"What are you trying to do Holmes? A cheap circus trick?" The man shouted with a grin as he waved his hand over and over.
Adryan's pupils shrank.
While the wind blades were invisible their spirituality was not!
So moving side to side as he moved the fireballs, he was dodging all the cuts that were leaving deep gashes in the street and walls.
Smiling under his mask, he reached out his hand and clenched his fist in the direction of Qilangos.
The first two fireballs in front of him exploded into small blades that rushed toward the Pirate rapidly.
Snarling, Qilangos swung his hand again as he jumped backward. A wave of wind sent the fiery blades crashing into the walls igniting them into flames.
'I have to finish this quickly.' Qilangos thought in annoyance as he suddenly lunged towards Adryan.
It shouldn't take much longer for the church forces to arrive if this extended any further escape would be impossible!
His body was enveloped in thicker water as his speed increased thanks to the wind.
"You plan on crashing into the fireballs huh? Sorry, but that's not going to work!" Adryan provoked immediately understanding the pirate's idea.
When the pirate was halfway through, Adryan clenched his fist and pushed.
'Again you plan to use the same trick? Idiot!' Qilangos thought arrogantly as he prepared to deflect the incoming blades...
But they never came.
His green eyes widened in shock as he saw the remaining fireballs combine into two huge fireballs just as big as him but it didn't stop there!
The fireballs suddenly turned into huge Fire Wolves!
"YOU LIKE MY NEW TRICK BITCH?" Adryan shouted with a crazy grin under his mask.
The fire wolves roared and rushed with ridiculous speed towards Qilangos who immediately launched a slashing attack towards the wolves splitting them in half!
But to his shock and unlike the previous attacks, the wolves that were split in half came back together and continued their onslaught!
He immediately tried to stop and jump back to gain distance but instead, his body kept moving forward and the wolves were already upon him!
The realization hit him at the same time as the fangs of the wolves sank into his arms and legs burning them even more.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhh" Screaming in pain and agony as he felt his flesh being bitten as well as burned, Qilangos concentrated a powerful push of wind that sent the wolves flying backwards and they vanished as they hit the wall.
'Holmes is not alone! There's someone else here!' Realizing that, any thought of completing his mission left his head and he tried to run away but his path was blocked by Holmes who stood in front of him, and with his sword he slashed his chest again.
"Don't let your guard down bitch! I'm still here!" Adryan roared in Qilangos' face as he tried to thrust the sword but Qilangos stopped it using his arm as a shield, the sword only could penetrate till the bone...
Grunting in pain, Qilangos glared at the man and with the same push he used before, sent the man flying.
Spinning in the air, Adryan landed on his feet and stabbing his sword into the ground stopped his movement and ran back towards Qilangos.
"Come here bitch!"
Qilangos looked with uncontained anger at the masked man and turned to flee but instead of running forward he turned and ran towards Adryan.
'Not again!' The man thought furiously but this time instead of using a push to move Adryan away he used a wind slash.
Because of how close they were, Adryan couldn't dodge it and the slash hit him squarely in the chest cutting him in half.
But again no blood came out and the red-haired man's body thinned and turned into paper.
Reappearing a few meters away. Adryan breathed extremely agitated, under his mask his face was completely covered with sweat and he could hear distant ravings.
'That was my last Paper Figurine Substited...' Adryan thought extremely exhausted. The previous Paper Figurine Substited had already taken a good part of his spirituality and the Fire Wolves took a lot more.
Catching his breath, Adryan ran back to Qilangos who was now having difficulty running but could still fight well.
Proof of that was the new slashes the man threw furiously.
'From the way I feel and the ravings I can tell that my spirituality is at most at 7 percent...'
Thought the red-haired man, dodging the slashes but due to how exhausted he was, some were grazing him. Tearing his clothes.
One even grazed his face slightly breaking his mask.
But with his sharp eyes, he knew the opportunity to end this was near.
At any moment the red zone would appear. And with Qilangos' state, he would not be able to block the attack.
'And I wouldn't be able to resist one of his either...' He thought severely agitated.
Despite his serious injuries. Qilangos still had the strength to fight, so if Adryan took a hit it would be very bad for him.
He had to cut off the supply to Tauk Millennium so his body was no longer as resilient as before.
Whatever was left of his spirituality he was saving it for when the red zone appeared!
At that instant...
He saw it!
After so much effort it appeared. On Qilangos' left shoulder, the red zone glowed.
With a final lunge of power, he shouted into the air.
"Now!"
After saying that he didn't waste a second and made a Flaming Jump and jumped out of the flames less than a meter away from the man!
Qilangos saw this and turning around, he prepared to throw a slash, due to his injuries the move took longer than expected but it didn't matter, the redhead wouldn't touch him before he completed it.
For Adryan to reach him would take 2 seconds, and for him to finish the cut only 1.5... Adryan only needed 1.
Extending his left hand towards him as he lunged towards him and his right hand burst into flames, Adryan shouted one word in Ancient Hermes.
"Steal!"
Just as he finished the move, Qilangos felt it. His wind slash had been stolen!
Regardless, he prepared to push the man with a wind push but a sudden electric current blocked him instead!
Qilangos watched in terror at this helplessly because of the sudden paralysis!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
After 1.5 seconds, Adryan arrived in front of Qilangos and with a loud shout!
His fist of fire hit the red zone!
"..."
Unlike before, his punches had done almost no damage to the man but this punch... To say the least...
It completely exploded Qilangos' shoulder!
It was a critical hit!
The instant the blow hit, Adryan could feel it, the last of his Pyromaniac potion was completely digested!
Instantly he could feel his spirituality fill up immediately!
His reserves larger than before!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHG" Qilangos screamed in agony as what was left of his left arm fell to the ground.
Gritting his teeth in anger and hatred, the man threw a mighty fist with his remaining hand towards the man's face.
"Light!" a male voice shouted in Ancient Hermes and a blinding golden light appeared in front of Qilangos who with no other choice closed his eyes and his fist missed the man's face but grazed it.
The part of the mask that didn't break exploded.
Half of Adryan's mask exploded.
Grunting at this, the red-haired man tried to finish the fight by trying to stab Qilangos in the head with a fire dagger but a push of air sent him flying.
Turning around, the pirate tried to run away but he barely managed to move a few meters before a large group of 6 people appeared in front of him.
Adryan looked at this and, clicking his tongue, tried to go the other way but another group of people appeared blocking his path.
Looking both ways, he just sighed and shook his head.
"They came faster than I thought."
"I told you..." Flora's weak voice said, having stolen a Sequence 6 ability exhausted her greatly and she could barely stay conscious.
Blocking both exits, the Nighthawks and the Machinery Hivemind had arrived.
'And my mask just broke... Great.' The redhead thought with a sigh as he found a familiar face in the Nighthawks.
So with a smile, he saluted.
"Yo! Mr. Watson! Long time no see!"
