"Push you?" I said as I allowed my power to flow to its maxim
I hadn't felt confident in killing Brian, I planned on using a few tricks to beat him and take some risk. But with my major breakthrough in the Way of The Sword. The fight will be much more winnable as the odds weren't looking quite good before.
"Ice Zephyr's wind," Brian yelled out, as around us came an icy wind; it was all-encompassing and created a frozen hell.
"These ice powers, what are you? You can't possibly do so with your level of power." I teased, as I analyzed the magic structures being created by his icy energy
Brian's eyes flashed with killing intent from my teasing, he seemed to be on edge. I activated the runic pattern on my sword and swung my sword at the incoming icy wind. The sword shined with maleficent devilish qi that made the icicles weaker and easily break as they approached me.
"What is that power?" Brian asked as he changed his fighting style
"Icicle storm," Brian muttered as the Ice Zephyr's winds compressed into icicles, that levitated in the sky. First it was 1 then 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and finally 64 icicles
"Try this out." Brian teased pridefully as the directed all the strikes at me using telekinesis.
"Hmph, if this is all then you'll die rather quick." I teased as I took two sabers from my bag of holding. The two sabers flew into the sky as two resplendent sword lights.
One was shined with intense lightning runes as it flashed at Brian. The other was an infinity serpent that usurped the will of the world!
I shot the swords at Brian's throat as my devilish gaze landed on his body. Brian felt a sudden drop in his magic power and agility as the swords flew at his throat.
"Shadow Sword" I uttered as a black longsword manifested in front of me. It pulsated with intense shadow force and created a black hole of magical energy, it consumed everything in its path. The icicles would easily be consumed, destroying them entirely.
Brian raised a massive ice shield as the swords flew at his throat and the shield was instantly shattered. But Brian continued to reinforce with more ice seeing it had become a war of attrition, I sent my shadow sword to reinforce the attack.
Brian's ice guard quickly crumbled and the swords slashed his chest as he was forced back. Sensing an uncertain danger, I quickly called back my sabers as the circled in the sky a little bit above my head.
Over my head was a black longsword, two sabers circling around it, and the void sword in my hand. I looked at Brian as his ice shield fell apart due to his weakened state. His chest was bloody, and he was on one knee. He was breathing deeply as the cold air was forcibly expelled from his breath.
"Do you not even care about the school? They will know from the medallion if you kill me." Brian said as he tried to recuperate
"Oh, this?" I said as I took the medallion from my bag of holding. The number of sword marks was absolutely stunning, as well as the various authorizations. Even Brian looked surprised when he saw what I had on my medallion.
I smirked as Brian looked comforted for a moment, and then I threw the medallion right above me. As it reached the peak of its orbit, my black longsword flew into it and cut it into pieces. The pieces were then crushed to dust by the Kirin sword. Brian's face quickly darkened as he realized my intentions.
"The school has served its purpose and same with you. Anything else you'd like to try?" I asked teasingly as Brian reluctantly took out a gem from his bag of holding.
"Lucas, remember you were the one that forced me!" Brian said as he crushed the gem, from it, came to a light green energy. It held immense vitality, as though it were a beating heart. The essence floated around Brian, and then he opened his mouth and sucked in the essence.
I activated my magic eyes and observed the movement of the magic energy. Then I realized something interesting, it took the same exact pathways as my magic power when it first activated.
Magic power, sword intent, shadow force, and spatial energy all had different paths of revolution. Thought they coincide in some places they are fundamentally different. Same with elemental powers, because if they meet too much they would conflict.
So if his power is doing that, then it must be similar to my own. As I was analyzing, Brian's ears grew they elongated and grew sharp. On his face were marks that resembled the elemental markings I had. His eyes started to even glow but this was a green glow and not violet. The green glow created a runic pattern in his eyes, and his hair grew longer and luscious as they turned blonde.
"What a development, it seems you are an Elf. That explains that magic reserve, I just can't believe it. It was just a guess, yet it seems I am not the only experimental subject." I said in an excited tone, this was the perfect kind of data for me.
"So that is your origin; you scum," Brian said as his robes fixed themselves, the blood quickly disappeared along with his wounds.
"I will make sure to inform Dante of these transgressions," Brian said as he raised a single finger and sent an ice beam at me.
The ice beam seemed like it was nothing much, but in it was a concentrated sub-zero power. Before I could dodge it struck at my thigh, I could feel my cells die instantly. I couldn't even feel my nerves the moment it struck.
"Point of Zero," Brian said with a smirk, I didn't show any signs of pain. I quickly activated my shadow intent's devouring and consumed the magic power around me. The air, ground, and even the snow and dying cells became my sustenance. Then I directed that energy to the recovery of my thigh. It was only moments before the single point attack was fully healed.
"I will be sure to get that technique from you before you die." Brian teased.
"Less talk," I said as I directed my sabers at him with telekinesis. My longsword levitated over my head pulsating shadow force. Then I burst into full speed using my full stats and telekinesis. I was moving at almost Mach 2 at this point.
I was nothing but afterimages, as I dodged around Brian's barrage of ice beams.
"Is all you can do run?" He teased as he concentrated a few beams of energy into his palm.
"Absolute Area of Zero," Brian uttered as he directed the frozen energy outside of him, freezing everything within ten meters. I entered the field, and at my high speed and with my shadow sword. I shook off the frozen power and approached Brian with a single slash in mind.
"Die!!!!!" I said as I stabbed at his chest, intent on ripping him apart from the inside.
Brian created a single point shield that blocked my sword. Then he let his ice energy loose as it started to freeze my sword tip and moving along my sword tip.
"Devour!" I fully activated my magic devouring, but Brian dodged back as he had seen the attack coming.
"With my magic eyes and range superiority; you are destined to fail," Brian said as he laughed maniacally.
"Oh, you think you are the only one capable of controlling distance?" I said as I activated my magic acceleration at full power, I had restricted it so that I could gain some good battle experience and learn a bit about elves from combat.
'"Enough playing around!" From my body burst a massive amount of magic energy, which became a shadowy aura on my body. That aura fused with the space around it and became a terrifying shadow force.
"Bloodline Genesis," I yelled out to the heavens with a draconic roar, in my status bar flawless physique quickly revolved. At the peak of its revolution, it shattered and its place came Draconification!
My skin became scaly, along with my right arm wielding my void sword. My bloodline metamorphosed as the hidden vitality of my cells accelerated my transformation.
In moments my entire right arm had turned into a black scaled claw and arm. Along the black lustrous scales appeared runes of power. They created a matrix of runes, that had immense power drawn from my own vitality.
I could feel my inner vitality decline hugely, I only had one attempt, after this the consequences would be immense. I stared at Brian eyes bloody red, filled with intense malice and anger.
"Sword Heart- Battle form!" My Kirin sword dulled as the lightning runes flew off and merged into my body.
My legs started to crackle with intense lightning, and then the ouroboros sword dulled as well. The sword intent fused into my upper torso creating an immortal serpentine armor. My void sword dulled as my devil qi concentrated in my eyes as they gleamed with a devilish light, I had the gaze of a devil. I looked like an immortal god of war, ready to fight the gods!
I sheathed all my weapons as I raised my hand and grabbed the shadow longsword over my head. It seemed to fuse perfectly with me as I stared Brian down. I used the shadow force I absorbed from the minotaur to activate my bloodline! So now I radiated the aura and strength of a true dragon!
"You Will Die!" I proclaimed in a maniacal voice as I readied my final stance.
