Chapter 38 - Tristen vs Lord Haro

Lord Haro punches himself on the chest as his armor starts to change as he holds out his left hand and opens up his hand and speaks.

"Fire Beam."

As a large red hot beam that covers over 40% of the room, comes blasting out of Lord Haro's hand at almost light speed towards Tristen. As the fire beam hits Tristen, sending him flying backwards towards the wall, he switches his sword style in midair from earth style to wind style.

As Tristen does an upwards cut at Lord Haro. Slashing the fire beam in half and even cutting Lord Haro's left hand in half in one slash. Lord Haro looks at his left hand and starts to think.

("Even with my Armor Haste active, he is able to cut through it like nothing.")

As Lord Haro looks at his left hand fully regenerates back to normal from the previous attack then looks back at where Tristen was standing, but just sees the leftover smoke from the fire beam. 

As a sword flies through the smoke and pierces Haro in the chest as Tristen jumps over the smoke and kicks Lord Haro in the face, making Lord Haro's head go into his chair breaking the headrest of the chair. As Tristen grabs the sword with both of his hands and power pushes the sword more into Lord Haro's chest, as Tristen pushes the sword deeper into Lord Haro's chest, Lord Haro grabs Tristen's hands with his left hand and with his right hand, Lord Haro grabs Tristen by the face and slams it into the ground. 

Lord Haro then stands up and grabs Tristen by the leg and throws him into a wall, after Tristen flies into the wall with his back, Lord Haro flash steps and uppercuts Tristen in the gut breaking 8 rids and bursts 1 of Tristen's lungs. 

After landing a deadly blow on Tristen, Lord Haro sees blood start to pour out of Tristen's mouth, as he smiles and strikes Tristen again in the gut, but this time Lord Haro grabs Tristen's spine and pulls it, making it break in half. After Lord Haro removes his hand from Tristen's gut, Tristen flows to the ground face first as more blood pours out of Tristen's mouth and gut. Lord Haro then steps on Tristen's head making the ground around him start to crack. 

Lord Haro starts to walk away from Tristen's body towards the main door to the meeting hall. Lord Haro looks back one time at Tristen's body before speaking.

"For a human will no mana in their body, you sure did give me a little action. But even at your level, you are nowhere near the power that I am at."

Lord Haro continues to the door as he hears something behind him, as Lord Haro starts to turn around Tristen comes from the other side of Lord Haro and strikes Lord Haro in the back of the head with his sword.

(Grandmaster swordsman style, Dragon Breath.)

As Tristen strikes Haro in the head, the blade to the sword turns a bright red and it hits, but due to Lord Haro's ability Armor Haste the blade shattered on contact with Haro's armor.

● Armor Haste gives Haro extra layers of armor, and each layer has its own resistance to different effects. Making it almost impossible to do any damage to Lord Haro when Armor Haste is at 100%.

Lord Haro quickly turns around to punch Tristen in the face, but Tristen ducks under Haro's punch and jumps backwards to make some space between him and Lord Haro.

Tristen drops the broken sword on the ground. As Tristen stands there all his injuries and wounds start to instantly heal and regenerate as smoke comes from his body, as he starts to think about what he can do from here.

("Damn it. Only if I was faster, his head would be on the floor right now. But now I am in a bad position, and I have no clue how fair he has gotten in his Armor Haste.")

As Tristen is trying to come up with an idea, Lord Haro is stunned to see Tristen still alive and standing right in front of him.

("How is this even possible? He doesn't have any mana flowing through his body. So he can't be using mana to heal his wounds. Could it be a skill that he has?")

Lord Haro glances over at Alek as he is still laying against the wall. Before looking back at Tristen.

("If that is the case then, I will have to get rid of that skill, before he becomes more of a threat then he already is.")

Haro cast a blue flame in his right hand, then spoke to Tristen.

"For a human. You have supposed me with the power that you contain within you. You should give up and join the Empire. I would hate to kill a great potential like yourself."

As the smoke slowly goes away, Haro can see that Tristen has fully healed back to normal. As Tristen slowly starts to walk towards Lord Haro.

"I should give up? Really is that the best you can come up with? I was going to ask you the same thing. But without the join us party. Because there is only one person I will follow, and that is Princess Vita."

Tristen hair starts to glow a little as his body starts to heat up, and his muscles start to grow in size.

"You dare to turn down a chance to join the empire? How dare you, I will defeat you and then kill that princess of yours with my own hands."

("What is this? Is this another skill that he has? It seems like he is going all in now. I should end this quickly then.")

"You can threaten me, torture me, hunt me down, break all my bones in my body, and even kill me. But if you even DARE, to lay a hand on a piece of Princess Vita's magnificent hair. I will hunt you down to the end of time, and when I get to you. You would wish you were dead."

As Tristen dashes forward at Haro, Tristen goes to land a fast strike on Lord Haro but is stopped short by Lord Haro's Armor Haste.

"You really thought your punches would hit me. Think again, Gifted Human."

As Tristen sees that even his quick strikes are not effective against Haro's Armor Haste, he goes to jump back to get away from Haro, but before Tristen could, Lord Haro grabs Tristen's by his shoulder as he activates his skill, Block Off.

● Block Off, allows for Haro to block or negate any skills that the opponent has. But can only work on one skill at a time.

("I got you now, Gifted Human. Without your healing factor, I can easily defeat you now, without back a sweat")

After grabbing Tristen by the shoulder, Lord Haro punches Tristen in the face, then right after punching Tristen, Lord Haro with the same hand Lord Haro casts an ice spell. 

As Lord Haro puts his hand on Tristen's chest, Tristen's body starts to be pierced by ice thrones. Tristen goes to kick away from Lord Haro, but as Tristen goes to kick Lord Haro, Lord Haro casts an earth spell, to make Tristen's other foot to be eaten by the ground.

"Did you think I would let you get away from me that easily?"

Lord Haro lets go of Tristen's shoulder and makes a fireball in his hand.

Lord Haro goes to cast a giant fireball at Tristen in face, as Tristen rips his foot out of the ground and grabs Lord Haro's hand that is on his chest, as Tristen spins around and heel kicks Lord Haro in the side of the head, making Lord Haro fly a couple of feet away from Tristen. Giving Tristen the space that he has been trying to get.

As Tristen looks at Lord Haro and sees that even his kick did nothing to Lord Haro.

("Is there anything that I can do, that can do damage to him?")

"Give up human. There is no way you can get past my Armor Haste. You are just wasting your time."

"I will never give up."

"I was hoping you will say that."

Lord Haro snaps his fingers, as spears come out of the ground impaling Tristen where he stands.

Then Lord Haro cast another fire spell.

"Fire Ray."

The fire ray comes down from the ceiling on top of Tristen.

After the fire ray dissipates, Haro runs up to Tristen as he is trying to heal from the damage. Lord Haro creates a giant axe made from earth magic and strikes down on Tristen's right side. Almost cutting Tristen in half.

Then Lord Haro does a follow up strike from the side. Sending Tristen flying into the wall.

Lord Haro stands there for a second looking at Tristen, as Tristen's body falls face first to the ground. Before Lord Haro starts to laugh a little as he drops the axe on the ground.

"Hahaha. Yes. Yes. YES. Do you see me now, Lord Issuemon? Do you? I have killed the Gifted Human. That should at least make me the 8th Lord. No wait, the 6th Lord."

Lord Haro starts to look around the room before he deactivated his Armor Haste. Haro then starts to walk over to Alek to see how he is doing. He then hears some speak from behind him.

"Alek, get up. I need you to…"

"What are you talking about when you said you killed me?"

Lord Haro freezes in place for a second, as he quickly goes to reactivate his Armor Haste, Tristen instantly punches Lord Haro in the face. Making Haro stumble back a little. As Tristen falls to the ground.

Lord Haro shakes off the hit as he becomes confused and has disbelief in his eyes, as he sees Tristen start to stand back up on his own two feet.

"How is this even possible? You should be dead. My skill Block Off, spots other skills from work. So how are you still alive?"

"Well, that is simple."

As Tristen fully stood up and instantly healed his wounds and regenerated his arm back as he makes a fist with his hand.

"I am the only one that has the chance to defeat you. And do you want to know why that is?"

"Why is that?"

"It is simple really. I don't have normal skills."

Lord Haro looked at Tristen with a confused look on his face, before speaking.

"What do you mean, you don't have normal skills."

"I don't have normal skills. All the skills that I do have, come from my blessing."

When Lord Haro heard that Tristen's skills are all from his blessing, he instantly goes into rage mode.

"Do what? You're telling me that you are so lucky that all your skills are from blessings?"

"What does it matter? Skills are skills, even if I got my from a blessing, I will still defeat you. Even if I have to use all my blessings to do so."

("Does he have more than 2 Blessings? There is no way he can have more than 2, it is rare enough to even get 2 Blessings but having 3 or even 4 is impossible. He has to be bluffing")

As Lord Haro is thinking, Tristen takes a deep breath before speaking to himself.

"Forgive me, Princess Vita. But I will have to use it. I promise you can scold me later, after I defeat this fiend."

"Who are you calling a fiend? I will destroy you…"

Tristen moves faster than Lord Haro could see and uppercuts Haro right in the gat. Breaking through Lord Haro's Armor Haste like it was paper.

"Uhhh. How?"

Tristen punched Lord Haro so hard that it made Haro fly into the ceiling. Lord Haro falls back to the floor landing on his feet and looks at Tristen.

"How did you get past my Armor Haste?"

Tristen smiles.

"Do you not get it?"

Tristen points at himself.

"I am just that much stronger than you."

Flames start to come off of Lord Haro's body as he gets even more in rage.

"You dare call me weak."

"I never said your weak. If anything."

Tristen points at Lord Haro.

"You're weaker than weak."

Lord Haro grows two more arms and creates weapons out of earth magic for each hand but one, then he looks at Tristen with the eyes of a killer.

"I will kill you."

Tristen looks back at Haro with a serious look in his eyes, as they are now glowing a bright gold color as Tristen grabs the giant axe off the ground and gets in a ready position.

"Now I would like to see that."
