"Damn it!"
The figure staggered slightly.
Blake (No. 5), who hadn't yet fully regained his footing, saw the sudden appearance of Vincent (Feng Yu) and the incoming fist. His pupils shrank into pinpoints.
He quickly stepped back, trying to create distance, and crossed his arms in front of him in a defensive stance.
Boom!!!
Blake wasn't able to retreat in time. Vincent's right fist struck his crossed arms with a fierce blow, releasing explosive force in an instant.
The surrounding air burst outward as the impact forced Blake's arms to collapse inward, slamming against his chest.
"Ah!!!"
Blake cried out in pain and spat out blood. Screaming, his body was launched backward like a cannonball, flying far into the distance.
Boom boom boom...
Although Vincent successfully blasted Blake away, it came at a price.
In addition to the attacks from Zack (No. 9), missiles from Ethan (No. 2) also rained down as he struck Blake. The moment Blake was sent flying, a barrage of missiles slammed into Vincent and exploded violently.
Dirt and rocks flew as the earth trembled.
In the deafening roars and raging flames, shockwaves radiated outward, covering a radius of several dozen meters around the epicenter of the blast.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed across the battlefield, catching up with the airborne Blake. It was Caleb (No. 8), who intercepted Blake in midair, catching him with both hands.
The impact from Blake was so violent that Caleb's feet sank into the ground, and he staggered several steps before finally regaining his balance.
"Damn!!"
Once stable, Caleb's eyes widened in shock and anger at the sight of Blake's mangled arms.
Blake's limbs weren't just torn—they were grotesquely bent, clearly suffering from severe bone injuries that would cripple his combat effectiveness.
"Don't worry about me—go kill that beast!" Blake growled, gritting his teeth despite the pain, his face twisted and drenched in sweat.
Breaking free from Caleb's grip, his arms dangled limply and twisted at his sides. Still gasping for breath, he focused on the explosion site.
"With an attack like that… even if he's not dead, he has to be seriously injured!"
Caleb glanced in the same direction, unsure. Against anyone else, such a blast would be fatal. But against Vincent, he couldn't be sure.
Boom!!!
Before the flames even fully dispersed, all six members of the Meteor Pursuit Team—including Caleb and Blake—visibly stiffened.
A figure rose from within the raging flames and soared into the air.
Silver-white wings, six meters wide, unfurled and flapped mightily, whipping up air currents that scattered the flames below.
It was unmistakably Vincent, standing proudly in the air.
His winged thread armor allowed him to float. Although the armor bore signs of damage—fractures and burn marks with glimpses of his body beneath—it began repairing itself rapidly.
In mere seconds, the armor returned to pristine condition.
"Taking two waves of attacks burns through stamina and aura quickly," Vincent thought, scanning the six enemies below with icy eyes. "But with my current reserves, that kind of drain is nothing."
The thread armor, enhanced by the Zhou technique, placed immense strain on both physical and mental energy even just to maintain. Fighting while wearing it consumed even more, especially when it was damaged and required regeneration.
It was similar to the first time he clashed with the Meteor Chasers at the outskirts of Meteor Street. Though that fight hadn't lasted long, it drained him quickly, and he was forced to retreat into Mia's space with her Door Fruit.
But that was then—this is now.
Now, Vincent no longer feared stamina loss or aura depletion.
This transformation was all thanks to the Cell Development Card.
A few days ago, after testing Gatomon's strength, he used the Cell Development Card—and it did not disappoint.
Just as the card described, it allowed him to tap into the full potential of the life force stored in his cells.
His cell development jumped to 100% instantly, triggering incredible changes.
Take aura potential, for example.
Vincent's cell development had been below 50% before. After hitting full development, his aura potential more than doubled.
Considering how much aura he had already built using the Hundredfold Training Card—not to mention his constant daily training—doubling that amount was mind-blowing.
His current aura reserves had easily surpassed 100,000 units.
And that wasn't all—there was also the Yin Seal.
The reason he waited several days before making a move was to reshape a new Yin Seal.
The Yin Seal draws from stored aura. The more aura stored, the larger the seal's capacity.
