Chapter 118- Kai Vs Mikayla (Part 2)

*TING*

The sound of the coin dropping to the ground reverberated throughout the whole room. Instantly, Kai and Mikayla dashed toward each other. The two didn't use Origin and yet their speed was simply monstrous. It far exceeded that of normal humans.

The distance between them was closed in a second and the two unsheathed their swords before they clashed violently. A huge blast of wind sent the whole dojo into a frenzy. The swords clung and fought as the two used their immense strength.

"Not bad, kid. You have the speed and the strength. But, do you have the technique?" Mikayla asked with a grin.

Then, Mikayla pulled the sword before he slashed at Kai again.

*CLING*

A series of stabs and slashes followed that as Mikayla went all out on the offense, trying to corner Kai. His technique was as perfect as one could get. The way he moved the sword was graceful and elegant as if he was dancing rather than fighting.

'Watching him fight is always amazing. He has the most beautiful sword art I have ever seen.' Kaya thought as she watched the fight from the side with a serious look on her face.

As grandiose and maybe even edgy as it might sound, Mikayla's nickname as the 'Sword God' was still deserved as no one can reach his level. He was born to be a swordsman and that's how he spent his life.

*CLING* *CLING*

The swords kept clashing, sending sparks left and right. The two men's speed kept on increasing slowly as they got further and further into the fight.

Kai was oddly on the defense the whole time as Mikayla rained down on him with attacks from all shapes and forms.

"Is this all you've got, boy? Did I overestimate your abilities with the sword?" Mikayla's grin was still wide even though he sounded disappointed. He had never fought someone for this long so his excitement was still at an all-time high.

"Come on! Show me what you've got! Show me what I've seen that day, ey!" The more he yelled, the more his attacks grew more aggressive and sharp.

"I know you've got it! That day, I saw it with my own two eyes. Agent 1, that bastard, you sliced his face in two. My eyes couldn't even follow what you did. I have never seen someone use a sword like that. So come on! Do it! I want to see it again!"

Kai was silent the whole time as he defended himself against all of Mikayla's attacks. In his mind, however, he was rather impressed by Mikayla's abilities. Although he did hear about his achievements and power, it was still a different experience to fight him head-to-head.

But, that's it… That's all he can say about Mikayla.

"Don't ask for what could kill you, Mr. Raullot. I have no reason to use my abilities against you." Kai said coldly as he jumped back while Mikayla dashed after him.

*CLING* *CLING* *CLING*

Their swords didn't pull away for a second before clashing violently again. Kai could feel Wretched Heart vibrating in his hand seemingly with excitement at the notion of fighting against a strong foe. He could feel its devilish aura seeping into his hand, trying to make him lose control. But, Kai didn't allow for that to happen. Not twice in such a short period of time.

Even he didn't know what could happen if this diabolical sword was let loose multiple times. He only ever let loose before once and that once… The devastating effects it had were something that Kai still remembers to that day.

That event was what shaped Kai's younger years and he hated every moment of it. However, he couldn't really get rid of Wretched Heart. He heard a quote once 'A swordsman doesn't choose their sword, their sword chooses them'. He simply couldn't find it in himself to throw this sword away as evil as it was. In one or another, Kai could see the reflection of himself on that very sword.

It was a monstrous sword even amongst Origin Artifacts. It was unique, above and beyond all weapons. Many considered it a piece of the devil and an abomination on earth just like how Kai was treated. Both of them shared that connection and Kai couldn't sever it.

Not to mention the fact a sword with the ability to cancel talents is already a scary idea as it is. He can't even imagine the huge trouble that could happen if this thing was to get into the wrong hands.

The fight continued with a series of rapid exchanges.

"Come on, kid! I can handle it! Don't let me get disappointed! I would rather die than not to see how far away I am from the top, ey?!" Mikayla urged him again.

"Old man, stop it! Don't provoke him!" Kaya's yell echoed in the room as she channeled her Origin, ready to stop this fight. The time left before the end was about 30 seconds.

"The top? You want to see the top?" Kai suddenly asked coldly.

"Yes! I want to know whether my life's worth of experience can really rival a once-in-a-lifetime talent!"

The moment Mikayla finished his words, Kai's whole demeanor changed, and that made the old man's grin freeze. His danger senses went off immediately. But, he didn't want to follow them. He wanted to see for himself what this boy had hidden within him.

At the same time, Kai put the sword down and jumped in the air, barely dodging one of Mikayla's slashes. Then, under Mikayla and Kaya's shocked eyes, he landed on the tip of the old man's sword. Ignoring the fact that he somehow made himself as light as a feather to land on the sword, his posture when he landed was perfect.

Then, before the old man could do anything, Kai jumped again. This time, his jump reached the ceiling. Twisting around, he touched the ceiling with his feet before he exercised strength on his thighs and pushed himself down.

Kai's strength, coupled with the gravity that was in his favor, his speed reached an astonishing level without using any Origin. His eyes turned cold as he took a deep breath.

"Atomic slash." He murmured.

"Hahaha! This is it, boy! This is what I'm looking for!" Mikayla beamed as he sheathed his sword before he closed his eyes.

"Lunarian sword style: first form: Breathless death."

Kaya, who noticed the sheer danger of what was about to happen, quickly channeled her mana as she summoned one of her creatures. A huge, dog-looking monster appeared out of nowhere before it dashed toward the heart of the fight.

But, by the time it reached them, Kai and Mikayla had already clashed.

*BOOOOOOOM*

The whole room seemingly shook violently as if it was hit by a giant earthquake. A wind blast almost sent Kaya flying was it not for the fact that her legs were extremely strong.

The ground beneath them cracked as a huge cloud of smoke covered the two men. A few seconds passed before the room calmed down again.

"Hah… Hah… What the fuck?" Kaya murmured as she squinted her eyes. Her eyes followed the cloud of smoke, peering through to see what happened and her eyes widened slightly.
