Chapter 236 - Johns Mercy (1/2)

John decided to leave the girl for last, dealing with the others was the best option for now. But he still had to scare her or neutralise her in a way.

Because of this, he stretched out his arm to grab her and, in that instant, he quickly pulled his body back, avoiding the slash which was sent at him by a hair strand.

As he avoided it, wind pressure came out from the other end of the blade, slashing at his arm.

*Slash*

John's right arm was cleanly cut off, falling to the ground with his right dagger still in it's grip.

Without giving John a second to rest, the man quickly turned the direction of the blade, before heading straight towards John's head

As the blade got closer and closer, John could see wind forming in front of it.

And right as it was about to hit him, he shadow stepped away.

*Voom*

Sharp wind cleanly cut through the area where he had stood, as it formed a giant sphere of rampaging wind.

The man responsible for this, was the same purple haired man that John had lost sight of in the beginning of the battle. He carried a strange green and black sword which resembled a katana.

John reappeared, behind the man's head, with blood pouring out of the half of the right arm which had been cleanly cut off.

The man quickly turned back and right as he swung his sword at John, John swung his arm which was missing the other half at the man's face, making some of the blood enter his eyes.

But before it could hit him. John shadow stepped to the man's side, before swinging his left arm which held on tightly to the dagger straight at the man's head.

Right as it reached the man's neck, John felt a strange thud before his dagger and left hand were pushed back.

Following that, slashes of wind were sent all around the man, and John who was within the range was about to take all of them head-on.

But once again, John shadow stepped away before it could hit him.

The man slowly pulled back his sword before wiping his eyes and turning to John who stood a few feet away from the two.

He watched as steam was let out of John's cut off arm while blood dripped out of it. Yet despite all of that, John didn't let out a single sound.

”Did you get it?” The man asked

The girl who was next to him, bent down to the ground before grabbing on to John's cut off arm and saying

”Yeah, fighting is bad but I'll allow it this time.”

The moment she grabbed on to John's hand hand, she ripped off her dolls hand, before it slowly got bigger.

Once it was big enough to fit in John's hand in the ripped off sleeve, She placed John's hand in it before chanting a few words.

As she did so, The purple haired man looked over at John who wasn't making any moves, he just stood there, quietly with his head hung.

”Done.” Said the girl

Seeing this, the man charged straight at John.

John who saw this, raised his head and was about to move his body to dodge, when all of the sudden.

He realised that his body was paralysed. He couldn't control it.

As the man swung his katana straight at the immobile John, for a moment, just a single moment, John's eyes glowed a bright yellow colour

And in that instant, he muttered

”Cancel.”

John tilted his body to the side, before electricity began to flow once more through it. The emotionless gaze remained on his face as he muttered the words.

[Gravitas x 50, Modero]

The purple haired man's eyes widened, as he lost sight of John's movement. His body grew heavier and heavier as he tried to move away

*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*

When he came to it, He had received slashes all over his body, causing him to fall to his knees.

John was surprised, The man's body was being protected by a strange wind armour, making all of John's strikes shallow, but despite that, he was still able to hit him in the vital points.

Seeing as how he stood no chance; the man formed a smile on his face before saying.

”H-How did you... Hmph... It's your win. Kill me.”

His voice sounded rather calm for someone who was asking to be killed, he seemed satisfied with the result of the fight.
