Chapter 47: Breaking the Limits
The enforcer's growl deepened, his aura swelling as his transformation pushed further. His muscles rippled with enhanced strength, his skin darkening to a deep obsidian hue. His golden eyes burned with fury, locked onto Raizen with an intensity that spoke of more than just a mission—this was primal combat.
Raizen felt his own instincts sharpening in response. His blood boiled, the Draconic force within him awakening further. His breathing slowed, each movement deliberate, every muscle coiled like a spring.
The enforcer moved first. Faster. Stronger. He lunged forward, the air around him distorting from the sheer force of his speed. His claws slashed through the space where Raizen had been a fraction of a second earlier.
Raizen had already pivoted, sidestepping the strike before countering with a precise palm strike to the enforcer's ribs, sending shockwaves rippling outward. But this time, his opponent barely flinched.
Liana repositioned, firing off a concentrated energy burst aimed at the enforcer's exposed back. The shot hit, causing a ripple of energy across his scales, but instead of taking damage, he twisted toward her, snarling.
Raizen seized the moment. He surged forward, driving a devastating knee into the enforcer's stomach.
The enforcer gasped, his frame bending slightly from the impact. But rather than staggering, he grabbed Raizen's shoulders, using the momentum to launch him through the air.
Raizen crashed into the far wall, the metal denting from the impact. He exhaled sharply, feeling a sharp pain in his ribs, but his adrenaline burned away the sensation.
The system pulsed.

Raizen wiped a thin trail of blood from his lip, smirking. He was adapting.
The enforcer cracked his neck. "Impressive," he admitted, his voice distorted by his transformation. "But it won't be enough."
Raizen flexed his fingers, feeling the power flowing through him. "I was about to say the same thing."
This time, Raizen attacked first.
He blurred forward, moving faster than before, his body lighter, sharper. The enforcer reacted, claws slashing upward, but Raizen ducked under the attack, twisting his body mid-air before driving his heel down into the enforcer's skull.
The impact sent the enforcer crashing through the floor, the reinforced metal shattering beneath him. Liana wasted no time, firing another blast downward, ensuring he stayed down.
The dust settled.
Raizen exhaled, his stance still strong. The fight wasn't over, but the battle had turned.
The system pulsed again.
[Draconic Combat Synchronization: 92%]
Raizen grinned, rolling his shoulders. It was time to end this.
