Chapter 213 - 171.3 : Assault 3 (1/2)
Seeing this, Arthur unsheathed Makaze and prepared himself. The black katana vibrated intensely and black flames burned on its edges, there was even a deep cut engraved on the ground due to the intensity of the Sword Energy.
Arthur caressed the katana and forced it to calm down as this would attract the attention of the old man.
'Almost...'
The youth rushed at the old man again, this time with double the previous speed and more ferocity. He swept his halberd at the space around the old man, shaking the whole room and causing cracks to appear on the space protecting the Spatial Master.
Despite not succeeding in his attack, the youth didn't stop as he swung his halberd again with more force. A terrifying howl came out of the halberd as it smashed against the turbulent space, finally shattering it and sweeping at the old man, who took out a strange mirror and used it to resist the incoming attack.
When the halberd struck the mirror, the youth felt as if he hit something soft, half of the halberd disappeared into the mirror which shone with an unusual color. Not wanting to wait for it to finish its retaliation, the youth abandoned his weapon and stretched his rotten hand to meet the shining mirror.
As predicted, the mirror unleashed a bright light coupled with a crushing force that could even flatten Gods. Fortunately, the youth had stretched his hand and met this incredible force with his special hand, safely absorbing the power.
The rotten hand's ability is to absorb the attack and unleash them back but if the received attack is more powerful than the reserve the hand could store, then its ability would become useless. Luckily, the power of the attack unleashed by the mirror barely surpassed the hand's reserve, so the youth managed to absorb it despite being sent flying for twenty or so meters.
The old man saw haw his opponent was still not dead which startled him but he wasn't that anxious to finish the fight, he no longer cared about Kai Min's state either since it was too late to save him. The black beams were alarming which is why he didn't dare to remove him personally.
The red-haired youth pointed at Kai Min and grabbed the air, sucking the life force from the silent Kai Min. This quickly healed the slight injuries he received from the previous attack and boosted his condition a bit more.
”Aren't you one persistent brat!”
The red-haired youth stared back at the old man with a charming smile before he closed his eyes and said
”Hahaha, I shall consider that as a compliment. Now, prepare yourself!”
The red beams coming out from the ground reached the required intensity so the youth decided to stop holding back and finally go all out.
