"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
"Aria!" Harold who had a pair of purple aura wings was first to ascend to the altar leaving Jacob and Vex dashing forward. They set their gazes towards the woman who betrayed them. "Harold..." Said Edrees. He was panting heavily and looked as if he could pass out at any moment. He has taken substantial damage from the Elder Saint. "That clown went ahead and lost..." Harold's aura combusted around him. "Don't overexert yourself, Harold. Just hand over Kisha and I'll be on my way. Nobody has to get hurt anymore." "Are you listening to yourself talk right now? You're telling me to abandon my ally?" Jacob and Vex arrived on the scene and stood beside the Dark and Sword Saints. Aria chuckles. Even though Edrees was covered in cuts and bruises, she was completely unscathed. That goes to show the difference in their strengths. "You four could barely breathe normal, especially you, Vex. You were ambushed earlier and still had to fight the Valhalla clan." In truth, they all had par
"Huff. Huff. Even with the second layer, he's too strong." Reginald gazes at the miasma-covered assassin. Keith was laughing maniacally as he shreds through all of the thief's clones. "Hah! To think I was worried about your relic, pathetic... I'll make your death painful in every way." He licks his lips and charges at the thief. "Tck. Arc!" Reginald swings his sword to the sides which the assassin passes through using his miasma body. Keith stood in front of Reginald with a malicious grin. "Haven't you tried that already? In this mode, I can phase through all of your attacks." "I've noticed something about that pesky miasma of yours." He tightened the grip of his blade that was swallowed by the miasma... "Pierce!" The streak of aura created a hole through the assassin's body. "Pff. Hahahaha, is that all?" Reginald smiled. "I knew it, just as I can't touch you while you're phasing, you can't touch me either." Keith's facial expression took a sharp 180. "Grr, so what if you
"So, Sal is with the Oracle Crew." Ryker, Jackal and Peck had returned to the Black Stallion to convey their findings to the others. "That's right, we're a step closer to finding him." Jackal states. "Something feels off here." Said Ming. Heads turned to her. "Sal's psychic powers allows him to feel our presence as long as we're in the samr galaxy, why hasn't he reached out to us." "Probably has something to do with the Oracle crew." The one who spoke was Kinkaid. "The Oracle crew were dubbed as the Five Vices. Five space pirate crew that rocketed to the top of the criminal empire in the span of 5 years." He smacked his lips. "I'd like to face them." "Five Vices?" Jackal, Ryker and Peck tilted their heads. "Never heard of them." They said in unison. "Peck I understand. Jackal too since we have been away, but how is it possible for a hunter to not know about the Five Vices?" Ming darts Ryker a disgusted look. He scratches his head laughing sheepishly. "I didn't pay attention d
Clank!Boom! Crackle! Mjolnir, the weapon of the Norse god of thunder. Thunderbolt, the weapon of the Greek god of thunder. These two weapons from different mythologies clashed. "Thunder Mash!" Whenever the two weapons collided, a powerful shockwave occurred. Yellow and blue sparks flew as they canceled each others attacks. Vorus swung his hammer forward. Zod swayed to the right and arched his thunderbolt to cut the broad chest of his opponent.Vorus held his chest as blood spurts out.He licks his blood and smiles. Zod sees this and takes a stance to prepare for the next clash."It's clear I need something more if I want to win." Said the nature's hunter.A powerful aura bursts around him momentarily. As the aura vanishes, his skin turned red. "Over clock X2." He declared. "Ouu." Zod exclaimed. "That's the power I've heard whispers about? It's an honor to go against such power."Zod had the seismic insight and could instantly grasp the power surging through his opponent. "
"Kill Switch!"Boom! "Unbelievable!" The announcer shouted. The crowd witnessed another one-sided battle featuring the ex-assassin. They cheered calling out his name and his clan's name. "Ace!" "Aegis!" "Ace!" "Aegis!" "And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the Aegis clan advanced to the quarter-finals alongside Kira and Zod!"Ace looked over at his flattened opponent. "Tck, I wanted to fight Tommaso this round... Well, let's see how he'll far." He pockets his hands and leaps through the sky before landing beside Vorus and taking a sit. "Haha. As expected of the captain. You crushed your opponent without holding back." "Thanks, Vo.""Without wasting any more time, let the next match of the day begin... It's,m Rhea vs Metal!" "Metal?" Rhea's opponent was a man donning the armor of a knight. He fought wielding a lance weapon.Rhea made quick work of the knight and easily secured the win."Rhea joins Ace, Kira, and Zod in the quarter-finals. We have 4 more batt
"You didn't have to go that far." Tommaso had returned to his room where he was met with the sight of Keith. "I thought you weren't coming till after your match?" "Don't change the subject!" Keith snapped at Tommaso. "Watch how you address me. I'm the captain here." "Pfft. Have you forgotten that I'm merely a part of your clan for conditional reasons? We're here to win the access codes." "Yeah yeah but that doesn't change the fact that I'm thr boss around here." Tommaso brushes off Keith's shoulder and made his way to the bed. He sat down and clutches his hands. His body was shaking excessively as he lowers his head. "That girl was stupid enough to awaken my taste for blood.""You almost killed her. As much as I love a good showing of brutality, that would have disqualified you." "You think your brother would just sit by and let me kill his clan mate? I thought you knew him better than that given that you two are twins." Keith clicked his tongue. "If I was you, I'd be worri
Vorus was panting heavily, darting a look at his opponent. The archer standing across him pulled the string of his bow and fired an arrow which splits into multiple arrows. "Yellow Rain!" He shouted. The former district commander grins as he swings his hammer in multiple directions deflecting all of the arrows that are aimed at him. "Amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, this match-up only keeps adding to the heat!" "It's amazing how Sir Vorus is able to move nimbly with that hammer of his," Conroy says to himself. He smirks as he points at the nature's hunter. "Arrow Port!" The several arrows that scattered on the floor of the arena disappeared. It didn't take long before they reappeared in a different spot... The body of the nature's hunter. Sticking out from his limbs were dozens of arrows that the archer conjured. Vorus winced in pain as he flexed his muscles causing the arrows to break apart. "Such power..." Conroy said in awe. Vorus bursts into laughter. "That ability of you
