"I guess, now we know how this is going to end." Isaac tightly held the Executioner of Nightmares in his hands.
[Xavion level 50 | Class:- Guardian]
Boom!
Both Xavion and Isaac instantly disappeared from their respective position. The next second, Luca heard metal clashing sounds.
Cling!
.
After their first clash, Xavion appeared on a roof.
"No wonder you're soul is so strong. I shouldn't hold back when I am fighting against you." The next second, Xavion put his sword down and concentrated on his mana.
Explosive Earth Missiles!
Isaac's eyes widened seeing 20 fist size balls being fired at him at rapid speed.
.
'Too fast' Isaac knew that he would be injured if he tried to dodge something that was too fast even for his current level.
Shield!
Isaac immediately turned his Executioner of Nightmares into a 3 meters big shield to protect himself from the Earth missiles.
The balls exploded as soon as they hit the Executioner of Nightmares.
.
Booom!
Xavion was beyond shocked seeing how Isaac's weapon changed its shape so quickly. 'This weapon is dangerous.' The power in Xavion's previous attack was enough to kill even a gold rank cultivator yet the shield was strong enough to witness multiple explosions at the same time.
"It looks like I will have to activate my skill."
Guardian's Might!
The next moment, on the dark stormy day, everyone saw golden light.
.
Guardian's Might!
A special type of skill that increases the user's speed and strength for 10 minutes while consuming 10 mana per second.
[Speed 50+]
[Strength 50+]
After a few seconds, the golden light covering Xavion dimmed as he shot toward Isaac like a lightning bolt.
.
Xavion appeared in front of Isaac even before he could react. Like a wild bear, Xavion punched Isaac's chest which sent like flying like a cannonball.
Boom!
Isaac flew back at an uncontrollable speed and crashed and landed on the roof of a house. The roof of the house instantly cracked like a spider web. Isaac felt as if almost all of his bones has been shattered at that moment.
.
Cough!
Isaac gritted his teeth feeling the suffocating pain in his chest and all over his body.
"System, hurry up and put half of my stats to my agility."
Xavion's punch had sent Isaac flying more than 40 meters away. Xavion knew that this was not enough to finish Isaac. Not even 10 seconds had passed, and he again appeared in front of Isaac who had just gotten up with difficulty.
.
"Goodbye, prince" Saying that Xavion vertically swung his sword at Isaac's throat. Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch Isaac's throat, the air around him vibrated violently, In that matter of second, like a flash of light he disappeared causing Xavion's attack to miss.
Before Xavion could realize what was going on, he suddenly felt a coldness. He felt as if a furious wild predator was about to pounce on him. Just as Xavion turned his head to the right, a punch landed on his right cheek and sent him flying.
.
Boom!
Xavion landed 10 meters away, on another roof. Since Isaac had not invested any stats into his strength, Xavion wasn't injured from the punch.
"Not Bad. I wonder how you managed to become this fast." Xavion spoke while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Isaac didn't reply to Xavion's words. Right now he was in his worse condition. If not for Isaac's high health and stamina, he would have died from that punch. The bones in his chest now had broken once again. It was taking Isaac's all might just to keep himself standing.
.
In the cold rain, Xavion sucked as much cold air as his body could take. Then he then closed his fists, and Xavion began to gather a large amount of his mana in both of his arms. Isaac noticed that Xavion's arms were glowing dark blue. The next amount he punched the empty air in front of him. Releasing two horrifying beasts from his arms.
Royal Tiger fist!
Seeing two 2-meter giant tigers that were entirely made up of dark blue color mana charging at Isaac at terrifying speed, Isaac quickly used his new ability.
.
Isaac had dropped the Executioner of Nightmares when Xavion punched him. So Isaac knew at this close distance, his weapon wouldn't able to return to him in time.
Xavion was smiling happily thinking that Isaac wouldn't be able to defend against one of his strongest attacks. But who would have expected to see a miracle? The next thing that Isaac did was nothing less than a miracle itself.
When the tiger was only 2 meters away from Isaac, it was as if Isaac's body had become light as a feather. For a moment Xavion felt that Isaac was purposely holding back his speed, seeing how Isaac's mystery disappeared as the air around him continued to violently vibrate.
.
Booom!!!!!!
A loud explosion took place that was heard all over the area. Aleesia and Aymer who were 2 kilometers away heard the loud explosion. Even the people of the Mutant base heard the explosion sound.
From the distance, Luca and the attacker Xavion, both had shocked reactions for different reasons. Luca was shocked seeing how terrifying Xavion's attacks were. Again he felt how foolish it was for them to go against Xavion. Luca was sure that Isaac was already dead.
.
While Xavion clearly saw what happened. The attack that Xavion just used was very fast. He was sure that he would be able to take down Isaac. But who would have thought that Isaac would move like a flash of light and would be able to dodge the attack while escaping from the range of the explosion.
The area in front of Xavion has been completely destroyed. All the houses within 30 meters range has been blasted to thousands of small pieces. Debris was all over the place.
.
While Xavion was still shocked to his core, a wind that moved at terrifying speed appeared behind Xavion. Before Xavion could even react, the tip of the spear made a hole in the right part of his chest.
Ahhhh!
Luca's entire body trembled to hear the loud and painful scream that sent chills down his spine. Cough!
"But how?" Xavion couldn't describe the amount of pain he was suffering at this amount. But with all this pain, Xavion only had one question in his mind. He wanted to know how Isaac was getting faster with each passing second.
.
The man who was known as the guardian of southern Eastfox stared at the face of the man who had just given him the toughest battle of his life. Xavion couldn't read even a single trace of emotion on that frost-cold face which was no different from the face of a dead.
Instead of replying, Isaac once again activated his skill. Suddenly Xavion felt a horrifying pressure on his body. The pressure was so great that more blood started coming out. He felt as if he bearing the weight of the whole world. His legs trembled to hold his own weight which now felt like the weight of a stone mountain.
.
Eventually, Xavion couldn't hold on anymore and ended up falling on his knees. He finally understood what was going on.
"Gravity Manipulation....Cough!
Yesterday Isaac received a mission to kill 10,000 zombies which gave him a reward box. With other matters in his hand, Isaac ended up forgetting about the reward box. Fortunately, he opened the reward box once he was on his way to kill Xavion. Who would have thought that the Vampire prince would end up getting a powerful and unique ability, Gravity Manipulation?
.
"You bought this on yourself. You swore to serve the royal family but you broke your promise. The tainted the holy name of your squad. You're not worthy of the title guardian. You're just a lap dog of that bastard Greadsorn." One of the things that Isaac always admired about Aetas Empire was the squad members of the guardian. Those words Isaac just spoke reflected how disappointed he was by Xavion.
Cough!
"What do you know?" Isaac heard Xavion's weak and trembling voice.
.
"We swore to protect this Empire. But what did the emperor has done for us?" Isaac went silent and looked at Xavion whose eyes now was filled with sadness and traces of regret.
"We swore to never betray this Empire. While the Emperor sold us off to the nobles and just to end up becoming those noble's dogs. The emperor turned blind when he told him about their corruption. At that time, I knew that this Empire was long dead. This Empire had become a hollow stone, that looked strong from the outside but was empty from the inside."
.
Xavion clenched his fists tightly as anger started rising in his heart. "Why I shouldn't become loyal to that man when he treats me way better than that useless Emperor? The people of royal families are always like this. You're not different." Xavion started gathering all of his remaining mana in his heart as he activated one last and final skill of his Guardian class.
"For the sake of Lord Greatsorn, I will kill you." Isaac suddenly notice that Xavion's entire body was swelling up like a balloon.
