Chapter 218 - Mark

"How the hell did I get hit by that?" Yuki asked as he began to bleed out from his chest and mouth due to him being struck down by a spear covered with lightning as a man approached him.

It made absolutely no sense to Yuki as to how someone who hadn't even revealed who they truly were managed to land a sneak attack on Yuki. Let alone land a devastating attack such as the one that landed on Yuki.

"Did I somehow lose all my focus for a single moment in which he was able to attack me? Does he have an ability to hide his presence alone?" Yuki asked himself as he began to get ready to fight his newest enemy.

"You're probably thinking that I have some sort of ability which allows me to make it so that I'm invisible. However you're unlucky as that's far from the truth. The fact of the matter is, I'm simply stronger than you right now," said the voice which had spoken after striking Yuki down with a lightning spear once again.

"Right now you say? So in normal cases, I would be stronger than you. I guess that explains why I was caught off guard. Although you shouldn't get too condiant, I've only just begun my battle with you," said Yuki as he opened his inventory while still having the spear locked into his chest.

After opening his inventory, Yuki quickly pulled out a full status recovery potion which he drank so fast that the naked eye wouldn't have been able to perceive the speed at which this event was taking place.

Seeing as he was already healing his body, Yuki began to pull the lightning spear out from his chest so that he could fully recover as he didn't want the spear to be stuck with him for the rest of his life.

After finally taking the spear out of his chest, Yuki began to turn around to face the man he would be battling.

The figure standing in front of him was a man slightly shorter than Yuki with blonde hair. Seeing as Yuki had finished holding on to the spear, the blonde haired man somehow telepathically commanded his spear to fly out of Yuki's hands and back into the grasp of his palms.

"Oh I see. It's rather a useless ability but rather amusing. So you picked an ability which allows you to change the way your spear moves? Even I have to say that's strange," said Yuki with a confused face as he saw the spear turn sideways and began to go down towards the ground before allowing the blonde haired man to ride on top of it as if it was a skateboard.

"Oh so you can even do tricks with your spear? How intriguing. I wonder what you'll do next. Maybe even a flip-" Yuki began to speak before the blonde haired man forced his spear to fly towards Yuki before delivering a devastating kick right to Yuki's chin without paying any attention to Yuki's remarks.

"Please stay focused on the fight and stop trying to talk while you're getting beat up," the blonde haired man asked in a somewhat disappointed tone as if he had already won his battle already.

"Hey, it looks like you dropped something," said Yuki as he pointed towards the ground at which the blonde man was hovering over using his spear.

"I don't think I did-" the blonde man began to talk as he looked down at the ground to see if Yuki was in fact telling the truth. This would not be the case as Yuki vanished before reappearing in front of the blonder man before finally kicking the man in his chest and causing him to get knocked off his spear and sent back several metres.

"It's just like I thought. It's only his attacks that are boosted by potions. His defensive capabilities were as good as non-existent seeing how much damage he sustained just from a single attack. Of course that would only be natural seeing as the way his clan likes to fight," Yuki said to himself before slowly walking towards the blonde man to finish the match before it could go any further.

"You're just like the monster everyone thinks you are! You use dirty and cheap tricks to win your battles! Just because the rest of these people don't know who you are doesn't mean that I don't, Yuki Kaito!" the blonde said with a confident tone which sent a shock of surprise and wordness to Yuki's bones.

"So then you must be the clan leader of FFF since you know about me. I suppose that illuminating you would only benefit me. If you were to go down, the remaining members have no one to turn to and will be killed at the hands of me or the top 20 members of our clan as well. After all, what do you think our members have been doing for this long as we awaited the day to which you would attack us. Even though I hadn't noticed at first, I began to slowly notice that the members of the clan were slowly but surely getting stronger. It doesn't matter how strong your clan thinks they are, the winners of this battle was decided long ago, you'll the ones going home with defeat. To be quite honest, some of you won't even be alive after today," Yuki explained as the rest of the members began to take his words seriously and they began to back up in fear that they would die from the shockwaves of the attacks that Yuki and the blonde man were throwing at each other.

"To be quite honest with you, I'm not the leader of the clan. The actual leader is Batol. However due to my superior power, he'll be stepping down so I can take over. However, as of now, Batol is the current clan leader of FFF," the blonde haired man explained.

"I guess I'll just have to prove to you all how cool the FFF clan is!" said the blonde man as he prepared to start taking the fight seriously.

"Before I end this all with my final attacks, I've wanted to know your name. I would like to remember it even after you're dead," said the blonde man.

"Huh? Did I hit your head too hard or something? You literally called me by my real name after you noticed who I truly was. While we're on the subject though, what's your name? I would like to remember your name as well before I kill you, right here and right now," Yuki replied with a smirk as he repeated what the blonde haired man said to him.

"My name is Mark. Remember it well as it'll be the last thing you hear," said Mark as he pulled his spear back to himself as he held his weapon in his palm before pointing it at Yuki's neck only to find out that Yuki wasn't the least bit scared of the fate that would befall him even if he moved half an inch.

"You're quite the cocky one, ain't ya? How about I just end this right now," said Mark as he prepared to jab his spear right into Yuki's neck.

"That's too close to the neck," said Yuki with a smirk as he almost managed to get a spear jabbed into his neck.

Seeing as Mark wasn't willing to play for the long run and was just planning to kill Yuki in that moment made things clear for him so that he would know what his next move would be.

Without stopping for even a moment, Yuki reached out and placed his hand on top of the spear's large hilt area which Mark assumed was what was going on in Yuki's plan to steal the spear and use his own weapon against him. Seeing as he totally believed that to be the plan which Yuki was plotting, Mark didn't want to let go of his weapon for even a second and he hanged on to it for his dear life. 

"Let! Go!" Yuki said as he had enough of Mark's attitude as he continued to hold on to the spear before placing his foot on Mark's chest before finally pushing him away with his foot while still pulling on the spear. That way, Yuki was able to grab hold of the spear and also get some distance between him and Mark.

"I've finally got it away from you! Now look at you! You're just a pathetic human being who's being boosted by simple potions. I'll show you the end of your life right now. So behold the day which you'll meet your maker!" Yuki yelled out as he brought the spear which belonged to Mark up to his shoulder before preparing to stab Mark in the heart so that he could kill him with his very own weapon.

"Like hell I would make it a walk in the park for you to kill me! Now say hello to my true ability!" Mark yelled out as he began to get dizzy but still had the energy to put his all into the following few attacks.
