Chapter 101: Art Of Battle (2/2)

The fifteen Alters landed in a wide periht and shark variant, joining in with the black knights to block out any fishe wheel of bone also aided this effort, loosing loud rattling sounds as it sped around the battlefield, turning fishreen flames

"Behold this perfor to Minuteman He pointed his red saber to the shark variant "Your way of fighting is respectable in its oay, but all that s - there is hardly any art to it Hardly anything reseance

As a felloarrior, I shall teach you how beautiful battle can truly be-,"

The shark variant roared as it charged

"[Expose Veins]," said the red knight His eyes flashed red under his visor Right before the shark variant swiped his face off, the knight see behind a trail of afteriht perfor out cuts in the three nubs where Minute about these three slashes was different

They were executed faster and stronger than the knight's normal attacks, as if enhanced by soht's saber cut, a dark purple, violet shaped pattern blooth, though the red knight could not cut deeply into the shark variant's scales

"You can't cut the flesh like that, you'll need a stronger weapon Soh the scales Here, my shi+eld!" Minuteman pulled back his shi+eld ared his finger at Minuteht and enjoy the perforht stepped back and stood still, raising his blade up cautiously

The shark variant growled but did not take ht could not darew ever hty swipe of its claws

"Parry-," The red knight angled his saber so that its flat acted like a shi+eld The shark variant's strike skidded down the length of the saber, angled perfectly to diffuse as much force as possible

Minuteman knew heroes that used swords, and even if he himself did not know ht was an expert

"And [Riposte: Returning Step]" The red knight used the force of the shark variant's blow to spin around rapidly and then unleashed a swift horizontal slash across the shark variant's neck, where the armor had been cracked from Minuteman's blows

The shark variant stepped back before it placed both hands around its neck A glint of red light flashed around where it had been slashed before the slash spontaneously appeared on its neck, carving through its scales and into its flesh

Profuse amounts of blood poured out from its exposed throat

The shark variant collapsed to a knee

"With brutish foes like this that rely ly htly strength against theht and he turned around disan Minute the muscles around its exposed throat to flex and clench the deadly wound shut But where the slash wound shut, violet floral patterns grew instead

"And now, the finale" The red knight bowed deeply with an ar one last swipe surprise swipe froht snapped his fingers with a e]"

With that, the shark variant seized up, stiffening in its movements like a statue before it could unleash another attack The flower patterns around its wounds shone brightly before detonating

The flesh rippled and exploded as blood poured out of the horrible wounds like water draining from a popped water balloon

As soon as the blood exploded out, it crystallized, entrapping the shark variant's half destroyed corpse in a casing of its own hardened life essence… The blood shone with a faint violet hue, glily beautiful incandescence
