Chapter 73 No way...!?

Chapter 73

Shane moved his blade from one angle to another.

Just when it seemed like Shane had the upper hand, Oliver finally saw his opportunity.

Crunch!

With a swift feint, he drew Shane's attention away from his axe, tossing it into the air before catching it mid-air by the handle and then brought it down with all his might, the blade bit into Shane's shoulder with a sickening thud.

"AGHH-!!"

Shane cried out in pain, staggering back as blood welled in massive amounts from the wound. He could even see something white beneath it.

Was that his tissues or bones? He did not know but it pained very bad.

Oliver maintained a neutral look as the moonlight reflected back from his rapier. Pressing to his advantage, his rapier darted forward with insane speed. With a final thrust, he pierced through Shane's abdomen, the tip of his rapier finding its mark with lethal accuracy.

"Kuh-!"

Shane directly spat blood onto the ground as his eyes felt the world tremble.

He bit his lips to prevent losing consciousness as he backed down.

"You forced me to use this." Shane spoke in a hoarse voice as blood kept spilling from his body.

His eyes were filled with killing intent when he looked at Oliver's expressionless face.

It reminded him of Nadia's face... they resembled each other too much for his discomfort.

Oliver became alert when he saw him doing some strange movements, he activated [Cosmic Void Gaze] and saw espera rapidly gathering around Shane rapidly and quickly realized that he was about to perform a secret art.

"Just die, you bastard!" Shane mumbled as his eyes turned ignited into craziness and madness. He no longer cared about the rules, he just wanted to kill Oliver now.

'So be it.' Oliver also realized that he was not in a state to simply dodge or counter without revealing any of his cards.

Shane placed the blade straight in front of his chest as he closed his eyes.

"[Trip of the Seven Serpents]"

He spoke aloud, his voice echoing in the forest.

Oliver did not delay and got into a stance of his own in front of Shane's eyes.

He threw the axe to the side as he stretched the hand holding the rapier forward in a straight line pointing towards Shane.

"[Sovereign Strike of Infinite Freedom]"

It all happened in a split second, as both parties launched their own secret attacks.

Boom!

Boom!

An expression of extreme hatred was etched on her face.

But more importantly, the thing he noticed was that her injuries, although still there, seemed to be duller than before.

He saw as she curled her fingers and punched at his face.

She spat, "I don't like the look in your eyes, this defiant look... how vexing."

One punch after another as she vented out her anger.

"How did you change so much!?"

"How did you gain such strength!?"

"TELL ME!!"

She used an espera-infused punch and sent him flying forward.

"Ugh-!"

Oliver groaned in pain, his mind and vision were getting dizzy.

He had already realized that this girl had brought a healing potion along with her.

It was no surprise, she was one of the main heirs of the clan, she was showered with resources and should have a few potions.

He quickly started to concentrate and calm himself, the pain was searing but fortunately, his vitals were safe for now.

She did not look at Oliver right away and instead went up to her brother first.

"Shane..."

She whispered as she saw his bad state, a frown slowly made its way on her forehead.

She was the one who knew him the most, she knew that Shane was very strong, stronger than the 2nd brother and this was the reason why she often listened to him.

Seeing him in such a critical state made her feel mad.

"I never expected that you would be beaten to such an extent by him... you disappoint me."

She scowled in a colder tone as her eyes had a look of disappointment in them.

She did not like how he was also defeated by Oliver.

That's right, she was not mad because Oliver had beaten her brother to such a state but because Shane was defeated so badly by him.

It made her lose her respect for him.

She knew that even she was defeated by that Oliver but it was not this bad... he was almost on death bed at the moment.

"Tch."

She clicked her tongue in annoyance and took out another healing potion from her pocket. It was a tube of liquid.

Cupping his mouth in her hands, slowly pouring its contents into his panting mouth.
