Chapter 86: Found You (1/2)
Kazko's expression changed the moment Rekaz body hit the ground. He may have had more self-control but even he was on the verge of charging at this young man and would've ended up falling for whatever trick this man had used. Thinking this man was the weakest amongst the three had also been a mistake.
Although he had only felt it for a second, the moment his eyes had changed color, pressure the like of which even lord Zerahut would only dream of, had dominated this plains.
He was unsure of what had happened, but it was clear that this man was at least as strong as the blue-haired magic user and if they were to face all three at once, they would find it difficult to escape with their lives.
Looking at the three already close to him, he knew instinctively that escape was no longer an option. His brows narrowed and a thrill of cold ran from the bottoms of his feet to the top of his head.
There had only been a few times he had felt this but Kazko was sure of it, it had only happened in his struggles along the edge of life and death. It was a sign of impending doom.
Kazko quickly rejected that idea, even if the odds were against them, there was no way he would lose here. The young man was still underestimating them due to the level of strength they had shown so far but that would be his greatest mistake.
They had only just evolved and hadn't fully comprehended the expanse of their strength. The more they fought the more they would adapt to their new bodies and be able to fully utilize their power and find the best ways to use their new skills.
Still, the numbers disadvantage was a problem, 'Numbers?.' Kazko sneered as the arrogant words of this young demon registered in his mind.
He tightens the grip on his blade once more, his fingers digging into the flesh of his palm. ”So... You want to fight us alone huh, we'll oblige... Of course, once we win, that weapon is ours.”
Tyler turned his gaze back to the light grey troll and with a slight smile, he nodded. ”Naturally, and like I said, as long as you leave a single scratch on me, you win. And if I win, you'll both become my pet...Mmm, maybe pet is a little demeaning for warriors like yourselves so let's just say you'll both submit to me.”
”Submit huh... Kukuku... Do you think you have the power to make a Battle and a Berserker Troll submit to you?”
”Huh, That's a good question, I guess we'll find out.”
”Very well, the trolls behind me will just get in the way so don't fret, they'll only be watching this fight.”
”Mmm, how noble, although this feels kinda familiar, hope you fare better than the last one.”
”You insolent...” Rekaz said as he finally stood up in a frenzy, ”What did you do to me?”
”I have no idea.”
”YOU BASTAR!—”
”REKAZ!” Kazko quickly cut him off as he signaled for the Gray trolls behind him to step back. ”Calm down, you'll get your chance, first we retrieve the weapon.”
Rekaz stopped hesitantly, his teeth were grinding audibly as his eyes got redder and redder. He raised his shield and took a wild fighting stance.
Kazko walked behind him and held his bone sword with both hands as they both reactivated their berserk skills that had been deactivated when these three had suddenly appeared.
Tyler saw the trolls accept his challenge and gently nodded. He held no weapons but still chose to step forward, opting to start at a closer range than any magic caster would. After coming to a halt at around the 10-meter mark.
”You may begin.”
As the last words left his mouth, Rekaz body had already kicked off the ground and charged at him with a crimson aura. Kazko trailed only slightly behind and was able to match Rekaz movements perfectly.
Tyler had his arms in his pocket and even as the raging Berserker Troll charged at him, he did nothing.
As Rekaz reached a sufficient distance for him to strike. He canceled his charge and his arms sprung back and immediately shot forth as he thrust his Spear at the young man only a few feet before him.
°Destructive Strike°
The spear was engulfed in his crimson aura as it tore through the air creating several similar attacks on its way. The intense attack would normally be impossible to dodge from that distance but the young man just took a step to the side and avoided them.
As Tyler tilted his body to the right to avoid the attack, he saw the Battle troll already in front of him having somehow predicted how he would move. If this was a normal fight between equals then he would've been in trouble, however, the trolls were still too slow and he just took a step back and avoided the troll's, Lacerating Slash.
The red troll charged at him again with his shield held up and the moment he was within range, he swiped it with immerse force and although Tyler thought about just blocking it, he quickly changed his mind and took several steps back. Yet again the Battle troll had somehow guessed his move and had already appeared before him even with the speed difference, it seems to be able to read the flow of the battle.
°Horizontal slash°
The Battle troll swung his sword horizontally and a streak of greyish red aura gusted out at Tyler giving him no space to dodge. Rekaz also ran forward in a bid to strike if the young man decides to block the attack. However, they both suddenly lost track of him.
Kazko's brows twitched as he immediately raised his perception and soon located the young man behind them. His left leg cracked the ground as his right swept around in a swift motion and with a swing of his arm, his bone sword lashed out like a whip.
°Whiplash.°
His bone sword was coated in a crimson aura and the strike split into six identical attacks that moved semi-randomly with an intense force.
However, Tyler saw through the effects of these whips quite easily. There was no need for him to restrict his speed in this fight and he could see the real attack coming at him rather slowly.
Tyler took a step forward as he avoided the real attack and the others just went right through him. Kazko frowned but Rekaz had already gotten back his bearing and activated a skill. °Endless Fury°, his aura intensified, and with the combined effects of his berserk skill and Furious Charge, his ability had broken past its limit.
