The teenager with the buzz cut and intimidating build chuckled with obvious contempt as Lucas stood at one place in a relaxed demeanor, his armor of decimation draping his whole figure except his head, and phantom Sword in hand..
"On a serious note, I don't think I need this sword to deal with you guys... Just what method should I choose to end you all?" Lucas sighed... he really had so many affinity related skills to choose from,considering the about to occur skirmish.
"Alright, let's see how effective the armor of decimation and the phantom sword are"... Lucas mused inwardly, a maniacal grin plastered on his face..
The teenager with the buzz cut and intimidating build smirked, as a green aura completely shrouded his figure...
In the span of a few seconds, a few branches from the surrounding trees in the environs seemed to have received life of their own,as they shot with speed towards Lucas from various directions..
With Lucas' intricate perception, he spotted this incoming attack. Lucas did not even move from his current position...
"The phantom Sword being compatible with elemental affinity related energy means that I can control elemental affinity related energy to coat the blade of the sword . ... The question is, how do I control the elemental affinity related energy to coat the blade of the sword ..?... Right!!!... I have my lightning maestro skill for that''... Lucas determined what to do in the span of a few seconds, then...
Szrrrr....
Lucas activated his lightning maestro skill, causing lightning elemental energy to swarm the phantom sword's blade. The phantom Sword's blade as a result, assumed an azure glow with sizzling streams of intensifying electricity...
With the 200% attack boost in the usage of all elemental affinity related skills provided by equipping the armor of decimation, coupled with Lucas' natural strength as a C ranker, Lucas swung the sword sizzling with electrical waves with swift precision aided by his perception attribute ,towards the approaching branches consecutively.....
Scrwwwhhheecchhh!
Lucas was akin to a lightning overlord wrecking havoc...
The tree branches were not even spared the chance to assume a charred disposition. Rather, the intensity of the lightning attack launched by Lucas was so massive that the branches turned into motes of ashes ,then to nothings, whenever they came into contact with the young man...
Without any further waste of time, Lucas has made up his mind...
Kill!...
He dashed towards the horde of adverseries who launched various attacks towards him...
His first target was the gentleman who spat in his face...
Shaaarrrhhh!..
Lucas slashed the Phantom Sword now enveloped with lightning streams towards the gentleman before he even had the time to process what has happened to him....
Lucas' sword coated with lightning only ventured a few centimetres into his neck before his whole figure sizzled with lightning and turned into ashes, then into nothings... This was the power of Lucas' attack... It was so powerful that before the sword could even assume a few seconds to chop through the foe's neck, the foe had already been eviscerated into nothings ....
The young man had died, just like that... This was the power of Lucas' attack...
"No"... The young petite lady who exuded killing intent earlier screamed...
It was obvious that the gentleman Lucas had just murdered was her boyfriend ....
However she gritted her teeth, and turned around, about to flee with her comrades...
"Trying to run away uh ...unfortunately it's too late for you now... You cannot get away after trying to kill me "... Lucas scorned....
Kill!!...
He dashed towards the young lady, causing the same scene and fate her boyfriend met earlier to repeat itself...
She had literally perished after coming into contact with Lucas' simple yet powerful slash of the Phantom Sword coated with lightning streams..
The others bellowed in regret as they turned around to face Lucas...
"Please spare us, they only forced us to follow them..."
"I can give you all the money you want... I can even become your mistress if you want..."
"Please spare..."
"Please..."...
... This and many more cries of regret and fear accompanied with snots and tears splattered the the vicinity..
"Hahaahhahaahaa..." A laughter tinged with scorn, anger, and disdain from Lucas rung in the setting...
Lucas shook his head dejectedly as he stood before the so called predators who thought they were hunting him, now turned into his prey...
"It's funny how deceitful the human heart can be... A couple of minutes ago, the looks in your eyes when you all looked at me were that of wariness, disdain , and hatred so strong that I even felt the killing intent you lot were exuding and now, you are all telling me that those two who died earlier forced you into this?... Don't kid yourself... I made a vow to myself that I will never allow anyone to threathen my existance again as long as I have the strength to protect myself... So sorry, I cannot go back on my word ... You lots are gonna pay with your lives for even entertaining the thought of trying to end me today.."
Lucas met their frightened gazes, then dashed and swept through them like a wind, sword sizzling with lightning in hand...
Wherever he passed, the previous occupant of that space was nowhere to be found ...
Szrrhhhhhh!!!!
Lucas eliminated them all... He did not just kill them and left the remains of their bodies... He completely eliminated them...nothing of his adversaries remained... They had all perished...
" Oh crap ...!...A pity I got carried away... Now that no bodies were left behind, there are no affinities and skills to copy from them" Lucas sighed, then turned around, about to procede with the next course of his plan...
