Walking over to one of the trees with Soohyun in his hand, Minhyun bent down to place her on the ground and carefully, leaned her back against the tree. Although that was not a comfortable spot, it had to make do for now.
A worried expression sat on his face while he extended his hand towards her and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. Then, he brushed away the hair from her face.
He mumbled, "This will be over soon, and then, I will be taking you home. So, don't worry about dying."
With that, Han Minhyun stood up, and turning his back on Soohyun, he stepped towards the man before him. The smiling expression on Oh Jaeho's face did not dissipate.
An amused expression settled on Minhyun's face, and his lips curved to form a grin. A sadistic look showed in his eyes while his thirst for blood was easily visible in those dark eyes of his.
"Oh Jaeho, I have always wanted to have a fight against you," Minhyun vocalised, "I believe that today will be that lucky that."
"What a great coincidence! I have always wanted that as well," Jaeho spoke out, "I know of your passion for such fights and how monstrous you can turn. I am looking forward to see that."
With that, Han Minhyun extended his hand downwards, and a sword generated into his hand. The surroundings began to turn colder, and the trees around him were slowly getting frozen.
On the other hand, Oh Jaeho had his sword in his hand already, and electric waves passed through his sword while he raised it up.
"Let's do this thing. During the entire fight, Moon Jiwoo would not be brought in," Minhyun voiced out.
"Alright, I will be complying to that any way without you mentioning it to me. Taking advantage of her would only make the entire thing boring."
With that, Oh Jaeho brought his sword down, and a wave of electricity came out from it. The wave went in Minhyun's direction, breaking the ice on the ground created by Minhyun.
As much Minhyun wanted to take the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of fighting slowly with Jaeho and sadistically dealing with him, he knew that he had to get over with it fast.
The situation was getting worse for Soohyun, and without a supply of blood, she would barely be able to survive for much longer.
Even though Minhyun believed in his skills, Oh Jaeho was well matched with him when it came to it, and taking Jaeho out will be hard for him.
The only advantage Minhyun had over Jaeho was that he controlled the ice while Jaeho controlled the electricity, meaning that even though it was powerful, his surroundings will be heating up sooner or later, giving Minhyun an advantage over Jaeho then.
But for that, Minhyun had to continue this for a longer period of time, and that was not the option now. He really lacked when it came to time now, and therefore, he had to look for a opening in Jaeho's moves.
Han Minhyun did not plan to kill Jaeho completely for that would not be possible now. He merely wanted to make Jaeho weak to the point that he and Soohyun will be able run away from there.
Although running away was not the most honorable thing to do, faced with death, he did not care about the options. Moreover, in this, even Soohyun's life was concerned, and therefore, he had to let go of his original pride completely.
Flying over Jaeho with his sword, Han Minhyun was about to attack his wrist in order to let the man let go of his sword. However, Jaeho, who had already predicted that move of his, jumped away from that position.
Only a small cut was left by Minhyun on his hand that healed almost immediately. Not letting Minhyun a chance to land on the ground, Jaeho made an attack towards Minhyun with his sword.
Minhyun almost could not breath for a second before he managed to compose himself, and without wasting a second longer, he slashed his sword against the wind, letting the icicles fly towards Jaeho.
As those sharp pieces of icicles flew towards Jaeho, he dodged them all and cut through some of them with his sword.
The temperature around Jaeho began to rise as he continued to use his powers, and not wanting to get weak due to that, he instantly back away from him.
Taking in a deep breath, Minhyun quickly directed more icicles towards Jaeho without a stop, and only a few of them was able to come in contact with Jaeho.
Oh Jaeho using his maximum speed moved towards the left, and the speed was difficult for Minhyun to process instantly. Therefore, he was unable to target the icicles in that direction.
Taking advantage of this opening, Oh Jaeho appeared behind Minhyun with his high speed and was about to attack Minhyun from behind.
Han Minhyun noticed his presence behind him almost immediately, and before that attack could have turned fatal for him, he quickly moved away from that position.
A jolt of pain went through Minhyun's back while he stumbled back on the path, and blood flowed down the wound made on his back. Due to the effect of the electricity and heat from it, the wound was healing slower than usual.
A serious expression appeared in Minhyun's eyes while he brushed back the hair from his forehead, and he rushed forward with the sword in his hand.
Noticing that movement of Minhyun, Jaeho came forward and stopped Minhyun's sword with his. A loud sound was created when Minhyun's sword clashed against his.
