Chapter 114: Magic Potential (2/2)

Thinking about that for only a moment he ran out of time as he couldn't think that fast in only a second. 'Might as well just keep testing my limits.' Without using a spell he planted his feet firmly on the ground, sending strength to his legs as the ground cracked where he stood.

”BOOM

Faster than lightning and accompanied by the clap of a thunderous boom, he shot forward like a cannonball with his fist clenched and met the storm with the swing of his arm.

Number 99 continuously swung his weapon like a whip and the storm got more intense the faster he went. He only needed to do this for a few more seconds before his escape tool would activate and he would be able to leave this godforsaken place without any issues, however...

Just as he was about to swing his weapon once more, the storm before his eyes was completely blown away and a force the likes of which he had never felt before blew him away.

As a high-ranking member of the organization and someone with his connection and wealth. He was always equipped to the teeth with high-tiered equipment. Although the ones he wore now were not his best, they were still all high-tiered.

If one was to calculate the value of the items on his person right now, it would be more than what an average noble with a territory earns in a year.

The equipment he wore had several layers of defenses that protected him from both physical and magical attacks. However, he could see the force that had blown his storm away, shatter through all his defenses, and sent him flying.

The metal inlaid magic jacket he wore under his coat was completely shattered and even his coat was blown to pieces. His metallic mask that was made of Duranium was further cracked and the spell that hid his voice was canceled.

The force slammed into his body and for the first time in his life, he felt pain.

*Gasp!

As his body flew through the air his mind was about to go blank but he could still feel the counter of his escape ticking. If he was to fall unconscious even for a moment, the counter would stop and he would probably die here or worse, face the disgrace of being captured and tortured for information.

Gritting his teeth, he refuted that idea. ”Gale.” He quickly cast a spell that stopped his momentum midflight and placed him on the ground, however, that was a mistake as the man had already closed the distance and was about to throw another punch.

'Fortress.'

Number 99 quickly shouted in his mind as he hurriedly tried to defend himself with his arms and almost instantly, he felt a mountain smash into his arms as they instantly went numb. His feet left the ground once more and he was sure that if he hadn't used the fortress skill, he would've lost more than his arms.

Number 99 refused to give up as he twisted his body mid-air and threw a kick at the man that was still chasing after him even as his body was still flying from his punch.

Vortex Crash.

A spiraling wave accompanied his kick as it smashed into the man and made him stagger as he was able to kill the force around him and land on his feet. The escape tool was activated and green light slowly began to wrap around him as he could barely remain on his feet.

Tyler lost his momentum from that attack but that was all, he refocused his attention on the man called 99 and he saw something strange around him. Tyler had a bad feeling about that and knew he couldn't let whatever the masked man was doing be completed.

It was a bit risky but he would have to use the touch of despair spell one more time. As he came to his decision he shot out and closed the gap in an instant, extending his arm to make any form of contact with the masked man when he saw his figure slowly start to fade.

Tyler quickly hastened his steps and got closer, his arms only inches from the man's neck as he tried to defend himself but Tyler would not let him and immediately switch his target and lashed out at his chest.

With the spell active, his hand grabbed onto something unexpected. The first thing he felt was something hard under the torn jacket, followed by a soft, yielding sensation as his fingers sank in.

”Aweik!!! ”

A high pitch shriek that was a cross between pain and pleasure escaped the masked man's mouth and a fist that carried a strength he hadn't expected slammed into his face in panic as Tyler's body froze slightly and the masked man? vanished from his view.

”What... was that?”
