章 17: Chapter Seventeen
-Nick POV-
For the first time in a while now, I felt alive.
I was bleeding out, I was almost cut in half, and the Ace ops were on their last legs, and yet, instead of Fear, I felt exhilarated.
Fear meant incompetence, fear meant being weak, it meant that I was unsure of my survival, it meant that I was facing someone that was so far above my leavel, that I was going to lose without a doubt.
But that simply wasn't true. I literally felt the adrenaline coursing through my body as my face broke into a smile.
"Damn, dude, you good in the head?"
No, no I was not.
I was better.
My aura flared and a day's supply was gone, just like that. I felt my spine restore itself, the organs that were cut through regenerated, muscles reattaching themselves with each other, skin forming back and I was in peek condition again.
"You ruined my shirt, you piece of shit. Good to see you again! Now, try not to die."
The muscles in my legs tensed as I rushed forward, my leg swinging out, impacting the chest of the man who shared the same name as mine.
He was blown back and the aura on my leg flared, preventing it from being sliced off.
A blaster formed in the air behind me, shooting a blast of plasma forward toward its target.
Instead of making contact, the beam evaporated mere inches in front of him, but my assumption was proven wrong when the same beam was shot at me from thin air.
I felt my smile grow as my surroundings blurred as I ran forward, the blade on my hand aiming for Nick's side, only to meet the blade of the scythe that cut me through just moments earlier.
Instead of competing in a battle of strength, I slashed upwards, bringing his scythe with it.
The battle was already in my favor. I trained against Dantte, who used a scythe as his main weapon, nothing he could pull from his ass with that fancy thing could surprise me.
My body lowered, putting the weight on my left leg and spinning, slashing at his waist.
Purple light erupted from Nick's feet, and before I could cut him in half to return the favor twofold, he was gone. I could sense him behind me, next to the Ace ops.
My own magic flared and my surroundings shifted as I thrust forward, which was blocked again, but this time, his body was flung back, impacting the walls of the cave yet again.
The sheer impact caused him to cough out blood which I took odd satisfaction in.
Walking forward slowly, and deliberately, I placed a hand on Winter's shoulder, channeling my aura to her, refilling her reserve, which wasn't even one-third of his own.
"Get out of here, I have some catching up to do."
The instructions were clear, if she fucked up and died, it wasn't my fault. Not anymore.
"Dude! What the hell?! How the fuck are you this strong?!"
The smile I had on my face, the one I didn't think could widen anymore, widened. In response, Nick twirled his scythe, slamming it down on the ground, and honest to god that sent us here, a magic circle appeared in front of him.
"White Nova."
The name of the attack echoed in the cave and a bright, white dot appeared in front of the circle. I raised my hand, Creating a canine skull in front of us, as large as the cave would allow, but before it could open its mouth to attack, the "White Nova" went off.
Heat washed over me as something impacted the blaster. Forcing it to fire manually, the blast of heat was redirected upward as the cave shook.
Bones burst from the ground as I reached out with my telekinesis, grabbing him and grounding him where he was standing. Bones pierced his body, legs, hands, and chest, all of them had multiple bones embedded into them.
His body tensed and started to melt. The bastard must have used another spell while the nova was going off.
I looked around but noticed he wasn't in the cave anymore, he either teleported or...
I looked up at the hole that was made, light shining down from it.
Up in the air, floating, was nick, above him, a giant, a golden magic circle with moving shapes I could not discern from here glowed brightly and I felt the urge to deadpan.
Mother fucker.
Lighting burst from the circle, instantly traveling down the newly made tunnel, and impacting the ground.
I was no longer there, however, watching the bastard that just destroyed a mountain on a blaster I countered, holding the others with my telekinesis.
I could feel his smirk from here.
Another magic circle, bigger than the one before formed behind him and I felt the urge to groan when a roar resounded.
What was this? An anime? I wanted a fight, not a dick-measuring contest on whose mana would deplete first.
It would be him, obviously.
A head of a dragon emerged from the circle, probably a familiar, or a summon that was actually a dragon.
Both of those had advantages and disadvantages, but for now, I had to respond in kind.
My aura flared, fueling my Mana supply as the ground shook yet again. A giant skull emerged from the earth, a claw made of bones following it. then a ribcage, then hindlegs, then a tail.
The bone construction held together my mana would have roared in response if it had any vocal cords, so instead, it just charged up the giant blue ball in its maw.
Teleporting the extras in the Bullhead that was in the distance, I popped my neck.
Fire met plasma and the world shook.
