Battle To Death

Several energy balls headed towards him which he evaded. Another set were sent after him, he avoided the glowing balls coming towards him and made a small fire ball which he hurled at Ezekiel.

"If I can't run, I might as well fight with everything." Accessing his system inventory, a sword appeared before him. A long katana blade with golden hilt. Drawing out the blade, one would be able to see the swirling patterns on the blade.

"What is this?" he could feel a warm energy coalescing his body. Breathing deeply with his eyes closed he readied himself.

"Your sword formation is quite powerful, but you aren't making full use of it. There's more to it than that. Also, I noticed you don't make use of your wind ability that much. Having two different abilities gives you an advantage in battle."

He remembered the pointers given to him by Issaiah as he inhaled deeply. His eyes shot opened instantly. "Its time!"

Running forward flames erupted from his feet with the wind swirling behind him. With a push of the wind, the flames increased along with his speed as he charged forward.

"First formation of the heaven-defying technique! Flowing force!" He swung his sword forward and right before him Ezekiel had made a sword from his energy and swung it forward.

Both clashed with Ezekiel blade getting destroyed. Will struck upwards but met with a raised elbow with energy around the area.

They both exchanged clashes before jumping backwards. Just a minute had passed but both had exchanged various attacks. Will attack had become stronger with each strike yet was still barely holding on.

[ 14/160hp ]

Huff, huff, huff. "This guy is just like issaiah. Comparing them in terms of strength I think he's stronger than Issaiah."

Clutching his chest, he tried calming his aching heart. The added strength from the technique has stopped. "I would need to activate it again."

Ezekiel was the one to first charge forward, his figure covered in a radiant glow. "Its time to get serious, with the destruction each minutes, it won't be long before these beasts get here and interrupt us."

A longsword appeared before him, one not lacking in strength to Will's own. He swung forward and a ripple of energy could be seen flowing along. Will was quick in the uptake blocking with his sword, but was pushed back.

With each strike of his sword Will was getting overwhelmed. His sword skills were at a higher level compare to Will as he obtained more slash by the second.

Trying to break free, he swung his legs which was covered in flames. A wave of flame shot out disrupting his attack. "First stage of the heaven-defying technique! Flowing force!" He muttered as he charged forward their sword clashing head on. With each strike, Will's attack got stronger.

Ezekiel swung his sword which emitted a bright radiant glow towards Will. Blood sprayed from the slash, with the weight of the attack pushing him backwards.

Ezekiel body moved forward streaking across the area. Each swing of his sword led to a cut across his body.

[ 4/160hp ]

His vision was getting blurry already from the intense battle. Ezekiel lunged forward initiating a thrust.

"Will!" A voice pierce through the chaos, with a figure stumbling forward. Belle couldn't take it anymore as she let out a loud shilling scream. Standing before her, Will was barely standing with a sword deep in his chest.

Pulling it out, Ezekiel swung his sword once more, slashing at his neck.

Will had managed to raise his fist blocking the attack with his hand. His left hand had been cut off with it sliding down. A kick was thrown hitting him on his chest and sending him hurling backward.

Belle was covered in flames as she charged forward but stumbled across with blood escaping her mouth.

After a long sigh, Ezekiel muttered, "this is bad. What the hell is that guy doing, isn't he supposed to hold them back. Now I'm feeling a little bad all of a sudden."

"Will!" Belle's voice echoed across once again as she staggered forward, little steps turning to a sprint.

"I guess I can't allow any witness. You could have just stay down, now I would have to kill you!" He exclaimed as he charged forward.

"What is this I'm feeling, why this rage building up instantly. No, they got hurt all because of me. To think I was strong... but getting messed with..." shaking his head he looked at Belle charging forward.

"What are you doing?! Get back!" He tried shouting out but his weak body said otherwise. Hearing Ezekiel statement before charging forward something had snapped in his head, with his eyes turning a deep shade of dark blue.

"System! Isn't there anything you can do. Please... anything!"

[ Analysing host situation... negative... nothing could be done in this case ]

"F*ck! F*ck my life. All I ever wanted was a peaceful live, why? Why won't there let me be?! Everywhere I go..."

[ Host rage his building up... something deep is stirring within host ]

[ Warning, host would be subjected to extreme effects after use ]

[ Do host wish to activate skill? ]

[ Yes/No ]

"Yes!" Will didn't care, the decision had already been made and all these was just wasting his limited time.

[ Overdrive have been activated, host will receive a boost up immediately ]

[ Countdown: 5minutes ]

"A countdown! I don't need to ask to know what that means, but that time will be enough."

With his body getting filled with energy he charged forward as his aura surged wildly. All these had happened within a second, and Ezekiel was just a few minutes away from Belle.

"This won't do," he thought. Activate [ Dash Skill ].

[ Warning! Host body might not be able to contain all power ]

"Shut the f*ck and activate the damn skill!" Kicking off the ground, stones and debris shot off spreading across the area. "Don't f*cking touch her!"

Clenching his fist, he punched out with all his might. He didn't hold back as the punch travelled the air, hitting its target.

"Huh?" For once Ezekiel had sensed a slight danger. Turning backwards, he raised his hand blocking the punch heading his way.

"Where did he get all these strength from?" He thought, his body travelling through the forest leaving destruction in its wake. For the first time, he had been hurt. 'For a long time now, when was it, I can't fully remember,' cleaning the blood off the corner of his lips he stood off the ground. "Let's see, how these goes... at least I get to have some fun."

"Go!" Will pleaded with Belle standing before her. "I would be fine, go and help Dren, seeing you this way, I can't help but be worried about him. Trust me... I would be fine," he said with a weak smile.

"This is truly amazing, although supposed to be expected from one of the heirs of Ashton. I was quite disappointed, but now, seeing you with this fierce aura, I can't help but be excited."

"Go now!" Will said one last time before he charged forward. Ezekiel had also made his move as both charge towards eachother ready for a second round.
