"Are you certain your brother's inside?"Tyson and Benny were currently scouting an abandoned mansion in a dark forest not far from Lily Town.Benny had been unconscious for an entire day. After he regained consciousness, Tyson recounted his battle with Gantala and how a mysterious figure with a scythe had intervened and taken him away."If they're wielding a scythe, it must be that witch," Benny remarked, clenching his fists and slamming them on the desk."Fortunately, their hideout isn't far from here, and I know its location.""Great, I'll assist you in finding your brother, and afterward, you'll join my guild," Tyson said cheerfully, eyes sparkling.He desired Benny to join Nightshade due to his impressive swordsmanship displayed earlier.'Had I not drawn power from The Etherian, I would've been defeated.'That was the reality. Similar to when he sacrificed a year of his life to defeat Gantala by depleting his powers, Tyson had struck another deal, this time wagering for three mon
"Kill switch!"The familiar attack created a huge explosion that crumbled a section of the walls of the room they were in.As the dust settled, the battered red-haired man was shown getting back up panting heavily."Huff. Huff. H-how could you hit me?"He was surprised over the fact that Tyson had managed to trap him even though he was moving a couple of times faster than the speed of light."I wasn't just using my relics' power, I combined it with doping, but you still managed to strike me."Doping is one of the three basic techniques for using Anima.As the name suggests, the user channels their Anima and has it passing through their veins, resulting in massive boosts in physical abilities.It's the opposite of the aura, which has the user exerting their Anima outwards.He was using doping together with his boots of Hermes Magic Item to maximize the speed, so he could reach far, thus, no one could keep up with his speed.His eyes lit up as he disappeared again.Back in the security
Clank!Sparks flew as the metallic boots clashed against the sword forged from an unbreakable substance.Lex was breathing heavily as he observed his opponent, who was also struggling to catch his breath.For the past ten minutes, they had been exchanging attacks, with neither side landing a hit.Both remained unscathed but were thoroughly exhausted.Neither could utilize aura techniques, which required massive reserves of Anima. Instead, they rely on doping to enhance their physical abilities beyond human limits, putting significant strain on their bodies.Additionally, they both overlapped their doping with the powers of their relics. Lex marveled at the effect of combining two speed buffs, deepening his respect for his captain.Though Lex managed to hold his own, there was a limit to his ability to wield someone else's Magic Item effectively. This limitation became evident when he attempted to use Kill-switch, only for it to be easily countered by his opponent, Gantala.While Lex
The crackling of electricity filled the room containing a large man wielding a hammer and a thin man holding an oddly shaped mace. The two objects were channeling electricity as the two fighters charged at one another. Clank! Thud! Clank! The two massive weapons collide, sending sparks all over the room. These two have been fighting for nearly forty minutes now without rest. "Former district commander Vladimir, your talents precede you." The thin-looking man commended his opponent. This man was Quest, wielder of the Vajra Magic Item. In Hindu mythology, Vajra is the weapon of Indra, the god of thunder and king of the devas. The vajra is a powerful weapon having the combined features of sword, mace, and spear. It was created out of the hard thigh-bones of sage Dadhichi who gave up his life willingly for a noble cause so that his spine could be used to build the weapon.Truth to the legends, the vajra now was in the form of a mace and was trading blows with the mighty weapon o
Clank!Swoosh!Having completely shattered all the furniture and items in the room they were in, Lex and Asphalt both stopped in their tracks and faced each other.The two were both battered and tired as they were breathing heavily too. "Huff. Huff. Had enough?" Reginal said with a corky attitude."Hahahaha. I am just getting started." Asphalt disappears as he finished and starts blitzing around the room at light speed. 'Tsk, I have less than five minutes to end this or my snatch steal's duration will end.'His opponent had a similar thought as he had also burned a lot of stamina and was planning on ending the fight as well. Lex sounded confident earlier, whereas in reality, he was worried that soon enough his Magic Item's ability would end and enter a cool down period, thus he wouldn't be able to keep up. 'Here I come.'He holds his sword with both hands and takes a stance as he closes his eyes.After duking it out for so long against the speedster, Lex had finally figured out a
Lex and Farrow had finally bested their opponents and were now standing across their unconscious teammate and his opponent."Get off him, now!"Lex draws out his sword as Farrow takes aim, ready to fire."My my, there's no need to be so angsty."The man got up and began to approach the duo, leaving the flattened Vladimir behind. "I take it you two have beaten Asphalt and Kyla? Sisi won't be happy about that." 'Tsk, I still need about ten minutes before I can use snatch steal again.' Lex grits his teeth while Farrow is sweating bullets as they both watch Quest as he approaches them slowly. "Why don't you both surrender? You might have beaten those two, but even I can't possibly come out of that fight unscathed." The real reason Lex and Farrow were sweating nervously right now was due to the fact that they were both exhausted and way past their limits. They have suffered a lot of injuries and taken a considerable amount of damage from their respective opponents. Farrow barely gat
The blackness was perfect—a sort of visual silence that could send chills through anyone's spine.The two captains were squaring off in the dark room of the void.Tyson, being able to use seismic senses, was freely maneuvering through the darkened room.Yuni, on the other hand, was barely able to block some of Tyson's attacks.It was truly a one-sided battle.The room was completely pitch black, and she was being forced to heighten all of her other senses in order to keep up with Tyson.The black zone was one of the techniques that Tyson used proficiently as an assassin.The fact that he was using a technique that he swore never to use again shows just how formidable Yuni was.At the start of their confrontation, Tyson had taken considerable damage from Yuni's scythe, which drains power from the victim's soul directly.It was a completely agonizing experience for Tyson, who was used to all sorts of pain.He experienced the same type of pain that he usually feels whenever he trades his
"Huff. Huff. Huff. I finally made it."Lex was carrying an unconscious Farrow as he arrived at the Mini Cruiser.He lumps the archer on the bed and takes a moment to catch his breath."Now for the big palooza."Vlaimir was nowhere to be seen, as Lex only arrived with Farrow. Where could he possibly be?"Undo the shadow realm prison!"The shadow lurking around Lex swells as the large warrior appears out of it.Lex had used snatch steal once again and copied Tyson's magical item. He then activated the shadow technique that Tyson used to send Lex to the shadow realm when he was in a critical condition.It was all so that he could carry the both of them to safety while Tyson wrapped up the battle."Now where did we stash old man Shambala's medicine?"Benny was kneeling with his arms spread apart as he awaited his faith.Jake clenched the handle of his sword hard as he charged at the other swordsman.Benny closed his eyes, and a great silence enveloped the room. He opened his eyes to see t
