Chương 29: An old enemy
Max was slowly gathering a ball of electricity into his hands, which enclosed a metal ball, as he jumped across the trees at breakneck speeds.
Max felt a bit panicked for a reason, but he did not know the reason, so he planned to attack from afar.
"From the reports that were retrieved about the undead, they are also weak against electricity-like attacks. Which is in line with the web novels, I read in my past life."
Max smiled at the thought and found a vantage point.
"I just have to wait for the entire team to get into position. Although, I still feel somewhat… uneasy!"
After a few seconds, everyone was in position. Max smiled and the light in his hands brightened up in sparks. Lighting arcs brightened up his hands as he concentrated.
A gravitational force from Garrett, acted on the undead squad, rooting them on the ground, at the same time Max fired the metal. It released a burst of light and electricity. The recoil caused the surface that Max stood on to shatter.
Shing!
It crossed the air, causing leaves to shake in its wake as it left a beautiful light trail on its path. Soon, the metal impacted a large skeleton on the head, destroying its skull leaving a trail of burnt bones, staining the ground with ashes and lightning .
Max then stretched his hands and controlled the lightning trail to move with a slicing sound. The light cut through the undead, leaving behind a heated injury in its path and melting the surrounding vegetation.
The attack killed most of them, but they were still a select few left.
A cloaked figure walked in the direction that Max was. It then slowly got into a full-blown sprint, going from two-legged to all fours in an animalistic form. Max then made another electromagnetic sphere and shot it at the figure.
The figure reacted and caught it with its… claws with a clank! It then smiled, but a giant boulder flew from the figures' right, releasing a booming sound as it blew them away.
The hooded figure stabilized themselves with their claw by digging it into the ground, but the hood feel off, and revealed a wolflike figure with a grin… it was, Lance
Lance Volvos

Garrett could be seen stretching his hands to Max's location.
"Nice assist," said Eric, witnessing the man's skill.
Garrett nodded and looked around the forest, his eyes slowly widening as he pulled out a shield from his spatial bag.
"I've never seen you u- " said Eric before Garrett appeared next to him with a shield and blocked what seemed to be… Webs!?

Enora and Krista watched in fear as a woman in light armor appeared In Front of them.
Her beautiful face showed a devious smile. She looked at the duo with a threatening gaze.
Her purple hair flowed in the breeze, creating an almost regal atmosphere around her.
"My name is... Xena Teresi. I will be the one to take your life, so please... I urge you not to resist," said Xena with authority. She then walked to them, and a bloody mist started forming all around her.

Max watched the hood fall... he was in a rage! He used a lightning blast on the soles of his foot and flew toward the figure.
Max blasted through the forest, leaving cones of air in his wake. lightning trails appearing in his path.
Lance saw Max and dove forward, using the trees as stepping stones destroying them with the force of his legs, moving faster and causing countless afterimages to appear in his wake!
Max drew out two Desert Eagle and Lance sprouted out claws. Time seemed to pause as the two met in the air.
Max raised his guns and aimed at Lance's head, his eyes locked and ready.
Lance's claws shone brightly, as he had a smile on his face while going for Max's throat.
They stared into each other's eyes with vengeful emotions as they both went straight for the kill.
"I will kill him," they both thought, as time stood still.

Max then flew back, which caused Lance's claws to miss with a swish sound.
In the air, Max stared down with menacing Intent, with his guns locked and aimed at Lance, as a dangerous aura permeated the forest.
"Suffer,"
Bang! Bang!
Two blood holes appeared where Lance's eyes were supposed to be, making Lance release an animalistic scream, then both Max and Lance fell to the forest floor, the ground creaking from the impact.
Lance rolled on the ground, with his eyes healing from the damage. He was in so much pain. Soon, two metal objects fell off the empty sockets.
Max took advantage of the shock of landing, aiming in both rage and determination at Lance's skull, but had to dodge as massive claw marks appeared where he stood upon. He barely dodged the ranged attack, but his heart was unnaturally calm, albeit still in unholy rage.
"You bastard!" said Lance with one of his hand outstretched, his other hands holding his injured location. "I'll kill you!"
"His claws can reach me from that distance! A bit like an energy attack", thought Max, dodging more claw lights and flashing through the forest. Many trees fell as the two chased each other. "I will have to close the distance to conserve stamina, this weakling can't be the only enemy!"
"Isn't this just like old times, Max?" said Lance with his eyes now fully healed, Lance then on all fours with a manic grin and dashed. His force cracked the floor on impact. "Isn't this just like back then! When I almost… killed you!!"
Max unequipped one of his guns and pulled out a Katana as he turned while cutting left. The air made a swish sound as the blade cut through.
*Clang*
Claw and blade clashed, sending a stream of blade-like white energy stream, that cut the surrounding vegetation in halves. However, this did not concern both Max and Lance as they stared into each other's eyes.
"I will skin you and hang your skin as a trophy! A fitting end for monster, in human skin! Don't you agree, beast!?" said Max, his tone dripping with killing intent. Lighting them surged from under his feet. He thrust up and delivered a kick to Lance's face.
With a crunching noise, Lance stumbled backward while clutching his bloody nose. His feet skidded, but he stabilized himself.
Max took a deep breath while clenching his Katana and a gun. Raising his hands, he accurately shot a couple of bullets at Lance, aiming at his heart.
Bang! bang!
Lance jumped from his spot, narrowly dodging the projectiles. However, his face was not looking pleased.
"I am being suppressed?" Lance thought, his fist closing as he grit his teeth.
"No way! I am stronger than him!"
Bang! Bang!
Lance bent his knees and sprinted to Max. He moved left and right, dodging the bullets in strides. "I am better!"
Max frowned. He then brought out a couple of grenades (modified by magic, to act like a heat sensor from) from his inventory ring and threw them Omni-directionally with a fanciful flick. The grenades bounced around the forest, making clicking noises while forming a sort of cage around the two foes.
Click! Click! Click!
Lance stopped in caution, but as he did, a grenade suddenly came from his sides.
Bang!
The explosion knocked Lance back, his body rolling through the grass, with dirt staining his face.
A concussion filled Lance's mind, as he tried to get over the ringing in his ears, the blood that now stained his eyes, and the bones that stabbed into his lungs.
Ringgg!
"What was that?"
He did not have time to think as he another grenade flew at him. With some clarity, he dodged it, but the shrapnel got into his arms, digging into his skin.
He let out a beastly scream as he held the bloody stump.
"itt hurts!!"
Boom!
Lance quickly rolled out of the way when more grenades went off around him.
"Damn it!" He was getting tired. The pain in his arm slowly faded. He couldn't quit yet! he needed to fight to the last breath! He will kill that Elliot today.
Lance ran and leapt, with his hands outstretched, going toward Max as they both face each other once more. However, Max simply stared at him with a devious grin as he pointed at him with his index finger. "Checkmate!"
Boom!
Between Lance and Max were multiple explosives, predicted to land on this exact spot when Lance made his choice.
The grenades exploded, sending debris and dust across the land. The force sent Max away, causing him to glide helplessly through the dirt before eventually come to a stop by his efforts.
Amidst the smoke, he stood up and picked up his weapons from the ground and was in an alert stance. After noticing, that nothing was happening.
Max's shoulders dropped, sweating from the intense battle, with his back slightly drenched in it.
He wanted to go check the body, but stopped. His face morphed his disbelief in seeing the figure still standing the smoke and looking with eyes of pure 'evil'
Soon, Lance's figure could be seen laughing manically, and this time, he was in his cursed form
The Legendary curse
