Oliver's flash
Meanwhile, at the exact same time the bandit slice off Oliver clone head, Oliver opened his eyes at a distant place from the battle scene he was sitting cross leg
Its a the red lady had speculated, he made a clone of himself when he went out to gather woods. With his level of strength, making complex clone is hectic and could barely control the tactically
Thus he made a single clone of himself to be able to gain good amount of control, and everything had played out quite well as he presumed it to be
He stood up, dust his clothes as a burning trace of anger surge inside of him, he instinctive touched his neck as he recall how he had his head chopped off
He didn't see that guy move till her was right upon him, "seems like my level of speed, reflex a and reaction is still too slow for such situation.
I think it's time to be the fastest man alive, I'm going to pay that bastard for chopping off my head by destroying his camp"
His appearance changed to àn iconic red and gold suit, lightning symbols, and a mask that conceal his identity.
Oliver looked at his hands, felt his pulse and could feel the undeniable power. Clenching his fist, his muscles tensed and adrenaline coursing through his veins.
a crackling energy surrounds him, shimmering and warping the air around him. The ground beneath his feet ripples like water, as if unable to withstand the sheer force of his power.
With a sudden burst of speed, he takes off like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind a trail of electric blue sparks and a faint sonic boom that echoes through the air.
The world around him blurs into a dizzying whirlwind of motion that threatens to overwhelm the senses.
As he races through the woods, everything seems to slow down to a crawl, each passing moment crystallized in sharp detail.
He weaves effortlessly through woods, dodging obstacles with split-second precision and reacting with lightning-fast reflexes.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at his destination, skidding to a stop with a flourish of sparks and a cloud of dust. For a moment, he stands there, breathing heavily and savoring the rush of exhilaration that comes with tapping into the Speed Force.
It didn't take him long to find the bandit hideout with his break neck speed, a few of the bandit are on look out. He is sure he would have being spotted of his speed was good enough to leave a mirage that trick one perception of sight.
"Time to get busy" he charged into the camp, disappearing in a blur of motion, leaving nothing behind but the fading after image of his incredible speed.
Grunt of pain and tud sound follows every path he took a he knockout every single bandit he come across till he was at the heart of the camp
"Preposterous" a roaring voice cut in from one side, followed by a powerful gust of wind that threatened to cut through space
Oliver a fast as he is on speed force felt threatened, making a last minute maneuver that saved his life
The powerful gush destroy the tree on it trajectory for a long distance before coming to a stop
"You dare act smug because you got the gift of speed, how naive of you. There is a clear reason for the disparities of strength between each level
A weakling like you wouldn't hope to understand" a bulky figure with huge great sword worked out of the shadows with his sword resting on his shoulder
Oliver curse within himself, it's true both adept and gifted has a boast of physique along with their increase in rank
But he never expected his speed to be seen through by someone that easily, it made him recall a scene in the DC cinematic where superman trash the hell out of the justice league
So this is what it felt to be in his shoe back then, curse this damn restrictions on my ability.
Oliver wasn't in a mode for chit chat, this guy is pretty strong and cultivates a wind style technique. Probably the reason he could follow up with his speed
Oliver charge over, grabbing one of the swords lying one the floor as he faded over to the bulky guy, slashing at him.
Just as expected the guy was able to reach to his speed at the last minute, he is fast but the guy could tell where he is attacking from or what angle he is charging from
Not to mention he swing that heavy huge sword as if its a piece of wood, sparks and sound of metal fill the air as Oliver furiously charging in from every possible angle ookkg for an opening to exploit
Whirlwind form around this two as they locked on in and intense battle of speed, reflex, perception and all.
Growing bored of the hit and run tactics of Oliver, the bandit deflected another of Oliver's attacks while using the split second to stomp heavily on the floor
creating a blast of wind force that caught oliver unaware to react fast, his figure blast away.
Breaking through a few tree before due to his body speed, and following closely behind him is the bulky guy slashing is huge sword at him
He had no chance to maneuver mid air to evade that strike, at such he opt for a quick change as his appearance returned to normal
"Shadow clone jutsu" two clone of Oliver appeared in front of him, taking the brunt of that attack while he used the moment stun to escape
His figure landed a few distant away from the bulky bandit who had his huge sword buried more than half way into a huge tree
Oliver swallowed hard seeing this, at the same time he felt his head buzzing and his vision hazy for a split second after the last transformation
Ignoring those effects, he search for a character that could tip his odd against his opponent only for him to cough out a mouthful of blood
Almost slumping down that he didn't notice the bandit had pulled out his sword, charging at him.
By the time his vision cleared, a huge sword is just inch away from separating his head from his body but pulled back at the last second as a clang sound resound from beside him.
The bandit had pulled back at the last second but his attack had already been made, if not for the figure that appeared beside him
He sure would have been dead, he turned to see who it was and was shocked to see it's the guy from the mine
"Are you OK" his focus still locked on the bandit, afraid he might sneak an attack if he takes his eyes off him
"Yeah I'm good, thanks for the help" Oliver got back on his feet, a huge frown arc on his face
"Can you still fight" the man asked, he is a tier two adept just like the man before him but the other seems a bit stronger than him
"I still got some fight in me, can't tell if it would be of any help but I'll do my best" the man nodded
"Be careful, he is using a forbidden techniques known as seven acupuncture technique
It boasts one overall power to an unprecedented level as a cost of immerse energy consumption which would leave the body in a weakened state when its done"
"So that is it ehhn, no wonder he could follow up my speed too accurately aside the fact he is stronger than me" Oliver thought to himself
"Fools, you think you can take me on now just because there are two of you, dream on" he charged over, carrying a great gush of wind along with his movement.
Arriving before the two of them in a jiff, slashing his huge sword at them. The man from the mine aura took a drastic sharp change as his entire being was akin to a sharpen sword
He slashed back at the bandit, their sword colliding, sending a spark of energy around. Oliver didn't lag behind, he follow suit with a strike of his
Slashing at the bandit from the side but he was slower than the reaction of the bandit as he had used the momentum of his clash against the man from the mine to create a distance
Causing oliver to miss, slashing at thin air. "Cocky bastard, he is pretty fast" Oliver curse
"Sword qi ehnn, its being a while I saw someone focus on the ways of sword. Are you from the blade family or a student of them"
The bandit enquired as he recognized that aura oozing from the man in front of him, it bears the mark of one of the legendary adept of this world before the age of gifted took over.
"Seems like you are quiet informed can't help but say, i can tell your wind techniques has traces to this same origin
Should I can you martial brother then or a rogue to ashamed to hold the dynasty name of fallen hero"
"How dare you, I'll never abandoned my origin, we would still be one of the pinnacles of power if those damn gifted had just mind their business
Those bastard destroyed everything our ancestors had work so hard to build all in the name of maintaining the peace"
"You know this guy Granny" oliver dropped in, calling the man granny which got a twitching lip reaction from him
"You can say we got ties back to our root, but the all that connects us. I can't be acquainted with someone too blinded to embrace change.
His energy spike as that of the bandit too, those words seem to have hit a nerve because right now his aura is spilling all over the place in rage.
