‘I have seen what the black sword can do, let’s see what the red one can do.’ He grinned widely as he bolted forward too, ready to meet the vice leader for another round with a renewed surge of anticipation building in his chest.
In a flash, the duo met right in the center.
CLANG!
The sound echoed out as Killian swung the black sword towards Osric but the man quickly blocked with his hand, the blade striking it with a loud metallic clang as it failed to pierce through due to the Ki coating his skin which shimmered faintly from the impact.
“Ahhh!” Osric groaned out as he swung his foot towards Killian’s abdomen but with a surprising burst of speed, the warrior stepped aside avoiding the kick that smashed into the air with a loud bang that sent wind ripples across the broken tiles beneath them.
Without missing a beat, the stage six warrior swung the red sword from down below with immense speed sending it streaking upwards towards the vice leader but in a flash, he leaped back causing the crimson blade to slice through nothing but air.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he shot forth like a canon blasting forward at tremendous speed catching Killian off guard as a punch smashed into his face with bone crushing force, flinging his head sharply to the side.
His body began lifting off the ground only for Osric to grab his legs mid motion and then proceeded to smash him straight into the floor with immense power. The poor innocent flooring beneath them couldn’t take it anymore as it cracked violently and gave way beneath their weight.
Splitting in two, the shattered surface hurled the duo from the upper floor straight to the lower one at immense speed. While plummeting downward, Osric began throwing rapid punches at Killian’s face but the warrior twisted and shifted through the air dodging each hit, his head tilting at sharp angles as the blows narrowly missed him. Now, they were only inches away from the ground.
Right before impact, Killian swirled Ki around his feet and drove it right into Osric’s abdomen with devastating force then he grabbed his shoulders and flung him off his body, sending him flying away just at the perfect moment as Killian himself slammed into the ground and caused dust to rise.
“Ack!” Osric grunted in pain as he stabbed his hands into the ground dragging them through the floor and bringing his body to a skidding halt. He rose up immediately at the same time Killian too was rising, both staring at each other intensely.
Before bolting at each other again, they turned around as groans filled their ears from several directions. Turning fully, they saw dozens upon dozens of men which Osric brought.
All of them were on the ground bleeding, blood seeping from their bodies. Some bled from the back of their knees, some from deep gashes in their heads and others from wounds in their abdomen, all writhing in misery on the shattered floorboards.
“Huh? How is this possible? Who did this?” Osric mumbled in confusion only for a thunder like sound to erupt into his ears from above making him quickly glance up to see a man being hurled down while the Supreme Magus hovered casually in the air dismantling them like they were nothing but weak obstacles.
“Like you said earlier, focus on your fight!” Killian thundered as he blasted forward at immense speed appearing in front of the man in the twinkle of an eye with the red sword slashing from the side in a deadly arc.
Though the attack caught him unaware, his reaction speed remained sharp as Ki flared violently around his feet, cracking the ground beneath him as he leaped back avoiding the slash and without hesitation, he punched the air with immense force sending a visible Ki fist hurtling towards the warrior with destructive momentum.
“You don’t learn!” Killian shouted as he raised the black sword, meeting the incoming Ki fist head-on. Slowly, the swirling energy began to sink into the blade, siphoned away bit by bit as if the sword were alive.
“And you think I forgot? Now you can’t move.” Osric muttered with a low smirk. He darted forward in a burst of speed, leaping high into the air. While spinning, he unleashed a fierce roundhouse kick aimed at Killian’s head, and at the same time, a blazing Ki slash erupted from his feet, streaking toward the warrior like a crescent blade.
‘Shit! I’m not done absorbing the Ki here.’ Killian panicked inwardly, his muscles tightening. Yet he didn’t freeze. Instead, he clenched the red sword tighter, pouring every drop of Ki he could muster into it until the blade burned with a bright, fiery glow.
With a roar, he hurled the red sword forward. A massive Ki slash erupted from it, colliding with Osric’s attack in mid-air. A thunderous bang followed as both forces met, producing a shockwave that rattled the shattered ground and sent dust spiraling in all directions.
Both attacks cancelled each other out in an instant, dispersing into crackles of Ki. The timing couldn’t have been better, because at that exact moment, Killian’s black sword finished devouring the Ki fist entirely. A surge of pure Ki rushed into his Dantian, refreshing him like a cold wave of strength.
‘That sword… wasn’t it the one the Supreme Magus gave him?’ Osric wondered as he skidded back, a deep scowl forming on his face. ‘Troublesome. If he made that thing himself, then the Supreme Magus is far more dangerous than we assumed.’
“I’m not done with you yet!” Killian roared fiercely. Ki flared around his feet, crackling like sparks as a wild grin spread across his face.
‘Thanks to constantly absorbing Ki, I can fight as long as I need to. The Supreme Magus really plans long term. In a drawn-out battle, as long as my opponent has higher cultivation, I’ll never run dry.’
Bang!
Killian shot forward, a blur ripping across the ruined hall. He appeared right in front of Osric, who reacted instantly. A Ki sword sprang to life in Osric’s grasp, already swinging toward Killian with brutal intent.
But Killian was faster.
A grin slid across his face as he slammed his foot into the ground, pivoting sharply. He slipped past the Ki sword by the width of a strand of hair, the air splitting near his cheek.
He struck back immediately.
Killian thrust the red sword with everything he had, pouring Ki into it until his arms trembled. Then something neither of them expected happened.
The sword flared bright orange.
A sudden eruption of flames burst from the blade, condensing into a blazing sphere. With a deafening roar, the fireball shot forward with devastating speed.
Osric’s eyes widened. He barely managed to cross his arms and reinforce them with his Ki sword before the blazing sphere smashed into him.
BOOOM!
Blood erupted from his mouth as his body lifted off the ground like a ragdoll. He was hurled across the room, crashing into the wall with enough force to split it apart. His Ki sword flickered and vanished. His wrists were burnt and trembling violently.
Killian straightened slowly, eyes widening as he stared at the red sword in disbelief.
‘Huh? Did my sword do that?’
He turned the blade over as if seeing it for the first time, heart pounding at the unexpected power now sleeping within it.
