IMUC-CHAPTER 68 – KYLE VS LOGAN

Under the dawn's first light, on the rooftop of a skyscraper.

A young man dressed in a black combat uniform faced off against a rugged-looking middle-aged man with a bare, muscular upper body. The two of them stood five meters apart, in a heavy and tense atmosphere. They were ready to engage in a deadly battle at any moment.

Kyle, a decorated General clad in a combat uniform adorned with the insignia of the U.S Army, symbolized strength and power. He was a war hero, a slaughter machine, and a demon butcher on the battlefield.

Logan, the Wolverine of this world, had experienced countless dangers and enemies throughout his life as a lone wolf. Ever since his genes mutated, granting him the Wolverine Gene and Healing Factor, he had been destined to live through the chaos of different eras of war.

When these two individuals, each exuding an aura of death, faced off, even the air on the rooftop seemed to be filled with a faint scent of blood and a chilling aura of slaughter.

Was it really necessary to come to this point in order to obtain the Healing Factor card?

Kyle clenched his fists and every muscle in his body became tense. Facing such a formidable opponent as Wolverine, he felt a mix of fear and excitement in his heart.

With his left hand gripping the hilt of a slender and sharp Carbonadium Sword concealed behind his back, Kyle knew that this opportunity must not be missed. Although it would be safer to end the battle and have the military assist in capturing Logan, there was a high chance that he would escape and go into hiding elsewhere in the world.

With the rare opportunity to obtain an Ability Card within reach, there was no reason to retreat out of fear of the risks of battle.

Kyle firmly believed in this and his eyes shone with an unprecedented determination. He tightly held the single-handed sword in his left hand and clenched his right hand, adorned with the Vibranium Bracer.

"Come on!" Logan growled while crossing his wolf-like claws in front of him. His body hair was bristling, revealing his natural keenness, inherited from a beast or wild animal. He knew that the young man before him was extremely dangerous!

Even after living for half a century, he had encountered only one or two opponents as strong as this.

In an instant, both of them exploded with energy and charged toward each other. Both excelled in offensive combat, and neither would give the other an advantage.

Within the span of a blink of an eye, the two figures collided at lightning speed. Logan's claws clashed with the Vibranium Bracer on Kyle's right arm, and the wolf-like bone claws were slightly weakened upon impact.

A flash of surprise flickered in Logan's eyes, but he quickly used his skill to flip his claws and swiped at Kyle's body, narrowly missing the Vibranium Bracer as he aimed for his chest.

Kyle quickly reacted and blocked the three claw strikes that were aimed at his chest with his sword, narrowly intercepting them. Following that, the Carbonadium Sword and the wolf-like claws clashed in mid-air, creating a series of crisp and sharp sounds.

The intensity of their battle continued to escalate while sweat poured down their bodies, and the rooftop floor was marked with long and thin sword and claw marks.

According to common sense, with Logan's expertise in over a hundred fighting skills, Kyle's overall enhancement as a Super Soldier wouldn't be enough to bridge the gap, and he would soon find himself at a disadvantage.

However, thanks to the all-encompassing enhancements provided by the Venom Battlesuit, coupled with the Vibranium Bracer's ability to counter Logan's aggressive claws, the fierce battle was transformed into a prolonged stalemate.

This was the exact situation Kyle had hoped for!

Fortunately, in this stage of the world, Logan's claws and skeletal structure hadn't fused with Adamantium yet. Otherwise, the Vibranium Bracer wouldn't have provided any advantage at all.

At this moment, the conditions were met not only within a one-meter range but even within half a meter…

Kyle held his breath and fully exerted his strength in his struggle against Logan. Meanwhile, he focused a fraction of his mind on the Ability Card attached to Logan's body.

At this moment, he had no intention of extracting the Healing Factor Blue Ability Card. It would take half an hour of uninterrupted extraction within a one-meter range, which was impossible in the current battle. Therefore, he decided to start with Rare Green Ability Cards related to combat skills, which could gradually compensate for the difference in their battle technique.

[True Combat Warfare Mastery]:

Perfect mastery of a highly combative fighting skill. Rare Green Ability Card.

[True·Ancient Martial Combat Mastery]:

Perfect mastery of an ancient and primal fighting skill. Rare Green Ability Card.

…

Each Card Extraction only required three minutes, and only the Rare Green prefix in the fighting skill category could give Kyle a noticeable improvement in his own technique!

"Step, step, step, Pū——"

On the rooftop terrace, Kyle and Logan were locked in a deadly battle, their sword strikes and claws capable of taking each other's lives, yet skillfully evaded by the other.

This was the true essence of a clash between masters of fighting skills— reading and countering each move, seamlessly integrating combat into their bodies.

With both of them surpassing ordinary humans in physique, dust filled the air as their figures continuously engaged in close-quarters combat. The rooftop seemed on the verge of collapse.

After more than ten minutes of continuous battle, when both sides began to tire, it was the moment when the outcome was most likely to be determined…

Three claws whistled through the air, splattering droplets of blood, forcing a dark figure to retreat a few steps. Logan's face flushed while his eyes filled with bloodlust and his wolf-like claws were covered in crimson blood.

Facing him, Kyle gasped for breath, his right hand clutching his chest. Even the Venom Battlesuit had been torn open smoothly, revealing three deep claw marks on his chest.

"Sorry, even though we're allies, now that you know the secret on my body, you must die here," Logan said coldly as he looked at the tired and injured Kyle. After this brief pause in the battle, his rapid breaths began to calm down.

"Healing Factor, it really made the difference here," Kyle sighed helplessly, having anticipated this situation long ago.

Indeed, the technique had been somewhat compensated for during the course of the battle through the extraction of Ability Cards. But when it came to a prolonged fight against Logan with the Wolverine Gene and Healing Factor, even the Super Soldier's extraordinary endurance wouldn't hold up!

"It's all over now," Logan said as he step forward with his blood-dripping wolf-like claws.

"Is it over? Then let's give it a try!" Kyle took a deep breath after he spoke and disregarded his severe injuries. He lifted his sword and took the initiative to charge at Logan as if making a final resistance.

Even before the battle began, he had imagined this fight dozens of times in his mind. He was well aware of the most crucial card he possessed, the only card that could defeat Logan's infinite healing ability—

The Carbonadium Sword in his left hand, is capable of suppressing the Wolverine Gene's Healing Factor!

During the intense battle of the past ten minutes, Kyle had consistently used the Carbonadium Sword to block the claws, while launching attacks with his right hand's Vibranium Bracer. He had never actively left a single wound on Logan's body with the sword, making him unaware of its existence until this moment!

The moment of a final decisive strike!
