Chương 116: Lachlan vs Alfredo (Part 1)

The two stared at each other for what seemed like a decade; Alfredo dark and evil grin sent shivers down Lachlan's spine, it was like the predator had just found a new play toy. The surrounding researchers were trembling in their spots, unsure of what to do aside from just trying to not be noticed.

"So you managed to get out, that just made things a whole lot more difficult," Lachlan said.

"Indeed, I quite like this planet and I finally have the chance to destroy it." Alfredo's grin widened, his black eyes stared through the entire room, phasing through everyone's bodies. "Of course, that is after I free that damn bastard Jun from his prison."

Lachlan could already tell what the consequences of letting Alfredo out would have on the world, let alone if they double. "Unfortunately, I can't really have you do that; I quite like this planet as well and would rather not see it be destroyed."

Alfredo gave off a burst of maniacal laughter. "Of I know you would say that. Of course this room isn't exactly the best place for you to fight; you won't be able to summon those beasts of yours so easily."

The room really wasn't good for Lachlan, the ceiling was too low for Aaron and would still be rather uncomfortable for the Rocs. He would either have to bring Alfredo outside or deal with him here.

'But the people outside' Lachlan couldn't decide. On one side he was at a disadvantage while on the other side, there's nothing stopping Alfredo from killing people in the surrounding areas. Who's the say he won't just run off if he gets outside the room.

There was also Zhang and all the others upstairs. If Alfredo manages to pull off a sneak attack before he could warn them there's a large chance either some of them are going to die or get badly wounded.

'There's just too many risks of letting him leave' Lachlan decided. Although he wouldn't be able to summon Aaron or the Rocs, Alfredo couldn't summon his beasts either. It was just a pure brawl, one vs one.

"So, have you decided yet?" Alfredo asked with a chilling grin. "Of course I already know which option you've already chosen, so please, entertain me for a while, I need to stretch my muscles."

Alfredo tone of voice suddenly changed into curiosity. "I am also interested in something. If I weaken you enough or even kill you, would the other half come out and replace you? It might just straight up finish the awakening all the while skipping all the steps."

"Awakening?" Lachlan asked, slightly nervous as to what it entails.

"Kekeke, of course, the awakening. The moment one soul regains it's full strength, giving it the ability to create a body for itself and leave the host's body it was previous in. Granted this would just be straight up replacing the original body owner," Alfredo explained with a menacing voice, he sounded excited but that only furthered the fear in Lachlan's body and mind.

"Well I can't exactly let that happen," Lachlan said as he scratched his head. He got himself in a defensive position. "I suppose I'll just have to kill you first."

Alfredo disappeared from his spot, Lachlan's eyes constricted with shock as he raised his arms to cover his face. A powerful shot went through his entire body, almost shattering the bones in his arm. "Kekeke surprised you managed to block that." Alfredo laughed as he was about to pull back his leg.

Lachlan suddenly reached out and grabbed hold of Alfredo's leg, using his control over fire and encased Alfredo's body in a ball of flames. "Burn, burn into nothing but ash!" Lachlan used his full control and might to increase the intensity of the flames.

"Good! Good! More! More! Keep going I think I'm feeling something," Alfredo's laughter was still heard even though his body should be burnt up. The ball of flames suddenly burst, inside it was a ball of hair that had been covered by ice.

"Tsk." Lachlan knew the fight wasn't going to be easy, it was as though Alfredo's other half knew everything there was to know about abilities. Not to mention Alfredo himself knew all of Lachlan's strengths and likely more.

Some of the researchers near them finally snapped out of their frozen state and ran towards the elevator. They were trampling over each other to get there first, kicking, punching, and yanking on people to push them down.

"Haha," Alfredo laughed loudly at the sight. "Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to see. Fear and panic, the sight of people killing off others to survive." The elevator door finally closed and Alfredo's grin widened. "Unfortunately, I can't just let you escape like that so easily."

The sound of metal scrapping could be heard before something snapped. It was the elevator's cable, it had snapped before they were able to get out of Alfredo's range. The sound of screaming and crying could be heard through those doors as the elevator fell past the floor.

Johanson was on that elevator, she was the first one on since she was the closest to it. Although Lachlan wasn't sure whether or not she had been crushed to death by everyone getting in.

As for how the elevator cable snapped. Wasn't it obvious? It was Alfredo's doing, using his control over iron to snapped the cable. It also wasn't outside his range of capabilities to have brought the elevator down faster.

Lachlan disappeared from his spot, appearing next to Alfredo attacking him with a roundhouse kick. Alfredo put up his arms to guard and covered them with hardened ice, along that guard was a lot of small spikes that punctured into Lachlan's leg.

"Ah!" Lachlan didn't know why but the pain felt so intense, it couldn't even compare to the other times when they were training on the island. Whether it be punching open the coconut or just body strengthening training, nothing could be compared to the small hole punctures in his leg.

"Do you like it? That pain you're feeling right now is something caused by our bloodline," Alfredo grinned widely as he felt like a scholar. "Unfortunately, you can't use you. But if you just die and let the other half take control it'll be a whole other story."

Suddenly something wrapped around his arm, it tightened; constriction Lachlan's blood flow. Lachlan saw that it was Alfredo's fine strands of hair, they felt as though they were made of steel.

All of a sudden Lachlan felt a burning sensation. The hair that was wrapped around his arm with burning furiously yet not actually burning. Lachlan swiftly used his own fire control to cancel the effects, he raised his hand created a blade across it with ice, swinging down and cutting off a bit of Alfredo's hair.

Staring at his arm momentarily Lachlan could see deep burn marks, they were scorching hot and along with that special effect of that the other halves possess the pain was intensified. Lachlan quenched from the pain.

"Do you like it? Kekeke," Alfredo laughed. "I thought you would, you could see this as a training opportunity, strengthen your skin to resist my hair. At least that way you might have a chance at beating me."

Alfredo's other half was extremely cocky, as though it knew it would win no matter how easy it took it. There was also its irritating voice, one that both annoyed Lachlan's ears but also sent shivers down his spine.

'Suppose I could give that a try' Lachlan decided to go with something he hasn't done it a long time.

Holding up his hands the air began to freeze before forming large spikes made of ice, inside was a small pale blue flame that seemed to blend in with the ice. Lachlan created a few more, he desperately hoped it would work.

The dozen ice sharps flew off, Lachlan boasted their speed with his control over the wind. They broke the sound barrier immediately and shook the entire room, breaking all glass objects in that room along with it.

Alfredo's eyes widened with surprise. His hair swiftly extended out like tendrils, wrapping themselves around the shards to slow it down. But Alfredo's expression changed to shock and panic when he realised they weren't slowing down enough.

He slammed his feet against the ground causing the metal plates used to create the floor to rise up, he swiftly froze them solid and attempted to reinforce them.

The ice shards quickly smashed into them, they tore through the barrier like a sharp knife cutting butter and went straight towards Alfredo. His grin widened as his plan worked, the shards had slowed down considerably.

His hair wrapped around it and the ground morphed around his feet, he held his ground as the shards came to a complete stop right in front of his face. That's when he got a better look at them and noticed what was inside. His head slightly tilted with confusion.

Lachlan, on the other hand, was smiling widely. 'Explode!'

The ice shards in front of Alfredo's face quickly exploded all at the same time. The pale blue flames enveloped the space where Alfredo was standing, devouring his body whole. The explosion shook the entire hospital, the shards of ice have cut straight into or through the walls. The thick smoke covered the entire room.

"Kekeke, ahh you almost got me there," Alfredo's voice sounded out in front of Lachlan. "That was very smart, combining the ice shard's penetrative prowess along with the fire explosiveness. Unfortunately, it seems I still get the final laugh."

Suddenly the smoke broke apart, Alfredo's body was seen. His skin had been completely burnt to a crisp while his hair was completely gone, exposing a bold head. In his hand however was an ice shard of his own.

It was thin, almost the thickness of a single strand of hair. Yet the power it gave off scared Lachlan, he could feel that strength that the ice shard holds.

Lachlan's pupils constricted as the ice shard disappeared, he panicked and replied on instinct, moving ever so slightly to the right. His shoulder was suddenly hit, the shard went straight through like there was nothing there to begin with.

Chương 117: Lachlan vs Alfredo (Part 2)

Lachlan's blood splattered across the wall behind him, he fell to his knees and gripped his shoulder tightly, his eyes were squinting from the extreme pain. Looking towards the wound Lachlan saw that it went all the way through, leaving a gashing hole in his shoulder, his arm only being held onto by a thin thread of bone and veins.

"Oh, well aren't you lucky. If you hadn't moved in time it would have gone straight through that heart of yours," Alfredo said as his grin appeared from and more gruesome. Holding out his palm another ice shard began to form.

"You know what? I might take a bit of inspiration from you," Alfredo said as a fire began to form with the ice. It wasn't a clustered flame concentrated in the centre of the shard but rather a flame that spread throughout it.

He began walking towards Lachlan, slowly and menacingly, making sure Lachlan feared every step Alfredo took with more fear than the last.

Lachlan lifted up his hand and slammed it against the ground, the entire surface was swiftly encased by ice, Alfredo's legs were frozen along with it. He quickly disappeared from his spot, appearing next to Alfredo with a fist of blue flames.

"Go to hell," Lachlan smashed Alfredo in the face. This all happened in a second, Alfredo didn't have any time to protect himself. The ice shard was quickly shattered in his hands, causing it to explode on himself. "An arm for an arm you prick!"

Alfredo was on the floor, the force had pushed him across the room and he wasn't able to stop in time because of the ice. His body had smashed against the wall, making it too powerful hits from both sides of his body.

Looking down he noticed his hand was completely gone along with half of his forearm. The rest of his arm and right side of his body was charred heavily. He felt it getting more difficult to breathe, his ribs were broke and it possibly stabbed himself in the lungs.

"Well played," Alfredo remarked. Ice began to form around his right arm before extending and creating another hand. He held it up to his face and clenched his fists. "Control over the elements is such a useful tool yet you humans haven't discovered its full potential yet."

Lachlan could see Alfredo's chest, it was moving ever so slightly, his ribs were fixing themselves. Alfredo took a deep breath. "Kekeke. Well, now that I'm fully healed I suppose I should finish this. Oh yes, I will say though that letting me heal myself was a rather idiotic choice. But I suppose that's what makes you human."

Alfredo appeared next to Lachlan in the blink of the eye, his ice hand had long since changed into a weapon. It was a blade, he swung it towards Lachlan's neck, it whistled as it broke apart the wind.

Lachlan rose his arm and created a shield out of ice, the two forces smashed against each other. Lachlan got swept from his feet and his body smashed against the wall. "Good, I see that you're learning. Too bad you couldn't have done that earlier."

Lachlan took a bit of inspiration from Alfredo, using his missing limb and creating a weapon in its place. He used ice as it was the only strong physical element he can control, both fire and wind wouldn't be able to block anything. But that didn't mean he couldn't use it.

He swung his blade once more, a torrent of flames engulfed the lab as everything was either melted or burnt to a crisp. Alfredo slammed his legs down and created a barrier or iron, frozen by ice. He then leaned forward and pushed against it, along with that came pillars of dirt.

The barrier completely nullified Lachlan's attack, behind Alfredo lay an untouched part of the lab while the area surrounding him was covered in scorch marks, the metal had melted and his barrier was thoroughly melted along with it.

"Kekeke, it seems your control over your elements is getting better; well, at the very least you're being smarter in how you control it," Alfredo complimented in a slightly mocking tone. "Now let's see if you can block this one."

Alfredo slammed his hand against the ground before he gripped firmly, his hand of ice was still being held slightly in the air but it was moving around ever so slightly. He swiftly yanked back, pulling the ground along with him, he shouted as he exerted his strength unto his feet.

The ground began to rupture as it was being pulled out, it was splitting apart and the metal was breaking apart with it. The crack quickly went past Lachlan's feet and Alfredo grinned. He grabbed onto the dirt along with his ice hand and attempted to pull everything apart.

The ground began to split apart, creating a chasm beneath Lachlan's feet. Lachlan swiftly commanded his gravity stone and floated in the air, he suddenly remembered that he should have used the stone much earlier.

Lachlan tossed a medium-ranked stone at Alfredo's feet. '20 times Earth's gravity downwards'

Alfredo's knees collapsed under the sudden pressure, his eyes widened with shock when he realised what was happening. "Well ain't this a surprise, I didn't expect you to have gravity stones. Tsk, if only I had my damn wings."

Lachlan was intrigued by what Alfredo said last, but he failed to notice something raising from the depths of the chasm. It was a vine, climbing up the walls before reaching out and wrapping around Lachlan's leg, it pulled him down with a sudden force that he wasn't expecting.

Alfredo began pushing the Earth together with great difficulty, his face was red from the blood rushing through his veins. His breathing was erratic as sweat poured from his entire body.

The split between the dirt began to close, it closed quickly but Lachlan was able to swiftly create a barrier around him. He made sure to not miss a single spot as he covered his body in compacted ice.

On top, Alfredo had collapsed from exhaustion. 'Well I'll be damned, I didn't expect to be done in so badly by a damn mortal. Ha, suppose that vessel is going to be close to perfection for that one's strength'

Alfredo lost consciousness for a mere moment, but that mere moment was just enough for the other soul inside the body to release itself. Alfredo's black eyes began to brighten as the darkness returned to his pupils.

"Lachlan!" Alfredo swiftly pulled apart the dirt but the remaining strength just wasn't enough to completely free Lachlan. He began to control the vine wrapped around Lachlan's leg and got it to untangle itself. It began climbing up the chasm with Lachlan's body with it, digging apart the dirt with great difficulty as it was almost stone at the level they were at.

When Lachlan got out from there he noticed Alfredo had returned to his normal self. He shattered the ice surrounding him and looked at the situation closely.

Alfredo sighed deeply at Lachlan's caution, he looked around at the laboratory, the bodies of his researchers that have had their skulls broken into the ground. While the others had scorch marks across their body. Some were still breathing, only ever so faintly.

"Lachlan, I don't know how long I'll be able to hold it back so you're going to have to do me a favour," Alfredo clenched onto his arm, the pain from having it cut off just processed in his brain. "I'm going to need you to kill me right now, don't hesitate, don't ask questions. Just kill me while I still have the ability to fight for control."

"We don't need to do that, we can just bring you back to the glass box," Lachlan explained desperately. He had just found someone else like him, he didn't want to see him go so soon. Not when he hasn't actually found out everything he wants to know.

"No!" Alfredo shouted. "I just want to get this over with, I don't want to remain a threat to humanity, I don't want to hurt so many people. And more then ever, I don't want that thing to ever take full control over my body."

Lachlan clenched his fist as he hesitated, but after taking a deep breath he understood what Alfredo was going through. He was scared, completely terrified at what the other half could do should it not be stopped.

"Okay," Lachlan appeared next to Alfredo, his ice hand had changed shape to form a thin blade. "But before that, I want to know one more thing, what will the next tame unlock."

"You'll gain the ability to see every beasts' upgrade paths, getting a beast from normal to good will be as simple as cooking. Now hurry! I can't hold on much longer!" Alfredo shouted with desperation.

Lachlan's hand slashed downwards, it cut through Alfredo's neck like nothing was there, he hadn't put up any resistance, no barriers, just skin and bone. The head dropped to the floor, both gravity stones were still activated.

Lachlan reached to the side and picked up the medium-ranked gravity stone. He swiftly deactivated it before putting it back in his pocket. He held his head high, but his fists were clenched tightly from disappointment. He still had many unanswered questions.

He let out a deep breath before holding his path wide, facing Alfredo's corpse. 'I can't let Alfredo's efforts go to waste, I won't take any chances."

A trail of flames flew out of Lachlan's hands, they encased Alfredo's body and burnt it completely to ash. This time there was no maniacal laugh to follow right after, just silence.

"Lachlan!" Phoebe suddenly appeared from the elevator shaft, the door had been ripped open and the whole group was there. Phoebe ran up to Lachlan and wrapped her arms around her, her breathing erratic as her heartbeat was pacing. "Why didn't you inform us, we could have helped."

"Sigh, if only I had the time to inform you all. Unfortunately, time really was of the essence," Lachlan explained as he hugged back. "I'm sorry I made you worry so much, there just wasn't much I could do. But considering you're all here now I suppose that means you heard the explosion."

"Big Brother! Your arm! What happened to it?" Sarah appeared from behind the ground and ran up to Lachlan. She held onto Lachlan's arm of ice, it was completely transparent yet it functioned completely normal.

The rest of the group finally noticed it as well. From the way Lachlan angled himself it was hard to see. They all ran up to take a look, some of them were amazed by Lachlan's idea while others were worried about Lachlan's health.

"Something I learnt from Alfredo's other half," Lachlan chuckled as he held up his hand, clenching it and moving his fingers around for all the see. "Granted it might take a little while to get used to it."

"Why don't you just use the bananas?" Phoebe asked worriedly as she held onto the hand. "It just might be able to heal it up completely, at the very least it should make it better."

"I suppose I could, but that would be using a life-saving trump card when my life isn't in danger. I would rather use it when I really need to use it. As for now, I can use it perfectly fine how it is. Not to mention I did freeze it not too long after it was wounded so I might just be able to stitch it back on," Lachlan explained. "Of course I don't expect it to work the same after that, but I now have a nice trick to make it work much better."

The ice around his arm changed shape into an axe head before changing into a sword and finally returning to its original shape. "See, it's like I've grown a shapeshifting arm."

Phoebe chuckled slightly. "I really don't know what I should do with you. At the very least you have to promise me to get it stitched up."

"Alright, alright, I can at least promise that much," Lachlan said. He reached out with his other hand and rubbed Sarah's hair. "As for you, we still got a town to explore now don't we?"
