Chapter 6

Both men didn't say anything until the thug [Brad] to the right of Leo roared and sprinted towards Sebastian. The thug pulled up his rifle and started shooting towards the teen; Sebastian quickly turned around and used the fallen thug as a meat shield and jumped towards the incoming thug. With a quick movement he shoved the corpse against the guy and being distracted by his dead ally against him; he didn't notice Sebastian getting behind him.

Brad: You bas...

He couldn't finish his sentence as he noticed the sky turn upside down and then felt the hard concrete floor, with the last bit of energy he looked up and saw his body standing up before slowly crumpling down, behind it was Sebastian with his sword drawn out.

Sebastian: Hey Taka when you gonna stop sending your lap dogs and come deal with me yourself?

Leo: Oh well I thought maybe they would be enough to take out you if they ganged up, but I was mistaken.

A bright green met with a glowing maroon as both teens glared towards each other. Flicking his left wrist Sebastian launched 3 throwing knives towards Leo.

Richard[Thug 1]: Watch out Boss! He shouted as he pushed Leo out the way; receiving the three knives in his head, killing him instantly.

Leo looked at the thugs, shrugged and walked towards Sebastian.

Leo: Good thing you went for the head... Wouldn't want a bunch of useless ghouls walking around here.

Sebastian: You call your own squad useless?

Leo: Come on Sebastian we both know they were weaklings that would have died later in the future by a boss, a ghoul or even by me if they did something stupid.

All emotion left his eyes as he sent a creepy grin towards Sebastian.

Within meters of each other they both drew there weapons and lunged towards each other , sparks erupted as their weapons clashed against each other. Leo sent a knee towards the gut of Sebastian and it landed perfectly, causing him to grunt and jump back. While jumping back Sebastian grabbed 6 throwing knives, 3 in each hand and infused his mana within them making them gain a maroon hue and vibrate.

Sebastian: Try dodging these!

The knives were flung towards Leo and his eyes went wide before a big explosion occurred, creating a storm of dust between the two.

Sebastian activated Eagle sight and tried to look for the corpse but then he felt a sharp pain go into his stomach. He looked down and saw it was the top part of the halberd and holding the weapon was Leo with his jacket burnt off revealing his white shirt and some blood escaping his side as well.

Leo: That's a pretty nasty move, good thing my skill activated..

Sebastian: What skill? Said Sebastian in a puzzled manner.

Leo: [The Saints last prayer] it allowed me to dodge one lethal blow that would seriously injury me once every 2 weeks.

Sebastian grunted and slashed downwards with his katana cutting Leo on his shoulder, making him yelp and dodge backwards leaving the weapon in Sebastian. He screams as he pulled out the spear and chucked it on the floor, without a thought he took out a Health potion and drank it. He could visibly see his wound healing and his Hp rejuvenating.

He looked over and saw Leo doing the same, quickly wanting to end this Sebastian lunged towards the Leo and sliced across the teen's stomach but then got a knuckle duster in the face causing him to fly into ground. When he looked up he saw a red flashing notification in front of him.

System:USER HAS LOST 100 HP DUE TO CRITICAL STRIKE!

Leo: Color me surprised, I thought that would have insta killed you... That just shows you got HP above 100.

Sebastian: What chance is it that you get a critical on your first strike?

He spat out some blood and stood back up.

Leo: With this item? 50 % Its called [Knuckle Down Knuckle Duster]It is a S rank weapon I got from a boss. It has the chance to either hit a critical damage or hit normal damage. He grinned.

Sebastian: That's a fancy story and all but I'm getting annoyed by your story telling skills so lets finish this.

I only got 2 minutes with this skill so lets make it count, Sebastian thought to him self.

Sebastian:[ANCIENT BEAST]!

A strong gust of air blew from the teen and Leo had to shield his eyes from the dust, when he looked again he saw Sebastian was glowing green and grew much more muscular, his skin turned to a maroon red and looked like scales, his teeth were more jagged and he had big black claws.

Sebastian opened his eyes up and the pupils were slit like a snake's and he crouched low then sprung up taking him up a distance before he came crushing down behind Leo. Leo quickly turned around and punched with the knuckle duster in Sebastian's stomach. There was a bit of smoke coming from the punch but he saw that Sebastian looked down and grinned at him and then suddenly with his big arm delivered a hook in Leos face causing him to fly through a wall.

Leo coughed out blood and saw multiple red notifications in front of him.

System: USER HAS LOST 150 HP 100 remaining.

Leo wanted to use a health potion but quickly saw a shadow above him and Sebastian picked him up and threw him back out side through a wall causing more damage.

Sebastian suddenly staggered a bit and saw blood coming out his mouth

Sebastian: Dammit, 2 minutes almost up he muttered to himself and sprinted towards Leo body.

When he punched it again it turned into smoke. Sebastian looked around frantically, then felt something break off his skin and looked back and his eyes widened. There were 5 Leos standing there, all of them brandishing a combat knife.

Leo: This is my trump card [Cloud Clones] it's a skill that allows me to make a set of clones of myself and switch places with it. The clones can do everything I can, even skills.

Sebastian roared and leaped forward into the group of clones.

Sebastian: I'll just kill em all! He said.

Then he brandished his claws to tear all of them to shreds when he suddenly vomited up blood and a red steam escaped his body as he shrunk. When the steam moved away it showed Sebastian to be normal again and his clothes where sitting loss on his body due to being over stretched.

Leo: ALRIGHT TIME TO STRIKE!

Leo and 2 more clones sprinted towards Sebastian and 2 stabbed him in his upper thighs when Sebastian cut two clones in half killing them instantly. His vision started to go blurry.

Sebastian panted hard as he quickly rolled out the way from another knife and saw flashes in front of him before he suddenly vomited up blood.

System: USER HAS LOST 100 DAMAGE FROM STOCKPILED DAMAGE IN ANCIENT BEAST MODE AND POISON.

Sebastian: I'm gonna die if I don't kill him in one strike but this better hit otherwise I'm done because my mana is running on its last drops.

Running on pure adrenaline he grabbed the last 2 throwing knifes and hurled them towards Leo who covered his head thinking they went for a head shot. He felt some pain and saw that the knives were sticking out his feet keeping him immobile.

While he was shouting from the pain he saw a shadow in front of him and looked up.

Sebastian searched his mind for a sword technique and one appeared, so he gripped the katana and did it.

Sebastian: One sword Style: Inu no gochisō pakku![Pack of Dogs Feasting]

In one movement Sebastian chopped both fore arms off and finally cut his head off making his brain unaware of the pain from losing the limbs.

Sebastian: May you find peace in the after life. He said softly and passed out out due to pain and fatigue.
