015. Future Sight vs Future Sight

"Why are you wearing waitress clothes?" asked the white-haired man who suddenly stopped laughing. 

"Eh? This... This..." Alice's face flushed with embarrassment for a moment and then attacked the man. "This is none of your business! You gray-haired old man!"

The man jumped back while chuckling, "Haha, how rude. I have a name, young lady. My name is Skar."

"Shut up! I don't care about your name!" shouted Alice attacking once again with the help of her [ Absolute Foresight ]. 

Alice charged forward but every time she wanted to attack, Skar's future shadow changed position. The knight slashed into the wrong future as Skar managed to dodge and prepared to attack from the opposite direction.

Without reducing speed, Alice instantly forced her body to react in the opposite direction and tore some of her muscle fibers due to the unnatural acceleration.

*Trang! 

The sound of metal clashing, Skar jumped back and laughed. 

"Awesome! How did you do that? Amazing reflexes!" Skar shouted with joy then suddenly lowered her tone of voice, "Unfortunately if you were in top shape, you would have won."

The wound on Alice's abdomen got worse and her breathing started to become irregular. Blood was flowing even more from the attack she had just taken. Her face started became pale and she started to feel cold sweat. 

Alice took a deep breath and held her sword very tightly. She just stood still and exhaled slowly. Her gaze was very focused and she was very calm. 

Skar's expression immediately turned serious and he also gripped his sword tightly. 

"It looks like this little lady is going to become a dangerous monster, it's really scary. I must end you soon."

Skar exhaled and advanced to slash at Alice. The two saw each other's changing futures.

Skar dashing forward and Alice made a horizontal slash towards the neck.

 Skar ducked to avoid the slash, but that was exactly what Alice wanted as the woman instantly changed the direction of her attack 90 degrees and went straight for a vertical slash to the head. 

Skar just smiled widely and went with the flow, but he did not back away or dodge. Skar stomped the ground with great force and used the momentum to blitzing forward. 

"What a pity!"

*Bruk!

Skar's shout was silenced by Alice's knee to the man's face. He was thrown some distance away and tried to adjust his balance.

"Dragon Claw!" Alice shouted and slashed at Skar with a speed that surpassed Skar's reaction speed, shattering the man's prism necklace at the same time. 

Skar knelt down with a slash wound to the chest that was not fatal enough to kill but enough to make him lose a lot of blood. 

"I acknowledge you, young lady. You are more skilled than me in this sword duel," Skar held his slashed chest and began to breathe rather heavily. 

"But unfortunately, you didn't finish me off in one strike!" shouted Skar raising his hand and revealing a small magic circle on his palm. 

Alice's eyes opened wide and looked around to find a bright red magic circle above the stab wound.

*BWHOM! 

The huge explosion threw Alice away. Her clothes were torn in several parts, but fortunately she only received minor burns all over her body. 

"Wow. Amazing resilience, but even as strong as you are. The explosion in the wound area still has an effect," Skar said walking towards Alice. 

Alice tried to stand up but her vision blackened and her knees trembled. She knelt down in pain then suddenly vomited blood. 

"Poor thing, I will end your suffering." Skar created a ball of fire magic on top of his palm and prepared to throw it at Alice. 

Just as he was about to throw the magic ball, a chain suddenly appeared from behind and bound his wrists. 

The fiery crimson magic chains that bound his wrists were getting tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter.

*Jrash!

Skar's hand was severed. The white-haired man turned around and found Nala levitating about 30 centimeters above the ground. 

Behind Nala was a large magic circle that was fiery crimson red and emitted many magic chains with dagger-shaped ends.

"Ara... Ara... Looks like you're having too much fun with my employee. You can't... My employee are not to be touched for free," Nala said with a thin smile on her friendly-looking face. 

Skar smiled widely, "Yo... How are you? I finally found you. Nala the Crimson Chain."

Nala lost her smile, "How did you know that name?"

"Huh? How? What do you mean how? aren't we in the same class?" Skar stuck out her tongue and there was a small green diamond stuck on her tongue.

"You... Perhaps... The chrono academy?"

"That's right, we're both chrono academy guinea pigs. But unlike you, I was not gifted and was put into a separate isolation room with the rest of our friends. Do you still remember them?"

"What do you want? Did they send you? What for?"

"Don't rush me, Na-la... I wasn't sent by them and don't work for them either."

"Then, what do you want?"

"How mean, when I bothered to come here for the reunion. Is that how you treat old friends?"

"Do you want to kill me? Or do you want to take my power?"

"How wicked, to be prejudiced like that. Maya will definitely be sad..."

Nala's expression instantly changed and looked very upset. "Don't mention her name with your filthy tongue!"

"Why? Is it because..." Skar smiled widely, "You left her to be mutilated by the professors?"

Nala's eyebrows went down and her eyes widened, when she wanted to move, her whole body stopped. 

Nala looked around, there were 5 people in black hoods casting magic to restrain her. Nala couldn't move, but her magic chains could. Her 5 magic chains instantly shackled the 5 hooded mage. Binding them tightly, tighter and tighter, that the fibers and bodies of the 5 people were torn apart because they couldn't withstand the pressure of the chains. 

"What a power," said Skar who had just completed a magic circle on the ground using the blood flowing from his right hand. 

A magic circle with a hexagram symbol in the center and several runes circling the magic circle. 

A purple light suddenly appeared from the circle and expanded rapidly. Now, the ground gave off a purple glow. 

Nala instantly lost her levitation ability and the magic circle behind her also disappeared. Nala could feel herself weakening and her mana seemed to be halved. 

"This is... Abyss magic?" Nala looked at Skar who chuckled. 

"Right, and right now, no one can activate magic. You're completely useless."

"What are you planning to do? You don't intend to fight me physically with one hand already cut off, do you?"

"Of course not, I'm going to do this," Skar stuck out his tongue and forcefully pulled the green diamond from his tongue. 

His tongue was almost cut off and bled profusely, but he chuckled instead. Skar whispered a magic spell on the diamond and swallowed it instantly.

Skar's body slowly mutated, the right side of his body suddenly expanded and exploded, replaced by new green flesh with a hard rough surface like a crustacean animal.

All his wounds disappeared and a green horn suddenly grew on top of his head. 

"Hahaha... I finally surpassed the genius! Hahahahaha!" Skar laughed very maniacally.
