BANG!

A bullet of white flame shot out of Helial's hand in a split second.

Pseudonym did not seem bothered by the speed of the enemy attack. Throwing one of the two swords into the air behind him, he shot a black bullet with his left hand.

Skill Activated:

Phoenix Gun

BOOM!

The two bullets collided and, to Helial's terror, Phoenix Gun dissolved Death Flame Pistol without difficulty, reaching his chest.

The boy spat out a mouthful of blood, without holding back, ready for another attack.

But, before he could realize what was happening, Pseudonym kicked him in the chest, completing a backward somersault and picking up the sword thrown into the air a second earlier.

The metallic taste of blood, mixed with humiliation, filled Helial's mouth.

Placing two fingers on his chest, the boy realized that Phoenix Gun had left a two centimetres wound, exposing the bones of his chest, with part of the sternum clearly visible.

As the meat vibrated and closed again visibly, Helial felt a shiver of excitement run down his back.

His eyes became bloodshot.

Pseudonym's attack had mirrored his own. Not only had that cursed lowered his Phase to equate it with his own, but he had also used an identical Skill.

And, judging by the effect, it was also much stronger than Death Flame Pistol!

He must have reached at least the Master rank and gone up 6 or 7 levels ... The fame of Pseudonym is certainly deserved. That's what Circe meant. Phoenix Gun has the same principle as Death Flame Pistol, and its energy is even less pure and destructive, yet his knowledge of Skills and Mana have allowed him to suppress my attack as if it were nothing, thought Helial, more and more enthusiastic.

In fact, Death Flame Pistol had very stringent requirements. It was a skill that Helial had created based on Mana of Life and Destruction. By fusing the principles of Life and Destruction, the power of that Ability was not measurable with common sense.

Helial remembered Iblis' words during the clash between Pseudonym and Xen. Pseudonym was so strong because he had a goal for which he would sacrifice his whole life.

Pseudonym looked impassively at his opponent. If Helial could have seen inside the armour, he would have seen a smile appear on the Champion's lips; and, if he could have read his mind, he would have heard words that would have healed the wound in his pride that Pseudonym had opened just before: No mercy!

Skill Activated:

Phoenix Gun

”Do you think it's so easy to make fun of me?” laughed Helial, making Curse of the Demon disappear and creating countless seals with his hands.

Skill Activated:

Runic framework

Warning: Effects are forced, cost increased by 500%.

Three Runic Frameworks appeared in front of Helial.

”Do you want to flee?” laughed Pseudonym, seeing the Runic Frameworks form before his eyes.

Without answering, Helial pointed his hand at the three Runic Frameworks in series.

Skill Activated:

Death Flame Pistol

Warning: 500% cost increase, critical Mana thickening.

As Mana for the Skill began to flow through his arm's Meridians, Helial exasperated the effects of Runic Control to further compress the terrifying power of that attack.

This time, Pseudonym would not be able to fight back, he was sure of it.
