Clank!Swoosh!Rhea was struggling to match up to Kira's strength and speed.It was one thing that she was being pushed around, Kira kept getting stronger and faster the more blood she draws from her. Rhea was sweating nervously. "Pant pant." She was also starting to suffer from the relentless offense that Kira was showcasing.She attacks, draw blood and, gets stronger."Hihihi. You've lasted longer than my previous opponents." "Tck." "Don't squeeze your face like that." Kira pouted her cheeks. "That's a good thing.""You're so annoying!" Rhea snapped."Aww, thank you." Kira smiled. Zod was seated beside the Aegis clan spectating the fight."Your Kira sure is unique." Ernie comments."Thanks haha, she believes in living wildly...""That's alright bro," Ernie wraps his hand around Zod's neck. "The feisty-er they are, the hotter they get." He pokes Zod's cheeks.The captain of Kami didn't budge and only smiled. "I guess you're right. However, there's more to Kira than being a perfec
"There. We're all packed and ready to go." "You guys take care now." "We will, Sir Ace." "Take care of Bessie for me, Kaz."Bessie is Ernie's mini ark. They used it to get to the Western Continent in time. "What about the soldiers from Cronoa?" "They did their jobs in making sure nobody got hurt. They're already en route to the Capital." Kaz explains. "I'll be sure to call Rohan and thank him for his help.""Alright, Aegis!" Ace spreads his arms apart. "We all know what to do, we'll meet up in a few days and head to Lundar together. They all nodded with smiles on their faces. "Tck. Let's get it over with." Says Reginald. "Geez, how impatient can you get?" Kaz retorted."You want a face full of fist?" "That depends... You want an asshole full of feet?" The other's sweat dropped seeing the two argue. Ernie got in between them and slightly pushes them. "Easy there fellas." Ace laughs. "Well then, let's get to it." The three boarded the mini ark and flew off leaving the oth
"Of all the places you can choose to die, you chose the top of a wild beast?"Ace and Keith landed on top of the shadow dragon that was carrying Stark. "Who said anything about dying?" Keith retorted. "We're putting an end to this madness, you've gone too far father." "Father?" Stark scoffed. "Ungrateful fools like you have no right to call me father." The twins gritted their teeth. "Ready?" Ace asked not taking his eyes off theur father. "No," Keith replied calmy. "But then again who can actually get ready to take on the world's greatest assasin on the top of a dragon?" "Hehe, you're right I guess." The two smiled. Ace having received a shadow thanks to Reginald, created a pair of shadow daggers. Keith followed suit making a pair with his miasma. "And now, for the extra touch." The ex-assasin smiled. He coated the shadow daggers with hus dark aura making them larger by a little. "Not fair..." Keith pouted making the ex-assasin to laugh sheepishly. Stark remained unfazed b
A stare down was going on between Rex and Tommaso. Neither of them took his eyes off the other. And if looks could kill, these two would be six feet under by now. "Balze On!""Come, Svalinn!""I know of your relic's annoying ability. And I also know how to go about it!" "Ohoo, is that so? Then please engage me!" Rex started off with a series of continuous punches with his flaming fists. Tommaso did nothing and just stood there. He was using his relic's ability that absorbs any physical blow he would have taken. " You might want to slow down a bit. At this rate, you'll deliver the hundredth blow before Gou could recite the alphabets." Gpu tilted his head. Rex smirked. "Good." He muttered much to Tommaso's surprise. "What are you gunning at?" "I told you, I know a way or two around that shield of yours. And one of those methods is to force you to awaken your relic."Tommaso widened his eyes in disbelief. "Let me get this straight, you want me to awaken my relic?" "Yup." Rex
"Relic Awakening!" Kira exclaims excitedly as she clashes with Rhea.Kira parried an attack and struck Rhea in the chin. She then grabs the stunned Rhea by the hand and slams her with an elbow.She takes advantage of the gained momentum and strikes her face with a hard right."Tck." Rhea spat blood. "Is that all?" Kira paused. "Something's off." She said softly. She looked at her knuckle, it was bleeding. "Is her body getting harder the more I hit her?""I'll tell you my relic's powers," Rhea spoke up to answer the question."The way your relic gives you a buff the more blood you draw, my relic gives me more power the more blood I lose. This is my blood rush!" Rhea explained. "I see..." Said Kira. "Hihihi." She snickered. "This means that we can keep on fighting!"Rhea gazes at Kira. At first, she had nothing but resentment toward her. But as their battle unveils steadily, she seems to have developed a form of respect for her opponent. The same goes for Kira as well."I'm having
"Reed..." Ace looked to his brother."Brother." Said Keith.Reed's gaze waa locked at Stark. He silently walked past them to stand face-to-face with the phantom lord. "You're back. Now, punish these traitors." He pointed at Ace and Keith. The two widened their eyes. "Reed! You don't have to listen to him." "Is this the path that you have chosen?"Reed turned to face his brothers. He darts them a look that could very much kill. "I've decided... I'm going to kill you!"Reed's dagger flashed. Clank! "What do you think you're doing, boy?" Stark blocked Reed's dagger with his fingers. Reed used his ability to turn himself invisible. He appeared a few moments later in front of his brothers."Reed...""Brother...""Seth, Keith. I've been a bad older brother haven't I?" "Fools." Stark snarled. "You dare go against your maker?"The trio readied their daggers. "Here," Keith hands Reed a miasma dagger and creates another one to replace it. They were now all holding 2 daggers each. Th
"Overclock X3!" Vorus released a tremendous power while facing Barbaros. He turned to Lela who had been spectating their fight. "Go help out the others. I'll be fine." She was reluctant to leave at first but saw the look of determination on his face. She silently nods her head and flies off to another section of the colloseum. The muscular Don grinned. "Where did you learn that technique boy?"Vorus summoned Mjolnir again. He had returned the relic when he began his fist fight with the Don. "I can't beat him without going all out." He had been fighting Barbaros on equal footing for a while now but hasn't made any progress or step closer to defeating him. The Nature's hunter hated to admit, but this man in front of him gave off a dominating pressure unlike any he had ever seen. "I asked you a question, boy." Barbaros folded his arms."And I am not entitled to give you an answer. I learned this technique from a benefactor." "I see..." Barbaros closes his eyes. Vorus noticed the
