Chapter 72: The Reversal of Master and Servant (Part 2)

This is insane…

Shirone was using the strategy of forcing him to hold on, waiting for the right moment to defeat him. It made sense, but it was also reckless. He had already fired over 200 mentally draining shots like the Photon Cannon, yet Shirone showed no sign of tiring, and the flashes kept coming.

How is your mental power this massive?

The thought sent chills down his spine. As dozens of Photon Cannons filled his field of vision, despair sank in. There were so many flashes blocking every possible route to the Dark Fort.

I can’t dodge this. It’s over.

His frustration turned into anger, but there was a deeper fear. He wasn’t scared of dying—he feared being defeated by the mage of light in front of his Master.

“That’s annoying. Harvest…” he muttered.

“Harvest?” Canis questioned, but there was no answer.

As the battle raged on, the first mental channel finally opened. Harvest blocked Canis’s path, absorbing the full impact of the Photon Cannon with his body. A strange groan escaped as his whole form shuddered under the shockwaves.

Thinking the surface wouldn’t be enough, Harvest expanded his body wide and swallowed the Photon Cannon whole. His body trembled, and his previously thin waist inflated like a balloon. The absorption powers of his form kicked in, digesting the photons, and slowly, his body returned to its normal shape.

“Agh!” Canis bent over in shock. He had no idea that Harvest could absorb the Photon Cannon—it was only possible because of his mental powers. But borrowing power without permission was against the rules of their master-servant contract.
