Chapter 570 - Battle in Ryukalin Clan (2) (1/2)

After Patrick finished saying his words, he stomped on the ground and dashed straight towards Ayres, the bulky man. Seeing Patrick's movement, Ayres swiftly took out his sword and blocked the incoming spear. The metal clashed with one another, giving resounding sounds to the rest of them.

Yet, it was not finished.

Ayres pushed Patrick back using his sword, but Patrick had moved his spear in a circular movement before thrusting forward once again. He aimed for the heart of the man, yet Ayres blocked it.

His face green in anger at the obvious target Patrick showed to him. ”Don't you kidding me!”

Kicking the spear from below, he sprang forward. Spear user's weakness was always close distance, so he hoped to reach Patrick before he could recover from the attack.

Patrick knew Ayres' intention, but he sneered. He circled the spear from the front to the back. It's point was now pointing to his back, but Patrick paid no heed. Using his other hand, he pushed the blunt side of the spear forward towards Ayres, who has closed the distance between the two of them.

The spear reached straight towards the man's finger.

Ayres' sword halted on the air, his eyes were filled with disbelief. Did this man has just disarmed him?

Fingers were the most important and fragile part for sword, blade, and many kind of weapons. It was the part that they needed to protect the most because injuries in them would mean that they wouldn't be able to fight that well.

As they were locked in their place, Patrick raised his knee and kicked Ayres. At the same time, Ayres jumped to the back, avoiding the attack. His face turned solemn.

”It seems, you're not all brawl,” Ayres commented.

Patrick smirked. ”Who tell you that I only rely on my strength? They must be dreaming.”

Ayres's gaze narrowed. He knew that Patrick wouldn't be an easy opponent for him, so he had to prepare himself for the worst. Snorting, he readied his stance once again, this time he would not make the same mistake.

”Come here, you brat!”

Patrick's face darkened. ”You're the bratty one! I'm older than you!”

”Hah? With this skill, dream on!”

”You're the one who dreams!”

While the two of them were engaged in a fight with insults thrown all over, Kanae headed straight to Anna. Her movement was halted when Anna raised her hand and the gravity around her was multiplied over and over.

Kanae gripped her sword tighter as she focused on the woman before her. It was then she realized that she had seen this woman before.

'She's the woman who stays near Iris, right?'

As her new friend in the school, Alan, loved to talk about Iris so much, she had grown accustomed to the news around that woman. One of them was the fact that there was one woman who almost never stayed away from Iris's side, Anna.

Although Anna appeared to be a normal high school student, Kanae had sensed that there was something different with this girl. However, she never guessed that she held this much power.

”You won't be able to get close to me!” Anna yelled. She exerted more of her power to make gravity field around her. Those unfortunate people who stayed rather close also felt the ground pulled them harder. It was so hard for them to stay standing on the same spot.

Kanae's eyes narrowed. She also felt her body grew heavier and heavier, but it was not above her limit.

'I can't lose.'
