"Four steps forward, then a punching skill. Counter: replicate the punching skill, followed by a kick," Justin murmured to himself. Immediately, Felix, positioned directly in front of him, surged forward four steps and delivered a punch. FURIOUS PUNCH Justin, having foreseen this, stepped back and executed the same technique that countered Felix's assault, then delivered a kick to his groin. Felix managed to block it but was still propelled backward. "If he can anticipate my actions before I even make them, what happens if he loses that ability to see my movements?" Felix beamed as he ramped up his speed to 50%. He accelerated, yet it's still not his best; he's restraining himself. "I'll show him the consequences of underestimating me," Justin muttered to himself, lifting his sword in preparation for the strike. As Felix stood just a few feet away from Justin, he abruptly transformed into a shadow and vanished. "Hmm, where could he have gone?" Justin was taken aback; even h
"Hmm, three arrows to my right, two to my left," Felix murmured as he leaped into the air. He did so without hesitation. Five arrows whizzed by his former position and detonated, but by then, he had already evaded danger. Felix contemplated his next move, a conflicted expression on his face. 'I need to finish this battle quickly, but I don't want to cause her any harm,' he pondered. "Being disoriented in combat is a grave error," Felix heard a chilling voice declare as a slender, elongated blade descended towards him. "That was a narrow escape." Hold on, she can wield a sword as well. Felix thought to himself, "Now I understand why she is regarded as the most skilled weapons user among the elite," as he narrowly evaded the sword. "You are quick, but are you quick enough?" Mulan declared as she swiftly transitioned to her bow and released a flurry of arrows. 'I need to finish this quickly,' Felix declared as he veered to the right, charging towards her with all his might before unl
The emperor looked to see who had stabbed him and exclaimed, "You...why." Yes, it's me, and the reason is—well, that's obvious—I'm just doing this for my family. Alexander grinned and gave his explanation. "My father and grandfather encountered prejudice when they first arrived on this continent, but by their own efforts, they established a reputation that allowed us to stay informed about the continent's happenings. "So you've been a spy all along? Did you really believe we were easy targets? I knew we shouldn't have trusted him. Six against one is the situation. Shadow grinned and said. Alexander laughed and remarked, "Actually, it's 6 on 4" as he looked at two bright streaks of light that were getting closer to him. "Ah, sorry we're late; we encountered some problems on the way, but it's taken care of." Their appearance became apparent as the streaks of lights approached; three demons holding swords that were drenched with blood. Alexander smiled and replied, "Oh, actually, we
Did you really believe that you could enter the city and do anything you wanted? Demon, you are going to pay with your life for daring to enter my city." The man cracked his knuckles and said, "With a friend." "My target isn't you, old man; let me take that child and leave, and nobody gets hurt." The devil stated, glancing at Felix. "What expression would I have if I allowed a demon such as yourself to enter my city and abduct a child in that manner? I apologize, but I would have to turn down your offer since I've been itching for a fight with someone who is on the same level as me." The man shook his head in response, igniting his battle spirit. "Well as you wish, but don't expect me to go easy on you." The demon said while clenching his fists and holding two swords that had condensed from demon flames. "The same." The man smiled and drew back his own weapon, a halberd. Felix nodded and added, "Hmm, pure mana condensation—that's a sign of the B rank." It was wise of him to not un
"Nooooo!" Felix's scream pierced the air as he witnessed Goro's brutal act, snapping the man's neck with a chilling ease before discarding him like a ragdoll onto the cold, hard ground. "Huh, oops, it seems his neck wasn't as strong as he thought," Goro remarked with a smirk, watching Felix writhe in pain as he attempted to rise. “Where do you think you’re going, huh?” "Just sit back and enjoy the show," Goro declared, striding over to Felix and seizing his arms with a firm grip. With a sudden, sharp sound, the silence was shattered, echoing through the stillness like a warning bell. The atmosphere shifted, tension crackling in the air, as if something momentous was about to unfold. "Arrrg, my arms!" Felix's anguished cry pierced the air as he tumbled to the earth, his body wracked with pain. He lay there, suffering from severe internal injuries, his arms broken and twisted at unnatural angles. "Better. Now, where were we?" Goro approached another person, a smile lighting up his f
“What are your secrets?” The demon, marked by a crescent, smirked as he intensified the pressure on Felix, leaving him gasping for breath. 'System, how many more times can I wield the light hand?' Felix inquired with great effort, a sense of impending doom weighing heavily upon him. Your mana wanes, leaving but one final opportunity; the fleeting surge of power is on the brink of fading away. "Just a moment, I need to voice this, but the pressure is overwhelming," Felix forced the words out, his teeth clenched tightly. "Alright, just promise me you won't do anything reckless." The demon's voice dripped with malice as he lifted his grip from Felix, who gasped for air, blood spilling from his lips in a gruesome display. "This is my secret," Felix declared, lifting his palm in a gesture of revelation. "I can't see anything," the demon remarked, a frown etched across its face. With a hushed breath, Felix exclaimed, "Boom," as a brilliant light erupted from his palm. "Arrrrrg!" The
Roarrr The newly transformed Alexander unleashed a furious roar, locking eyes with the demon, who met his gaze with a playful glint. In a breathtaking moment, Alexander surged forward, closing the distance to the demon in the blink of an eye, just as its razor-sharp fangs lunged toward him, aiming for his head. In a swift motion, the demon veered to the right, narrowly avoiding the impending strike. Yet, Alexander was far from finished; his tail transformed, spikes emerging as he swung it menacingly toward the demon. With a thunderous crash, the sound echoed through the air, signaling the start of something monumental. The demon lifted its hands in a desperate attempt to shield itself, yet the overwhelming force propelled it backwards, defying its efforts. He looked at Alexander in astonishment as the wounds closed up in an instant. "Your transformation grants you the power of a king, yet you remain too weak." Reveal everything you possess. Five moves. That’s all I offer you to lan
"Where do we venture next?" Mulan inquired as he assisted Damien in carrying Justin. "I don't..." As he spoke, an overwhelming force suddenly bore down upon them, forcing them to collapse to the ground, blood spilling from their mouths; this pressure eclipsed even that of the demon's might. "Must... kill..." The figure appeared consumed by an insatiable bloodlust, as unrestrained killing intent surged forth; the shadows within began to eclipse the light, threatening to dominate completely. "Guan Yu..." A faint voice emerged, prompting the figure to halt; the weight of the moment dissipated. With a feeble rise, Justin's eyes shimmered with an otherworldly purple light. An ancient voice resonated, soothing the figure as the shadows receded, returning to their former state. “Do you remember me?” Justin inquired, his smile strained and barely masking his true feelings. “A solitary figure emerged from the shadows, a one-eyed Sage, cloaked in mystery and wisdom.” Felix paused, his words
