent attack. He didn't see it, but he felt the danger from it.
If it had landed on him, he might have had a deep gash on his shoulders.
'Damnation! A Silver-Ranker!' Max cursed under his breath and quickly made a decision. 'Big Sis! Rank me up!'
[You sure about that?]
'Yeah! I'll deal with the aftermath later,' Max thought, as Everform transformed into a dark, dull blade.
In the next second, he parried an incoming dagger, feeling his bones screaming at him under the impact.
Knowing that he couldn't defend it head-on, he began to deflect the other attacks while getting pushed back.
Then, he kicked his opponent when he saw an opening.
The dark figure backed away and looked at Max with its dark eyes. There was a hint of intrigue in his eyes, but mostly it was murder.
All of a sudden, Max felt a warm current washing over his body, repairing the minor damage he had received and making him stronger than ever.
