Chapter 2 - Ch 2 -Just better

'Domain' I muttered and continued to evade and deflect No 13's slash.'Shit'I Muttered i cant make it a battle of stamina, I will definitely lose.

I noticed a minor fluctuation in his free hand .'Fuck' I ducked down and five blade like projectiles passed above me .'3 artifacts of 4th .....no 5th grade just who the fuck is this guy '.Suddenly the wires connected to the blades started glowing and emitted a purple hue and the temperature around me started increasing .

'Its a trap' as soon as the realization hit me .I casted another spell 'Shadow Slash'. The shadow of no. 13 suddenly rose and slashed at its free hand .

"Aargggh" No 13 let out a muffled scream and the trajectory of the blade like projectiles shifted .'Warp' I casted as I teleported behind him and swung my black staff at his back .His body bent down the moment my staff was about to make contact with his neck. 'Shit I was so close too' I thought as I corrected my stance and cursed at the armor for intervening again.

'Tch I cant hold back' I clicked my tongue .

'Domain expansion: Slow world' I muttered as the world around me slowed down and I readied my black staff and casted its unique skill 'Reflect' .It accumulates all damage afflicted and is compressed in one strike .

*Clink*

A gaping hole opens up in between No 13s chest and he begins to fall down slowly .I turned around and started walking away from his body ."Oi Oi where da fuck do you think you are going ? "

I heard a voice behind me .'You got to be fucking kidding right ', wait I then noticed broken 6th grade relic near his heart .'Have relics become soo common that any wannabe villain can go around wearing it '.This guy is not an ordinary battle mage at the very least .

"Fuck U" I said and gulped a mana pill from my pill bottle .'on the bright side at least the armor interfere in our fight anymore 'I tried calming myself down with this thought in my mind.

"Okay" I casted 'Frost Blaze ' a combination of fire wind and ice .

"Activate" he said his greatsword started getting bigger and had the same purple hue as the projectiles started covering the sword and increased its height to 5 feet. 'No way, Tch ' I clicked my tongue and casted another spell 'Phantom World'.(A/N: No BS Foresight in fancy words).

I could see the attack being aimed at my right shoulder .I took a few steps towards the left and a second later the sword passed over the place where my hand was supposed to be before. I increased my pace and kept on moving towards him. "Why can't you die you bug" annoyed by the fact that I was evading all his strikes .His blade suddenly changed trajectory mid-swing and went for an horizontal slash .

I jumped and evaded it cleanly and came to a realization the gauntlet had similar properties to the greatsword and thus can use 'Beckon' to change and alter trajectory Mid-Swing. 'Nonetheless it does not matter anymore' I muttered in my mind.

'Propulsion' I casted and closed the distance between us in an instant .'Soulless : Shortsword' I said and the golden staff changed its shape into a shortsword with a purple hilt a blue gem embedded at the center and a fine Golden blade.

No. 13 recovered from his blunder and tried to deflect the sword slash coming from his left but nothing made contact instead he feels a deep and painful cut from his right shoulder to his chest.'PhantomSlash'(A/N: Casts an illusion of the opponent attacking ,here No. 13 sees that he was being attacked from the left but was actually hit on his right side k)

"Crap I didn't think that the armor would interfere as a last resort to protect its wearer"

"I am one of the strongest in Mayhem just who.... no what are you?" asked the knight in a baffled tone of voice
