Chapter 63 - Jon's Dilemma

Edgerton Rai

Quetz trembled at the sight of the tall dark haired charming villian that stood before her. The Edgertons were set apart for their magical eye. It contained abilities based on their personalities and Rai that stood in front of her was said to be the second strongest since the history of the Edgerton family. Edgerton the first who had a magical eye that could make one turn to ashes just by staring at them. He was the beginning of the Edgerton family and a great hero of the empire but the Edgerton family declined from being the 2nd place in duchy as time passed due to the kinds of magical eye that the descendants kept having.

Then Rai was born an eye that can drain the opponent's blood just by eye contact. He was hope to the house Edgerton. Not to mention he's combat skills were not lacking even though he's magical affinity was below average he made up for it with the power of his eyes.

Quetz shivered as blood began to drop from her nose then slowly her eyes, mouths and finally ears. The match immediately came to an end without giving Quetz a chance to show her true strength.

Jon covered his face with his palm. If he had known his opponent individual power he might have been able to handle it nicely. The match up was a bad idea.

He clenched his fist.

The team's destiny now lies on his hands.

Neza was very confident, of course he knew how strong Jon was and he was not too sure if he could defeat him in a fight the first day they met. But now; maybe because he grew stronger and could tell, he was very confident he could beat him handicapped.

"Were you the one?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"I was surprised to see him grow at that rate, were you the one training him"

Jon laughed, "what does it distress you?... Another troublesome subject to win over.. , I'm sure you thought of him as insignificant, even though you needed his wealth he was quite easy to do away with but now he's becoming a problem you'd have to deal with...Not that I care anyway, think what you want, I've got no issues with you but do not come after my party leader"

The environment became cold,

"hoh, so you're planing to go full power from the start"

"its only reasonable that I respect my opponent's strength"

Jon stretched his hands out wide, ice vapors began to concentrate at different angles around the stage, Nez stood still with his arms folded. He focused his magical power on his index and middle finger.

"depending on which move I make, I might loose any part of my body. Well calculated, if it was someone else he would've failed to realize, even if he did realize there's no way to counter but I'm different. I gave you the opportunity to attack first because i plan to finish this in a go. I must save my power for the best"

Neza's maroon colored aura shot up, the whole area became dense and even Jon's ice vapor was diluting. The heavy atmosphere brought heat and tension in Jon's heart, but he didn't stop, he focused more magical power at the tip of his fingers and the small energy ball condensed and got smaller, the more magical power it received the smaller it got.

As Neza moved a step, the ice vapor began to crystallize and roll from all corners over thirties ice crystals were rolling and moving around the stage like a trap that has been triggered, the floor of the stage was frozen except the part Neza stood. It was proof that Jon was actually imbuing the ice crystals and the environment with alot his magical powers.

Neza continued to move, instead of him to get sliced by the ice crystals, the moment the ice crystals entered his range it melts and then Jon had to pour more magical power in order for the melted part to crystallize again.

"(damn I'm not getting anywhere with this... If I decide to take get rid on those crystals and focus more on this energy shot, he would be given ample space to move freely, even though he's melting the crystals, it's not like it's doing zero damages to him....I'll just shoot this and bet my all on it. I can't surprise everyone and awaken a strong power suddenly like Rein)"

𝘍𝘸𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘴𝘩𝘩𝘩𝘩𝘩

He released the ice energy, the floor dissipated as the energy shot spread as it went further before the completion of a second. The whole view was covered with whitelike smokescreen.

The ground of the stage was crushed till outside the stage and the debris scattered around. The smokescreen cleared and revealed Neza with his left palm stretched out forward.

Jon's eys widened, "(did he stop... all.. that with just.. his..)"

His vision turned pitch black as he fell to the floor on his back. Jon's blooded dripped down from the hand Neza had plucked into his eyes.

The movement was so sharp and fast that he couldn't see it coming although he was distracted.
