"Huh! Who the F**k are you ?"
"Ahh…."
"Haha!, I told you that I am your MOTHERF**KER!"
"Just tell me your name"
"I am Xerox Zee, rank 999"
"Hey kiddo, though you are powerful, never underestimate our attack!"
The attacker used his Claw weapon to attack me.
-Peng! Peng!
The fight between us continued for 20 seconds where his attack was powerful but I could bear it without much hardship.
And also, his Claw weapon attack was blocked with the help of my sword.
At that time, the attacker felt something of me, so he called his subordinates to attack me so that he could prepare for the magic attack.
On the other hand, I also wanted to make use of my Magic Skill and so I put my full strength in my sword to push away all his subordinates and within a second, I could activate my Magic Skill.
"Ground Freeze"
All the poachers who were trying to hit me froze at that moment except for their Boss.
As with my Magic Skill I couldn't move so I shouted for Aria who was the tank of our team to thrash all those frozen poachers.
"Attack hard!"
"Fire Bomb!"
-BANG! BANG!
Just as Aria was about to hit those frozen poachers, their Boss reacted so fast and Aria was thrown away so hard.
"Ahh Sh*t Sh*t"
I shouted out of frustration.
This really made me frustrated as this was a golden chance to kill all those poachers who were frozen for the moment.
Moreover, I already had used maximum of my mana to freeze those poachers and I felt like I can't withstand any longer with my mana being drained.
"Haha Kido, I told you not to underestimate my power!"
Just as he said that, the Boss took an opportunity to use his skill on me.
"Poison Claw"
Huh!
I was already exhausted with my maximum mana usage and then even when I tried to dodge his attack, I couldn't block it.
"Ahhhh...."
I shouted as the poison got into my right abdominal part.
This attack was not strong but it gradually spread into the body and then the person will be killed.
Having had the basic idea of this attack, I immediately froze my right abdominal area to stop it from spreading all over my body.
Then I took an unfreezing pill that can unfreeze my abdominal part.
While I was doing all those precautions, another poacher attacked me with his sword but to my luck I rolled to the other side and dodged his attack.
"Huh! How can you be so fast to dodge my attack" The poacher said.
The Boss poacher again attack with his skill:
"Fire Bomb"
"Ice Wall"
Immediately I blocked it.
Seeing me suffering a lot from the attack of the enemies, Silvana and Masha wanted to contribute but as I don't want them to be killed I ignored them to join me.
With no other options left for me, I thought of using it now...
My SKill: Dual Skill : Ice Sword.
"Huaaaaaahhh"
Dual Skill was a groundbreaking technique discovered by one of the strongest 10-ranked heroes during the later stages of humanity's war against other species in the novel.
It introduced a way for humans to gain a critical edge: combining two distinct skills into a single, powerful attack.
The idea was deceptively simple:
use two types of mana at once and fuse them into a single technique.
However, mastering it was an entirely different story.
The level of control and focus required was beyond most people's abilities, including mine.
During my training, I had attempted to replicate this Dual Skill countless times.
Yet, despite my efforts, it never showed up on my Status.
That was a clear indication that the Skill wasn't fully developed, or that I simply didn't have the capacity to wield it.
Even so, the raw potential of this incomplete Dual Skill was undeniable.
Now, as I didn't have any other choice, I decided to risk it.
The possibility of backlash didn't matter.
This was my only chance.
Yes, I Xerox Zee had decided.
I concentrated, channeling my ice mana into my sword.
Frost began spreading along the blade, covering its edge with a sharp, chilling sheen.
If the Skill were complete, the entire sword would've been covered in ice, but this was the best I could manage.
"Glacial Shadow Slash!"
I shouted with my full energy.
"What?!"
All of the opponents were shocked, stunned by the sudden explosion of power.
While those poachers who were near got thrown away into the air except for their Boss who was far.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
The Boss got stunned to see his subordinate poachers smashed into the air just by one hit.
"How can this little boy know both the Sword and Magic Skill?"
He shouted out of surprise.
"Are you really a first year student of the academy?. I don't think so. Can you tell me who you really are?"
"I already told you that I am your MotherFu**ker!. Now it's your turn!"
With full confidence, I yelled at him.
I pointed my sword at the Boss, struggling to steady my breath.
My mana was almost completely drained, leaving me dangerously weak.
My body couldn't handle the clash of two different mana types.
So, I had to end this fighter quickly.
"Xerox, right? Don't think I'm as weak as the others."
The Boss snarled, gripping his weapon tightly.
"Severing Slash: Full Power!" he roared.
"Ice Blade Strike!"
I countered back.
-TANGGGGG!
The clash was devastating.
My body screamed in pain as I felt countless cuts across my arms, legs, chest, and even my face.
Blood flowed freely, but I refused to fall. My enemy was still standing, and I couldn't afford to show weakness.
"Haha! So pity on you Xerox!"
The Boss arrogantly spoked.
Then, with one last burst of strength, I swung my blade.
-SLASH!
Blood sprayed into the air before freezing instantly.
My strike had cut deep, slicing into his upper body.
The freezing energy sealed the wound, keeping his body from falling apart completely.
His eyes widened in shock. He tried to say something, but nothing could be heard.
"Yes! That's the En..."
Before I could finish saying it, my body betrayed me.
All my strength vanished, and unbearable pain came through me.
It felt like a thousand knives stabbing me from the inside out.
-Grrrhhhhhhhhh!
I spat out blood, unable to stop the internal injuries caused by forcing my incomplete technique.
I collapsed to my knees, using my sword to keep myself upright.
"Hah… hah… hah…"
"Xerox!"
Voices called out to me. The girls rushed to my side, helping me stay upright.
Relief washed over me for a moment. I thought it was finally over.
But I was wrong.
"You MotherFu*ker!"
I heard a furious shout.
"Inferno Blast!"
he screamed, attacking the spell straight at me.
"Ice W—"
But nothing came.
My mana was completely gone, and my body couldn't move. I could only watch helplessly as the flaming attack closed in.
"Xerox!"
The sound of desperate voices echoed in my ears as everything faded to black.
