Chapter 252 - The White Lightning Flash (1/2)

John's eyes widened as his blood slowly dripped down from his forehead, he couldn't believe that he was out sped, even with the help of his sacred treasure.

”You're-”

Before John could finish, the young man swung something which appeared to be a sword, straight towards John's head.

It was coated in a white lightning aura, preventing John from being able to tell the shape just by looking.

John tilted his head to the left with his 'Lightning Flash' and 'modero' still active, and yet, the young man's rapier still ended up grazing him.

Blood slowly dripped from the side of John's cheek as he stepped back to gain some distance, but in that instant, the young man also pressed forward, sending consecutive thrusts straight at John.

Head, arms, legs, the strikes were all accurately aiming at a part of John's body forcing him on to the defensive. John moved avoiding the strikes by rotating and tilting his body while trying to find a way to get into the counter stance, but the young man just wasn't letting him.

Cuts began forming around John's body as the two moved around through the trees and as each second passed, John could feel himself getting more and more annoyed.

As John took another one of his steps back, he hit one of the tree roots which laid on the ground, causing him to lose balance and slowly rotate backwards with his head heading straight to the ground due to the momentum.

John's patience had just about reached it's limit as the world around him slowly rotated. The young man, didn't waste the opportunity and sent a thrust heading straight towards John's neck.

Seeing this, John quickly raised his hand at the same time as the thrust was about to pierce him, when all of the sudden.

*Clang!*

The weapon was hit by a force which deflected it, causing it to bounce back. The young man taken by surprise, ended up losing balance as he came into contact with the invisible force but in that instant, a Pure white lightning bolt passed from the tip of the rapier straight towards John.

John's eyes widened as the Lightning bolt quickly made it's way towards him, the distance was too short, John tried to avoid the it, but it was too fast, so fast that John could barely even see it.

*TZZT!*

The instant the white lightning bolt came into contact with John, his body quickly began to tremble as it took in the shock.

”AAAHH!!”

John had never experienced such pure burning pain before, it was so bad that if he had relaxed his body for just a single second, he would've been knocked out.

The young boy watched as John took the strike and slowly fell over to the ground on his front. Now that John was stunned, the young man sent another thrust straight at John's head.

As the thrust was about to pierce John's head, the young man's eyes widened before he jumped away as fast as he could.

Not even a second after, Ice spikes rose from the ground in front of John, where the young man had been standing.

As the young man saw this, he took a few steps back and stopped his charge.

”Tsk... Can't I get a damn break around here?” John asked as he let out a sigh before getting up.

The young man was out of words, John got up padding his pants and shirt with his hands before wiping away the blood on his face, without a single burn or wound on his face.

He had struck John by lightning and formed a cut his cheek and yet John appeared unaffected.

There was no way someone could take lightning head-on without being paralysed for a few seconds, so how?

”I recall sparring you, how stupid... This is your last chance to turn back.” John said clearly towards the man.

John's breath was visible in the air along with the noticeable change in the temperature. The ground and trees around them slowly began to freeze, causing John's nose to slightly redden.

John got a good look at the young man in front of him, Long white hair with the same smile on his face from last time. He knew this man would cause trouble; he just didn't think it'd be this soon.
