77 Overload (2/2)
Feiner wanted to end the fight in one moment to humiliate Zatiel, but when he saw how he stop his claw, he was furious and continue attacking with even more ferocity, not only using his hand but also his legs, displaying the fighting stile of werewolves.
Every attack that the werewolf was releasing had enough power to seriously injure an individual at Rank 1, his movements were erratic and incredibly fast, but somehow Zatiel always manages to block the claws or dodge them in the last moment.
With the exception of the Rank 3 Magus, everybody was focused in the fight, even the woman in the sky was looking attentive.
The Rank 1s at the ground were amazed by the ability of Zatiel to stopping the attacks of someone at Rank 2, but both Nimir and the woman in the sky know it was not so simple.
The power that Feiner was liberating was so much that every time Zatiel stop his attacks, even after using his swordsmanship to redirect most of the strength in them, he feels like he was crashing against a mountain damaging all the muscles and bones in his arms, and since his opponent agility what so superior, he could barely dodge twenty percent of the attacks, forcing him to be in absolute defensive mode.
If Feiner were to use a spell to enhance his power the fight would be finished immediately, but the old man knew that he will become a laughing stock if people find out he could not defeat someone at Rank 1 even after completing his transformation.
Eventually, after another dozen of attacks, the anger of the Werewolf reaches his limits as he opens his mouth.
”ROAR!”
A thunder-like wolf howl assaulted Zatiel consciousness making his vision blur, and although it lasted just a second it was enough for the werewolf to launch his attack.
”Fucking die!” Feiner claw filled with silver fire as he slashed.
Zatiel was able to put the sword in the last moment to shield him, blocking most of the attack, but still, the power was so much that he was sent flying and impacted in the ground creating a small crater.
When Sophia and Ezequiel saw this the fury in their hearts was immense and wanted nothing more than attack the Werewolf with everything they have, but remembering Zatiel word, they remained still but their fists were clenched so hard that blood was coming out form them.
”Hmph, you have to be stupid to go and challenge those above your rank”
”You are right, the only reason he lasted that long was that lord Feiner was taking it easy and not really attacking”
”Well, he deserves what he got, so weak yet trying to defend others”
”Look, even his companion do not dare to help him, how stupid”
The ones mocking Zatiel were some of the Rank 1 in the ground, and although they try to hide it, the envy was evident in their faces. The power that Zatiel demonstrated means that he is able to kill any of them, but since they thought he was finished, they took the chance and make fun of him.
The woman in the sky didn't say anything and just shake her head, as for Nimir, he looked at the place Zatiel crashed and seeing the damage it was provoked he seem satisfied.
The Rank 3 Magus finally open his eyes and although it seems like he was not paying attention, his consciousness has been active all the time, he was about to act when he saw in the direction where Zatiel crashed, how a golden glow was appearing.
Zatiel raised into the sky, a part of his robe was destroyed showing his upper body and the runes that cover most of it. His ribs were broken as was his right arm and there were cutting marks all over his body, but the golden flames were healing them and in his forehead, the Eye of Life and Creation appeared.
”Time for round two,” As soon he says those word, an immense ring of black flames appear on his back, before entering completely on his sword, and the skin of his body turn golden when he activated his True Name.
When Feiner saw those changes he was a little surprised, but after seeing it was only an increase in the vitality and endurance of the body, he calms down, and although the sword seems dangerous he was confident in his power.
”Hmph, the only thing you manage to achieve is to make your suffering last longer.”
But in the next moment, he saw how the runes on Zatiel activated creating dark paths among his golden body. Feiner was startled as he felt the power in Zatiel body increasing beyond the level a Rank 1 could achieve.
The woman, Nimir and even the Rank 3 Magus focus all their attention on Zatiel and their expression was of complete surprise.
”I will use you to test the power of my first runic set,” The runes in Zatiel body finally lit up completely, as he felt as an immense amount of vitality and energy was being drained, but the enhancement of power was even more monstrous.
”Overload!”
