Chapter 123 123:Endgame



Letting out a maddening roar, Ezekiel rushed towards Lucas with a murderous expression. Calming himself, Lucas raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

BANG!BANG!BANG!

Three bullets shot forward creating a loud bang. Whistling and tearing the air, the bullet appeared right before Ezekiel however before they could pierce him.

Ezekiel whipped both of his hands. The two swords moved, leaving behind after images, struck the bullet and deflected them.

CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!

Lucas's brows creased a little. He expected this but the reality was a bit hard for him. Ezekiel's blades moved swiftly as if they had their own mind, striking in every direction at once.

The bronze sides of the distant mountain made by the crimson rays of the setting sun fell upon them. One wouldn't miss this chance to appreciate the view but all of them were rather preoccupied.

Without holding back, Lucas kept pulling the trigger. The bullets whizzed over his head, missing by a mere inch. Though Ezekiel was quite skilled and deflected most of the bullets aimed at him, he started to feel a headache on drawing near to Lucas as the speed of a bullet and the momentum they carried seemed to be increasing.

Luck seemed to be on his side but it would be reckless to rely on this fickle luck so much. It was then he spotted Lucas reloading the gun.

Shouting with a murderous glint, he threw one of his swords straight at Lucas's vital point"Dieee!"

Lucas immediately sprang into action and dodged the sword hurling at him.

As Lucas dodged the sword, Ezekiel crouched low and reduced the space between them and then pounced up to attack him.

Witnessing Ezekiel right before him, a grin formed over Lucas's lip as he pulled out another gun pointing at Ezekiel, startling him.

"Did you think, I have only one?"Lucas mocked while pressing the bullet immediately.

BANG!

Just as the bullet shot out from the end of a gun aimed at Ezekiel's head, he moved his remaining sword to block.

A tremor permeated into his arms numbing him, making him take a few stumbling steps back. Meanwhile, seeing Ezekiel's vulnerable state, Lucas pressed forward aiming at Ezekiel.

Just when the result of the match seemed clear, Ezekiel made a beckoning sign. A white light flashed in the air and a sword went past Lucas' sword slicing the front end of the gun, seeing which Lucas jump back and threw it away.

[Beckon]

Ignoring all the rules, a sword flying in the air appeared in Ezekiel's hand. It was their weird bloodline ability with which they can call the weapons or things marked by them.

"It's a troublesome ability."Lucas snorted.

Seeing Lucas moving like a slippery eel, he changes his tactic.

"Survive this!"

"Blazing Sword art!''Ezekiel shouted and his dual sword became fiery red. Locking onto Lucas, he slashed his sword throwing multiple swords arc-like missiles.

Reacting swiftly, Lucas shifted his weight and activated flash steps.

With swift jump-alike movements, Lucas ran around the meadow, deftly evading the fiery projectiles bombarding him.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

The piping-hot sword arcs met the ground and detonated upon impact creating blasts one after another.

Lucas glided down and couched onto the ground while jumping away to avoid the strikes. The energy contained in those strikes was enough to slice a person in half.

He tried to maintain distance and lead the charge towards others in the periphery.

"Ahhhh!"

"Run!"I think you should take a look at

"Arghhhhh!"

The students fighting around the place ran away in fear of seeing the devastating aftermath left behind by Ezekiel's sword strikes.No one had ever imagined, Ezekiel who fights like a brute could use such sophisticated sword art. On top of that, he seemed to be quite proficient.

Seeing the slippery eel, Ezekiel shouted furiously.

"Stop running, coward! Fight me head-on."

Noting this, Ezekiel charged in and shot sword arcs at breathtaking speed. The round arcs turn their trajectory and circled Lucas trying to encompass him.

Leaving no time to catch his breath, Lucas stomped the ground and leapt over to the air allowing it to blast the ground. The force of the explosion hit Lucas and sent him up further.

Seeing Lucas in mid-air, Ezekiel fired another sword aiming to catch him off guard.

Lucas's eyes widened and without any hesitation, Lucas pulled out his sword.

Channelling his mana onto the sword, he swung his blade giving a horizontal slash.

A golden arc was drawn in the space that shot down towards the ground.

SLING!

In a fleeting moment, a golden line appeared over the sword arc cutting it into two that still moved, towards Lucas who shot ice spikes at it.

BOOM!

Another explosion resounded in the air causing white smoke to cover the vision.

Ezekiel whose senses were at an all-time high, reacted sensing another attack aimed at him.

This time, from behind his back, coating himself and his weapon in mana, Lucas quickly attacked with various combinations of slashes and thrusts.

However, Ezekiel was already used to this. Turning around, he raised his sword and sneered "I won't fall for this for the second time."

CLANG!

A numbing pain coursed through Lucas's body pushing his feet away. Ezekiel with a slight nudge, deflected Lucas's sword. His balance faltered as his right shot behind.

With a glimmer, Ezekiel slashed his other sword with immense force. Sensing danger, he knew this was enough to cut him down so to protect himself, he raised his other hand holding the gun.

Ezekiel's hands came vertically downward, changed their trajectory and swung back, he rolled his hands and slashed from downward.

A line was drawn over Lucas's arms, and the portion from Lucas's shoulder was cut.

"Arghhhhhhhhhh!"Letting out a loud shriek, Lucas jumped back in pain and fell to the ground.

With a reddened face, he gritted his teeth to suppress the pain.

"Hehehehehehe!What did I tell you?"You are nothing but a mere ant whom I can crush as long as I wish?"

"Hahaha!"Laughing loudly, Ezekiel looked down and stomped on Lucas's cut hand trying to humiliate him.

"This time it's hand, next time it will be your head.''

"You are really an idiot."

Lucas who was groaning suddenly gave a hysterical laughter baffling Ezekiel.

Looking at him with pity, Lucas gave Ezekiel a cutthroat sign and before Ezekiel could understand Lucas's words, beeping noise echoed in his ears.
