章 109: Impressive Blind Fury  

Whoosh!

"Hey, hold up!" Hao could detect Lanor's high-speed movements bashing against the droplets on her way towards him. "Heck." He struggled to grip the sword properly with Wheelz. He had to toss away the scabbard in order to block Lanor's attack.

Clang!

Brilliant sparks flew when the blades contacted each other, causing the surrounding raindrops to instantly evaporate.

"Hey, I wasn't ready. What's your deal?" Hao pushed back against Lanor before tilting his weapon and flipping backwards.

Lanor came at him again. "A true Blade Master's senses should always be sharp and ready for a fight."

This time he dodged her trust instead of parrying. "Since when have you become this wise old grandma? Don't forget that the last time we had a duel, I kicked your butt."

"I'm well aware of that. But I've been practising." She launched her Rapier forward. "This time will be different."

"Of course, it will. I'm at a disadvantage here." He shifted his head to avoid impalement. "Not only has my sight dwindled but my arm is also done for."

"Enough excuses. Stand and fight me!" Lanor grew tired of Hao running away from her. Thus, she got low and struck the ground. BOOM! Her Rapier released a brilliant glow that rippled through the puddle, disseminating the particles into myriads of resplendent orbs that raised up and began oscillating around Hao like a barrier.

"Hmm, what is this?" Although he couldn't see the globular radiances circling him, he could sense their chilling presence.

"You're trapped within my Resplendent Vacuum. The only way to escape is by besting me in battle. Think you're up for the task?" She aimed her sword at him from the small distance between them.

Gulp!

A mouthful of saliva scraped Hao's throat as he swallowed his fright. He smiled, portraying a confident façade as if Lanor's ability didn't faze him. "I'm always up for the task." He alighted in a more balanced stance with Wheelz held diagonally before him and the sword tip touching the ground. Before dashing into an impulsive frontal assault, Hao wanted to know what he was up against. Therefore, he sliced through one of the glowing orbs.

Slash!

As a result, he heard a popping sound followed by multiple frequencies shooting towards him. "Huh!" These frequencies were in the shape of many tiny light swords. Hao rolled out of the way but a few managed to graze his jawline. He touched it and found traces of blood.

'She's not messing around.' He thought.

Lanor read him like an open book and said, "Now you understand what you're up against. You better not make this too easy for me."

Dash!

'She's coming!' Hao used his low position to his advantage to slide across the puddle and slash at Lanor's lower half.

"Sneaking, but futile." She hopped over his strike like a rabbit and in that same breath, lowered her Rapier towards him.

Hao sensed the descending sharpness approaching his nape and timely positioned Judgment Day to absorb the attack. He slid out of her reach then faced her. 'She's fast, that much is certain and these things she has rotating around me are restricting my movement.' His head lowered towards Wheelz. 'This sword feels like paper in my grasp. It's difficult to wield it properly.'

"What are you standing idle for?" Lanor broke his contemplation with an around-the-world downward slash.

CLANG! Their blades met once more. While their contact lasted, Hao reached for Judgment Day and swung it fiercely at his target, slapping her away like a fly.

"Hey, what was that?" Lanor regained her footing and glared ahead. Her gaze narrowed in on the X-Class relic. "You're not supposed to use that sword during our sparring session."

Hao picked up on her livid tone and responded, "You didn't say I couldn't use it earlier. Besides, this even things out, don't you think."

"Bastard!" Lanor cursed upon seeing Hao's smirk. Despite knowing that her mother had placed a seal on Judgment Day, she still feared getting hit by it. After learning how it absorbed Patch and the other gang member, she became very wary and kept her distance from it.

"What's the matter?" Identifying that Lanor wasn't making any rash moves towards him again, Hao gloated. "You scared of this weapon so much that you're frozen like a statue? Very well, I won't use it against you anymore." He began securing Judgment Day at his back. "I wouldn't want you to start pissing yourself and blamed it on the rain." He chuckled.

"You fowl mouth cur! I'm not scared!" Lanor's rage seeped into her limbs, forcing her to launch herself like a rocket towards her opponent. "I'll show you who's frightened! Burn Bright!" The tip of Rapier swelled with an orbital glow that began to shrink after shooting out a deadly laser beam.

Boom!

The attack was so noise worthy and bright that it interrupted the children's fun time, compelling them to stop and observe the fight.

"How was that!?" Lanor glanced beyond her dissipating laser blast to see if Hao was still in one piece. To her dismay, his heart was beating loud and heavy. What saved him from becoming strewn about the compound like garbage was Wheelz. He had expanded it at the right moment to deflect the blast.

"Are you insane lady? That could have seriously hurt." Hao hollered hotly, which caused ripples to flow through the puddle.

"That was the whole idea. Count yourself lucky that you survived." Lanor was unapologetic, which made Hao angrier.

"I see how you want to play this. In that case, I'll also get serious." A blue aura began to radiate around Hao. 'Blind Fury.' He switched the sword to his right hand and then shot off like a shooting star towards Lanor.

"He's fast!" Her heart almost escaped her mouth when she recognized how close Hao was, moreover, how quick and precise his sword was swinging. SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! 'Is he trying to chop my head off?' She was in disbelief. 'He seemed possessed by a demon!'

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Hao's sword continued to abuse Lanor nonstop. The kids became frightened when they saw how he was moving. "Big sis might be in danger."

"Don't get too cocky! RAH!" In response to Hao's brutal advance, Lanor commanded her Resplendent Vacuum to release its sharpness at him. Millions of tiny light swords were dazzling towards their target, cutting through the air like a swarm of bees.

"Huh!" Although he heard them coming, he kept on pressing Lanor like the buttons on a keyboard. Eventually, the light swords caught up and he couldn't outmanoeuvre them.

'He's finished.' Lanor thought. But she received the shock of her life when she witness what Hao did next.

Operating Wheelz in its enlarged state, Hao turned, faced the incoming swarm of bees then lifted his arm really high before viciously slamming it into the ground. BOOM! He used the upheaved portion of the earth as a shield against the myriad of light swords. Not one of them got to sting him directly.

"What the hell. He could do that?" Lanor gasped. This was something she didn't expect Hao to pull off, and to make matters worse, it didn't end there. She noticed him rushing towards her like a rabid dog. "Stay away!" She clapped her Rapier against the moist ground which created a shooting wave of light energy as she ran.

"Going somewhere?" Hao easily evaded the attack, subsequently, he fired off Wheelz's grappler and latched onto Lanor's foot. "Get over here!" He reeled her in rather brutally with her body rubbing against the rough ground until her naughty areas began to show. His sword was already set in position to strike her when she arrived.

"Big sis!" The kids' worry became more pronounced as they feared what would happen next.

"Eek!" Lanor also began to panic. "I yield! I yield!" She threw in the towel but it was too late. Hao's sword was descending rapidly towards her chest. It seemed there was no stopping it. But then…

Clang!

Out of nowhere, a dagger came knocking the sword away. It barely missed impaling Lanor's chest. Instead, it sunk deep into the concrete.

"Raven?" Lanor noticed her presence to the side, rushing over. She shifted her gaze back to Hao who towered over her like a menacing character. His blue aura began to fade then his knees wobbled. He appeared to have lost consciousness as he fell atop Lanor, face deep in her scrumptious bosom. "Huh, he passed out?" This was an embarrassing moment for her.

"Lanor, you ok?" Raven came along and kicked Hao off of Lanor like he was a piece of garbage. Next, she hopped on top of him with her remaining dagger pressed at his neck. "I'm going to cut you up real good."

"Raven don't!" Lanor stopped her from slitting Hao's unconscious neck.

"But he could have almost killed you if I hadn't intervened. Are you saying I should spare his smelly life?" Raven was puzzled.

"Yes." Lanor pleaded.

"What's going on here?" Shortly, Vicky came out to see Raven sitting on top of Hao in the rain with her dagger aiming for the kill strike.

"Mum, we were just having a little sparring match, that's all," Lanor explained.

"Little spar…?" Vicky's eyes fell upon the ground upheaval in the compound and furrowed her brows in anger. "Make sure not to dig up the front of the driveway." After saying this, she rolled back inside the warehouse. The sound of the gears on her wheelchair creaking was drowned by the pouring rain.

"Help me bring him inside." Lanor requested Raven's aid to carry Hao's body but she blatantly refused.

"Do it yourself." She retrieved her dagger and walked away, leaving Lanor with the lifting task. But not to worry, for the Sword Fishes came along and gladly lifted Hao inside, out of the rain.


章 110: My Mate Is Back In The Slums  

Lanor sighed in frustration as she looked at the X-Class relic. After placing Hao down on a mat, she said to Symphy and Euphy who were standing over him looking worried:

"No need for you two to look so glum. He only passed out." Lanor used a cloth to dry Hao's face clean of sweat and rain.

Symphy and Euphy still appeared to be worried about his well-being. They stared at him anxiously for a few more seconds before Lanor clapped her hands and ordered them to go away. Which they did. They returned to playing with the children outside in the rain.

As for Hao, he slept like a baby until he woke up around dinnertime. By then, he was alone in the warehouse. "Huh... what happened?" He held his head, which had a splitting migraine. 'Aww man.' He remembered what happened to him and the sword sparring session. 'How could I be so stupid? Lanor almost died because of me.' He berated himself for losing self-control.

"Even though she started it, I should go and apologize." He searched for Judgment Day and found it beside him. In the process of rising to his feet, his ears picked up on something heavy being lifted by a group of strong men. "Huh?" He further listened to hear Scar's voice:

"Careful when you're loading it in the truck. I don't want to spend the night fixing another dent to it like last time."

"What are they up to?" Hao wondered as he wobbled slightly towards the warehouse exit to get a better listen. On his way there, he ran into Vicky.

"Good, you're up. I thought you were going to sleep for another day. Come with me." Vicky began pushing her wheelchair towards the warehouse entrance, motioning Hao to follow her.

'I wonder where we're going.' Hao decided not to pry and obediently followed after her. The rain in the Wranglers District had calmed down, so when they were moving about outside, the sound of Wheelz squeaking and clanking was more prominent than before. When the two reached the warehouse's exit, they came across a long truck parked outside.

Scar noticed Vicky's presence and said, "Boss, the cargo is loaded." He glared at Hao for being a dirty stain in his vision. To him, Hao was like an overstayed guest he needed to kick out.

"I know. How much are you taking with you today?" Vicky inquired.

"We're taking the whole thing this time. Hopefully, we don't run into any more Slum Rats." Scar spat on the ground, feeling disgusted when he thought back to that ambush in the narrow street area that left his Scissor Cleaver bloody.

"Alright, prepare to head on out. I have a few more things to attend to before I join you."

"You got it, boss." Scar responded elatedly then shouted at the others, "Oi, you heard the lady, prepare to roll out!"

All the underlings nodded and jumped into the truck. They put on the headlights and cranked the engine a few times to get it to start.

"What is that about?" Hao was curious to know why there was a truck at the compound. He turned his head at Vicky while he waited for her response.

Vicky glanced at him with a confident look that made Hao slightly nervous although he couldn't see her face. The air that escaped her lungs coupled with her intense aura made her seem like a wild beast. Her response was brief and to the point:

"It's none of your business. Keep your ears to the ground."

"None of my business?" Hao wanted to reply to her harsh dismissal but the roaring sound of the truck engine suddenly came to life, jolting him away from his train of thought. He changed the topic to something more concerning him. "When are you going to disable that blocker that you placed on my sword?" As he asked this, he gestured to Judgment Day.

"In due time. You're not ready yet." Said Vicky, sounding unbothered. She spun her wheelchair around.

"Not ready? What's that supposed to mean?" Hao didn't understand what she was implying. "Does this have something to do with the S-Catalogue you have me and Lanor nab from that gallery?" Based on Vicky's silence, he surmised correctly and issued the following question, "What is it for anyway?"

"Hmm..." Vicky considered whether or not to let Hao in on her secret. But before she could answer, she heard something out of the ordinary approaching the compound. It came from the east direction. She squinted to make out the details of an approaching Beast Carriage pulled by a lone Libdo Ranger.

"Huh? What's that?" Vicky was alarmed by this unknown occurrence. Her first reaction was to sound the alarm for a raid. However, before she could give the order for Scar and the others to go on the offensive, the Beast Carriage entered her view. It came to a stop at the compound entrance, releasing its riders.

"Who the hell is so brave to roll up in our crib?" Scar, angry and perturbed hopped down from the truck to confront whoever dared to enter his territory. He wasn't the only one on alert, Raven, Boulder and the others were also dismounting the truck to get a better look at the guests, even Lanor and the kids came from around the back where they were having fun playing with the Sword Fishes.

"Are you sure this is the place? It seems like the slums from a fairy tale world. How quaint. I don't know whether to be disgusted or impressed."

"Huh, that voice?" Hao recognized the feminine voice that was speaking. "It can't be." His heart skipped a beat as he stared at the entrance where the Beast Carriage was parked.

A beautiful female emerged followed by a rugged fellow carrying a large case. Both these individuals were familiar with Hao. The rugged character was Mentos, his best mate and the beautiful dame was Ciara, his closest female companion from the Blade Engineering Guild.

"Mentos and Ciara?" Hao was expecting them to arrive more than a couple of days ago. He thought that Mentos had forgotten about the agreement they made before he left the Wranglers District. Turned out he didn't

"Hmm, it's just him." Scar and the others became more relaxed when they realized Mentos's presence. However, they still had a bit of suspicion creeping into their bones, for they had no clue about the extra.

Lanor came shoulder to shoulder with Hao as she stared at the pretty lady beside Mentos. "Who is she?"

"She is..." Before he could finish giving her his answer he felt an added human embracing him. Ciara's embrace was compassionate and heart-warming as if it was a warm blanket on a cold night. Lanor, watching from the side was secretly peeved at Ciara's intimacy with Hao.

"Vee, I thought I would never see you again." Ciara continued to hug Hao until Mentos came along and break them apart.

"Alright you two love birds, save some room for me. I'm coming in." Mentos was happy to reunite with his friend after so long. He slapped Hao on the back and asked if he was alright. Hao returned the same amount of enthusiasm as they exchanged hearty laughs. "Sorry that it took me so long to get back. But I have great news." He gestured to the case on his back.

"Is it in there?" Hao queried.

"That's what mama bear said. We haven't opened it yet."

Hao's anticipation was evident as he thought about what his new Vibe Edge would look like. He urged Mentos to set the case down and open it, however, they were startled by a sudden outburst.
