Chapter 404: Northern Vs Koll 2.0 [Part 2]
"What? How did you know that?" Northern's voice quavered.
He received no response. Instead, Koll's image split through the air, catching Northern entirely off guard.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
There wasn't even time for the Void Force of Limitless Void to manifest. Before he realized what was happening, one of Koll's spears scraped along the torso of the Night Terror armor. Northern staggered back. As usual, Night Terror armor to the rescue.
However...
Northern's face blanched as he glanced down at the area the spear had just grazed.
A large scratch marred that section, as if the armor was being torn, yet the gash wasn't deep enough to penetrate it.
Northern gritted his teeth.
This marked the first time an attack had left a blemish on his supposedly indestructible
armor.
That single mark ignited a fierce anger within him. He felt the armor's smoothness and beauty had been tarnished by that solitary dent.
Koll wasn't about to wait around for Northern to lament a single injury to his armor.
Mere moments after backing off, he was already hurtling towards Northern.
But Northern stood ready.
As Koll neared, he unleashed a torrent of black flames that engulfed them both.
"Do you never learn?" Koll croaked in a froggy voice.
Scarlet flames, reminiscent of burning blood, swirled between them alongside Northern's black inferno.
The same phenomenon that had occurred with Koll's head began anew-Northern, however, found himself locked in a fierce exchange of steel with Koll.
The surrounding air seared hot, causing his armor to scorch his body.
The heat intensified, forcing him to keep his hands in constant motion lest Koll's spear find purchase in his armor at the slightest opening.
Northern, nonetheless, refused to ignore the heat's effect on him.
He roared, a blend of frustration and ferocity. As he did, what little remained of the black flame began to burn deeper.
Suddenly, the scarlet flames were being consumed once more.
Northern, however, didn't respond as expected. Instead, he declared:
"Brace yourself for what's coming next." Northern exhaled a steamy breath and muttered,
"Wind stride."
As he moved, he whispered again, "Speed Burst."
Whoom!
Before Koll could register anything, Northern had blown past him, carving a deep gash in his
side. Golden liquid oozed from the wound.
Koll touched his blood and turned back.
"Stupid human, you've been holding back all along."
Northern shrugged his shoulders.
"Not really. I possess a vast arsenal of abilities. I choose to maximize every battle I engage in through simple application of my skills. When that proves insufficient, I resort to more
complex strategies."
He dismissed both swords, and Grengar crackled to life instantaneously, showering itself in black-purplish sparks.
Northern twirled the twin-bladed staff and glared, his eyes shimmering with azure light. "Here I come."
