025. Aril VS Johan

Johan's electrified right hand began to approach Aril's face. 

"La~ laaalaaa~ laa~"

Aril sang and once again Johan's entire body was frozen in place. 

Aril instantly grabbed Johan's left hand using both of his hands that were coated in red-hot flames. 

Johan's left hand burned quickly, but not quick enough. 

Aril increased the intensity of the heat and his flames turned a bright blue color. 

The fire was so hot and burned so fast. Skin, flesh, muscle fibers, joints...

Everything burned quickly and left only the finger bones of the left hand which eventually fell to the ground.

Aril stepped his left foot forward. Hit Johan's throat with his left knuckles. Hitting Johan's chest with his right elbow. Kicked Johan's groin with his right foot. All the attacks were done simultaneously with great force. 

Johan was thrown back and his body was able to move again.

The throat felt like it was going to break, the ribs cracked and the tightness in the chest could be felt by Johan from the kick in the groin. 

The 3 points of pain began to radiate throughout Johan's body but he could not let his guard down because in front of him was someone who would do whatever it took to win. 

Although he was trembled, Johan maintained his posture. 

Aril suddenly appeared next to Johan and punched the blond man's lower jaw. 

Johan's balance faltered and Aril immediately coated both fists with red-hot flames.

Back-to-back jabs were thrown at Johan's face with such speed and power. 

Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! 

*BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! 

Aril started grinning. His face looked....

Joyful... 

Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! 

*BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! 

Not good, this situation was not good for Johan. The continuous blows slowly faded Johan's consciousness. 

But he did not see a dead end, but an opportunity! 

Johan drew high-voltage electricity into his right hand and stabbed Aril in the stomach.

*Jrash!

Blood splashed in all directions as Johan's right hand managed to pierce through Aril's stomach.

Aril stopped for a moment and blood started flowing out of his mouth. 

Johan immediately shocked Aril with high voltage electricity and succeeded in paralyzing all of Aril's nerves instantly. 

Johan withdrew his right hand and blood flowed out of the hole in Aril's stomach. 

Johan's right hand immediately gripped Aril's head and began to disintegrate the young man's head. 

Hair, skin, flesh, muscle fibers, and skull. 

1/3 of Aril's skull had turned to dust and revealed his brain. 

"La~"

Johan immediately frozen in place. 

Aril kicked Johan away and jumped away while regenerating his head back to its original state. 

Due to the effects of Johan's attack, Aril still could not control his body perfectly, but it was enough to buy a second to retreat. 

Aril knelt down, his breath coming in gasps. Blood was still flowing out of the hole in his stomach. 

Aril wiped the blood from his mouth then regenerated his stomach and the hole was closed. 

"La-"

Aril coughed. A little blood started flowing out of his mouth. 

"I've almost reached my limit," said Aril, holding his sore throat. 

Phenex's singing magic was powerful and could affect the souls of anyone who listened to it, but at the same time, it was taxing on the throat.

Every time Aril used Phenex's singing magic, it was like swallowing a spiked iron ball that slowly tore the throat from the inside. 

Aril and Johan stared at each other. Both looked exhausted and both were starting to reach their limits. 

Johan's entire body had burns that stung painfully, his throat and chest felt tight and his left hand was gone. 

Aril was breathing heavily. Although he could regenerate his body quickly, but that ability was very draining on his stamina and his throat was starting to hurt from using Phenex's singing magic so many times. 

Aril and Johan looked at each other and realized that each other's condition was in dire straits, but both of them smiled because both of them were only thinking one thing. 

'I can beat him.'

Both of them caught their breath for a few moments and then dashed towards each other. 

Johan advanced his electrified right hand towards Aril's face.

"La~ laaalaa~ la -"

Aril coughed up blood but he managed to stop Johan's movement. The young man stepped forward to approach Johan but his vision suddenly swayed and he slumped slightly in place. 

His head was dizzy, as if it wanted to burst, but he couldn't stop now. 

Aril raised his head and struck Johan directly in the face with his fiery fist. 

Johan was pushed back but now his body can move freely.

Johan immediately electrified his left leg with high-voltage electricity and wanted to kick Aril's head. 

Aril raised his right hand to block the kick but Johan created a magnetic field path from the electric current. 

Johan turned his own leg into a railgun weapon and performed a railgun kick that successfully cut Aril's right hand and left a great burn mark.

Aril's eyes widened and Johan's right hand headed towards Aril's face. 

Quickly, Aril spun forward counterclockwise and immediately set up a solid stance while regenerating his right hand at the same time.

Aril was in front of Johan with a solid stance and slammed his left elbow straight into Johan's chest. The attack managed to broke several ribs and pressed Johan's heart at the same time. 

Johan vomited blood but Aril was too close to him, the perfect distance for a counterattack. 

 Johan instantly created a pillar of high voltage electricity where Aril was standing and managed to electrocute the young man. 

Aril knelt in place and Johan aimed his right hand at Aril's head. 

But Aril managed to dodge at the last moment and jumped away. 

Johan's attack did not succeed in paralyzing Aril but was enough to send the young man into convulsions.

Aril brought his hands forward and created a huge fireball with his right hand and created a huge wind ball with his left hand. 

The two balls launched at the same time and then merged to create a giant fire attack. 

Johan electrified his entire body and forced his body to move faster.

"La~ laalaaa -"

Aril vomited blood but at least he managed to stop Johan's movement. 

Aril's fire attack came closer and Johan just stood still.

In less than a second, Johan was able to move again. 

Aril was surprised that the magic effect of his singing magic was starting to diminish, but it didn't matter because Johan couldn't dodge without getting burned anyway. 

Johan didn't dodge. He creates an electron field that forces all oxygen to react with carbon.

In front of Johan was a wall made of electron fields that forced all oxygen turned into carbon dioxide. 

Aril's fire attack went out as soon as it reached Johan because there was no more oxygen to catalyze the attack. 

Aril stepped forward but his vision wavered.

 He knelt in place and his palms touched the ground, trying to support Aril's exhausted body. 

Opportunity!

Johan lunged forward at Aril and enveloped his right hand in high-voltage electricity. 

But Aril got up and immediately coated his right hand with red-hot flames.

Johan grinned. 

A green electron ball was created behind Aril and shot straight through the young man's heart. 

Aril vomited blood and immediately lay on the ground. 

Johan aimed his right hand at Aril's head, but a pillar of fire was created where they were. 

Aril was not burned by Marchosias' fire but Johan was charred. 

Aril regenerated his injured heart and stood up. 

The flames had died out and Johan's entire body was turned into black and his hair had been burned away. 

Aril was exhausted but he had to end this now. 

Despite his poor condition, the grin on Aril's face widened as if he was enjoying the situation.

Both of Aril's hands were coated in flames in an instant and he aimed his fist straight at Johan. 

Johan opened his eyes and looked at Aril sharply, sending a chill down to Aril's spine. 

Johan pointed his right hand at Aril's face.

"La~ laalaaa~ la -"

Aril's throat was crushed and Aril vomited blood. But it was worth it because Johan could not move. 

Aril gripped Johan's right hand with both hands and burned it with red-hot flames.

The fire was very faint, indicating that Aril had reached his limit.

But Aril didn't care! 

He forcefully used Marchosias' fire magic and increased the intensity of the heat.

Blood poured out of Aril's eyes as he pushed his own soul beyond the limit. 

The fire grew hotter and managed to burn Johan's right hand, leaving only the finger bones of the right hand that fell to the ground. 

Aril had no more stamina to regenerate his body, but it was unnecessary because now, both of Johan's hands were no longer usable. 

Aril looked at Johan and what shone in the scorched man's eyes was a burning determination.

A ball of green electrons was created behind Aril's head and shot straight towards the young man's head. 

However, in a state of flow, excess euphoria and adrenaline, Aril's entire sense sharpened and he could hear the hissing sound of the electrons behind him. 

Aril bent his head to the left and the electron laser attack only melted his right ear. 

Johan's eyes widened instantly. Aril's response was not normal. How could he possibly dodge under these circumstances? 

Aril laughed. No sound came out of his mouth due to the crushed throat, but the movement of his mouth indicated that he was laughing.

*BHAM! 

A punch to the face and a knee attack to Johan's stomach at the same time. 

Johan was knocked back and lay on the ground.

He forced his body to move, but his body seemed to refuse to obey his will. 

On the other hand, Aril approached with a horrified look. 

Blood flowed out of Aril's mouth and eyes, but the young man seemed to be having fun. 

At that moment, Johan realized, what he was fighting was not a human....

*BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! BHAM! 

Multiple punches were thrown at Johan's burnt face.

Aril continued to hit Johan while laughing... 

The soundless laugh...
