Chapter 81: Bam!
Chapter 81: Bam!
"I'll settle myself with the teammates." Kaidos finally said; his hand twitched with the need to send his sword cutting forward, but he stayed his hand.
Arin turned and began to walk towards his teammates. "Sorry, but I can't let you do that. I'm their leader, and I'm responsible for them. Kill me too if you want them dead."
Kaidos's face darkened. "Get the fuck out of here. Your face disgusts me."
Arin crouched before his teammates and his eyes flashed. "Careful. I always remember faces."
'I should just kill the bastard,' Kaidos thought, but he shook his head. There is no need to bring unnecessary trouble to himself; his target was Jael, after all.
He turned towards them, thinking they might have run during his fight with the GUV but they still stayed in their shield, looking at the whole thing as if it was a form of entertainment. "Jael. Come out now and follow me quietly. You don't want your teammates dead do you?"
Jael looked at him dead in the eyes. "You've made a mistake, Kaidos; my teammates can take care of themselves. You should worry about your head instead."
He looked at Temur who nodded. "Litha, remove the shield. We will fight," he turned to Cele. "This is where our journey ends; go and claim the throne and place the mana regulator before the Walkers do."
Cele opened her mouth, then hesitated when she saw that the Walker team are already approaching the throne. "Very well. We, the Gold will finish our mission. Tim! Dile! To me!"
She turned and began to run towards the throne, shouting that no one should dare touch it. Tim paused and looked at Jael. "It'll be a shame if you die. So don't." He joined his team, getting his stones ready for action.
"Well then," Jael smiled. "Three to one. I don't like your odds, beastman."
"Maybe he has the upper hand," Litha spread her hands and began to gather mana in a ball. "He has a life force to fight with. That gives him an instant boost."
Kaidos chuckled. "You are right Lady! Each time I use a life force I get the power of an Iron rank added to my already Iron power. That's why I love to have a couple of life forces around me.
"But this zone has drained away my stockpile. I better get to work once I finish up with you guys." He smirked.
Temur closed his eyes. "He wants you, Jael. For whatever twisted reason," he opened it and it was blazing. "That's his first mistake. Make him regret it."
His artifact flowed and a sword appeared in his right hand, gleaming with red light. Both edges glowed bright red as he focused his aura on it. "No strategy, just go with the team flow!"
Litha kicked it off when she threw a bolt of hot mana at him. Kaidos laughed as he leaped backward, as the attack ate through stones.
But that was exactly what Jael had been waiting for, without moving from his place. He lifted his hand and converted Hermit to all strength, his right hand transformed into a tentacle punch and stretched.
He snapped it forward, and his hand cracked in the air like a whip; it blurred forward with terrifying speed, and Kaidos, still in mid-air, could do nothing but grind his teeth and raise his sword to take the hit.
The punch slammed into him and shattered the blood sword then hit him in the chest and sent him crashing back. "Ahg!!" He smashed into the ground and it cracked, then proceeded to shatter a pillar before he stopped.
"Hughh!" He groaned as he struggled to his feet; his helmet was crushed, and blood ran down his face as his hold on his blood technique trembled. 'To think they were able to cause so much damage with just one attack! Especially that Jael what did he do? I didn't see that coming and the strength behind that hit!'
"Where are you looking?"
Kaidos shivered as he heard the voice; panic roared in his head as he remembered that there was still one more member! He hurriedly dodged downwards in a roll. And that might just be the only thing that saved him.
There are numerous techniques, thousands, that swordsman uses, and each guards their jealousy. But some are common that all swordsmen are expected to know how to use.
One such is the simple slash but reinforced by the swordman's type of magic.
It was what Temur used but powered by his destructive aura, so when he slashed, hoping to cut off his head, but unfortunately, Kaidos dodged; what happened next was that the air pressure from that attack slammed into him and sent him shooting forward, scrapping his head on the hardened ground.
"Tch!" Temur's face twitched. "And I use a lot of aura in that single attack," His Codex mumbled in his head and he sighed. "I know, my slash is getting more refined but I'm using too much power. Got it!"
His Codex is like a ghost after all; it will even teach during a fight. Continue reading stories on m|v-l'-NovelBin.net
Kaidos heart was beating fast as he quickly constructed a shield of blood around himself. His head was throbbing hard, and one tip of his ears had been bruised terribly. He clenched his teeth. "What the...I almost died! Just one second later my head would have rolled!
"Who are they? Just the air pressure causes that much effect? And he's still in Iron rank. Talents like that must be cut short before it grows."
He touched his chest; he was sure his ribs were bruised from that attack from Jael earlier. "This is getting more troublesome by the second. I must...!!!"
"Bam!!"
His blood shield shuddered as something hit it. He couldn't see what was happening outside, but he could feel his shield, and something very hot just hit it and started it to melt. "That's it! I'm killing them!"
