Chapter 230: Fight Against Manuel (1/2)

BOOM!

Gravis used his full acceleration with his lightning and body to quickly reach the elder again. Even though the elder was prepared, he was still taken by surprise by Gravis' ridiculous acceleration. He hadn't used that in this fight before, making it impossible for the elder to react appropriately.

BANG!

Manuel had appeared before Gravis, having summoned a humongous shield before him. Gravis' kick exploded on the shield, blowing it into fragments that shot towards Manuel, who stood right behind it.

Clank, clank, clank!

With impressive control over his weapon, Manuel blocked all the fragments with his sword. Meanwhile, the elder pointed his weapon over Manuel's shoulder, releasing a concentrated beam of sword force.

CLANK!

Gravis angled his saber over his still outstretched leg, making the beam deflect off of the surface of the angled saber. The direction of the beam changed, and it shot into the sky. If he had blocked it directly, Gravis would have been pushed back, but with this maneuver, he wouldn't have to retreat. The beam's force pushed Gravis towards the ground, which immediately exploded with lightning as Gravis shot forward again.

WOOSH!

Manuel sidestepped the second kick as if he had seen it coming. Apparently, he was also proficient in pre-dodging, just like Gravis. Manuel immediately started slashing towards Gravis' outstretched leg, intending to cut it off.

SHING! BOOM!

Gravis' right leg was cut off at the knee, but a concentrated lightning spear came out of the leg's stump, hitting Manuel right in the chest. The flesh on Manuel's chest exploded off, and he got shot away. Gravis had traded his leg for a severe injury.

SHING!

The elder released an attack as Manuel shot away, and it shot towards Gravis. Gravis quickly kicked his severed leg with his stump, making it hit the crescent of sword force. His body was powerful, and such a hastily released attack didn't have the full power of the elder. As his severed leg hit the sword crescent, both of them exploded into a wave of destruction and blood.

SHING!

Gravis quickly used his saber and cut off a diagonal chunk of the stump that was his right leg and then shot forward at the elder again. Gravis slashed with his saber, and the elder blocked it with his sword.

Clank! SHING!

While the sword blocked Gravis' saber, Gravis' leg nearly cut off one of the elder's arms. How was this possible? Gravis had cut off a diagonal chunk of his leg to sharpen his own bone into a sharp pike. The protruding bone had part of it cut off, which made it pointy. It was painful, but winning was more important! The shorter range of his leg also helped him pull this stunt off since it was easier to hit something closer to him.

The elder's left hand only hung from a thin strand of muscle and skin. Apparently, his body hadn't been as tempered as Gravis'. If it had been, Gravis' wouldn't have been able to sever the bone of the hand. The elder was shocked dumb by this development, and he couldn't react to Gravis' next attack, which was a loaded fist hitting the flat side of the blocking sword.

BANG!

The sword stayed in one piece, but with the elder shocked and only having one hand to block the attack, the sword shot backward and pierced the elder's torso. It stabbed into the middle of his torso, with only the hilt remaining visible. The eyes of the elder widened as Gravis punched straight at him.

BANG!

Another huge shield appeared before the elder as Manuel had returned. Manuel had retrieved the shield from his Spirit Space and placed it right before the elder to block the attack. The shield exploded again, and its fragments shot backward again. But this time, there was no Manuel to stop the fragments since he was still in the process of running back. Thus, the fragments all buried themselves in the elder's body. The elder was also shot back due to the force.

Gravis gritted his teeth in frustration. He had been so close to killing one of them! This was the third time that Manuel had saved the life of the elder. At least the elder was severely injured now. Meanwhile, Manuel was very close to Gravis again and readied himself for an overhead slash. Gravis used his sharp stump to kick towards Manuel's hands, but his leg was too short.

BZZZZ! BANG!

Gravis used 50% of the inherent Energy of his body to make his leg instantly regenerate. Manuel's eyes widened, and the kick hit Manuel's hands. Sadly, Gravis hadn't had time to load his kick with lightning. Yet, some of Manuel's fingers still broke due to the kick.

BOOM!

Gravis' other leg exploded with lightning, shooting him forward while his right leg was still outstretched. Manuel had lost his balance due to the kick, and he managed to barely hold his saber above his head. Yet, the kick would arrive before he could regain control over his saber.

BOOM!
