Bab 46: 46: Duel of Honor 2

'If I want to avoid a confrontation with Joshua, I must deal with Seraphim just as how I dealt with Elias and the triplets.'

Val knew he couldn't use his Blood Manipulation or Absorption skills in this battle. After all, out of all his abilities, Blood Rush was the only one that didn't have distinctive traits that could expose him as a non-Whitemore Bloodline User. Using any other skill would be akin to setting himself on fire as it would be the same as revealing that he had a different bloodline than the Whitemores. A lot of trouble would come his way if he did that, trouble that he wanted to avoid at all cost. So, for this battle, he resolved to keep things under wraps and rely solely on his Blood Rush skill.

"Watch out!" The spectators exclaimed, their eyes widening to the size of saucers as they watched the fireball released by Seraphim coming close to wiping out Val. The smile of victory had already appeared on Seraphim's face.
