But that wasn't what concerned Lightning Dragon. His concern was that the White Reaper on stage wasn't the one he had fought. 'His mana control, it's completely different from when we fought. In addition, he moves a lot more efficiently than in the past. Every one of his movements seems to be perfectly calculated, and...hm?' His thoughts paused for a second. Leaning his body closer, his eyes opened widely as he pressed his hand on the window to get a better look at the fight. 'Wait…' His eyes slowly started to enlarge. "That…" Opening and closing his mouth, his face paled as he came to a sudden realization. 'He's standing where he was at the beginning of the fight.' No, rather, he was only one step ahead of where he previously stood. This… Who in the world was this? Was he the White Reaper he had once fought? 'Impossible.' Lightning Dragon shook his head. The undeniable reality in front of him shook him to the core. It was at that moment. "Enough!" He was jolted out
His body twitched with annoyance as the white reaper felt his other's emotions run down his body. The Duke's resistance irritated him. "It's funny how you think you can do something to me now that we're both in the same ranks again. You couldn't do anything when we were of the same rank before, yet you think a small power-up would make a difference?" his fingers pressed against Duke Azenoch's arm as he squeezed his hand. The Duke's face changed, but his hand continued to squeeze before it compressed it completely and he was able to close his hand into a fist. White reaper could feel the bones of the demons crush inside the palm of his hands. "Don't annoy me any further." Pulling his hand back, the hand tore off of the Duke's body and blood began to slowly spill out. his other self glanced at the torn-up hand for a brief moment before throwing it behind him, only to see it stop mid-air and fall at the same pace time was moving at. The same could be said for the blood as it rema
Bang bang.Everyone's eyes focused on the arena. This was one of the most anticipated battles.[Aron vs Ren]Already ten days had passed in the blink of an eye and according to the people, these two people were tge strongest.*"Ha, I have to end this battle soon.""Monarchs's eye."—Rustle! —Rustle!The rustling sound of vegetation being pushed to the side echoed across the surroundings as two figures stood on opposite ends.Standing on one side was Ren's cold figure, whilst on the other side was Aaron."You shouldn't have let me catch up with you."Aaron playfully smiled.In response to Aaron's provocation, Ren's face remained indifferent as he coldly said."Move out of the way.""…Oh? Why should I?""…"Ren did not respond.Placing his hand on the sheath of his sword, he started channelling his mana."Hmmm"Feeling the fluctuations coming from Ren's body, Aaron's face became serious. He soon disappeared.Just like before, Aaron reappeared right in front of Ren. Thrusting his dagger
Slowly, cuts started appearing all over his body. For the next minute or so, Reynold was slowly but surely being driven towards a corner. To the spectators, it looked as though he was about to lose.But."Tsk."He suddenly clicked his tongue. Almost instantaneously, a tremendous hue wrapped around his daggers.Taking a step forward, his body suddenly melted into the darkness.SHIIIIING!Appearing right in front of them, Reynold thrust his daggers forward as he performed an odd combo. His first strike was a powerful strike that shot up like lightning, followed by consecutive strikes that could seemingly sever rivers.With each strike, the dagger's pattern became more and more eccentric. At one point, one of the daggers followed a path that was similar to that of a snake. Almost impossible to predict.Under the barrage of attacks, Aerin and Nicholas both cooperated and tried their best to defend themselves against Reynold's weird attacks.However, they knew that they were once again at
With Emma in his arms, pain flashed across his face as his body trembled uncontrollably. Then, raising his head and staring at the sky, towards the red mass in the far distance, Ren screamed at the top of his lungs. "Haaaaaaaa!" His desperate and pained cry resounded through the whole world. * Inside of a tent, not far from where Ren was. A male stared at the panel displaying the battle that was ensuing. His eyes were devoid of any emotions. There was deep ruthlessness hidden within them. Staring at Reb who was mourning Emma's death, the male did not feel anything. Rather, there was a trace of disgust on his face. Tapping onto his right ear to cut off the communication device, he took his eyes away from the screen. "...How useless." His emotionless voice rang through the room. "You had one job, and one job only. Defeat him, yet, you let such emotions sway you. How many times does this make it?" Deep disappointment flashed across his eyes as he stared at a small flask in his
As his emotions returned, Ren's face repeatedly changed as he felt his shoulder twitch uncontrollably. === -Clank! -Clank! -Clank! Surrounded by three black-clothed individuals, Reynold swiftly moved around his apartment hacking at them with his sword whenever he saw an opening. -Clank! "khhh…" Parrying his sword, one of the black-clad individuals signalled to the other two people to attack at the same time. Noticing their sign, Reynold forcefully twisted his body and defended against two attacks coming from his left and right side. -Clank! -Clank! "khhh…" Barely blocking the attacks, he took a few steps back as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. Looking at the three black-clad individuals before him, Reynold couldn't help but curse. "Damm it" Whoever the trio was, they knew about his attack pattern and the sword art he used. From the way he attacked and his habits, they knew them all. It seemed that whoever they were, they had done their research on him and had c
After killing multiple black-clad individuals, Reynold appeared before Emma as he heavily panted for air. "Huff…yes, thanks" Similarly gasping for breath and nodding her head, Emma's eyes darted all over the place as she looked at all of the battles happening around her. "What's going on? where are the professors?" "I don't know" Shaking his head, he looked just as confused as Emma… Logically speaking with everything that was happening around them, the professors would've already come down to help them as they wouldn't stand there and just watch the students die. It had to be noted that a lot of the students here were sons and daughters of very influential figures. Yet with everything going on around them, they still weren't here. That only meant one thing… Thinking that far, he clenched his fists and looked at Emma who seemed to have had the same thought as him. They were on their own… -Woosh! -Woosh! -Woosh! Snapping Emma and Reynold out of their thoughts, three streaks
Excellent!"Joyously shouted Roseal as he stared at a small monitor before him. Extending from the monitor were multiple wires that attached themselves to an individual. Subject 996"Who would've thought that patient that I had put the least hopes on would end up being the one that I have the most hope for."He was truly delighted.Out of all the promising patients he had, 996 seemed to be the ones displaying the most obvious signs of success.At the moment, subject 996 was going through a virtual simulation. Inside the virtual simulation, then he was put under multiple different trials. The trails although different were all things that would cause any sane man to feel fluctuations in their emotions. From killing civilians to committing terrorist acts, or dying in multiple different ways.At the moment, both the MRI machine and Holter monitor were currently showing no unusual fluctuations. This meant that subject 996was currently in the exact state Roseal was trying to achieve.A sta
