Chapter 246 246 Rescue VI



Jack gave in to his instinct and launched the most powerful hurricane he could muster in an attempt to wipe off Zach from the face of the earth before Zach could show his true strength.

The hurricane was even more powerful than he had used in Windsor family mansion. Luke despite being A rank mage had been unable to handle the strength of the storm and had almost been blown away back then.

Zach wasn't any stronger than Luke either. He usually relied on the powerful weapons and his vast combat experience at his disposal to put up a fight against opponents stronger than him.

Since he had been caught unaware by the sudden attack, he was blown off into the distance like a leaf in the eye of the storm. Christina wasn't any different from him. She was blown along with him.

The strength of the hurricane was far beyond any of the attacks that Jack had used so far. Therefore, Christina had misjudged his overall ability. He was clearly a far more capable mage than the circumstances allowed him to be.

Zach could feel a terrifying killing intent locking on to his back as he tumbled through the air after the sudden hurricane threw him off his feet. His senses went on full alert as the system rang out with several warnings.

Zach ignored the red screen flashing indicating life threatening danger from Jack. He didn't need the system to understand the situation he was in when the source of the danger was right in front of him.

Jack smirked when he finally got the chance to take out one of his hateful opponents. 

He was usually quite prideful of his strength and the two opponents had looked down on him and had been hunting him despite his intention to escape. Therefore, he wanted to teach them a lesson for underestimating him.

He waved his hands several times launching several wind blades at Zach who was defenseless in the air. He didn't even have the ability to dodge the blades heading his way with the speed of a bullet.

Jack was already sure that this was the end of the man with the glowing sword but what happened next left Jack with his mouth wide open.

Sensing the approaching sense of danger, Zach focused and used the force in his arsenal to conjure a ladder in midair. He stepped on the ladder as the foothold to fight against the wind blades with the glowing red saber in his hand.

The wind blades all scattered as Zach swung his saber wildly after stomping on the ladder to maintain his foothold.

Jack wasn't willing to admit defeat as he continued to send out the wind blades with each swing of his hand. The wind blades were extremely thin and didn't use up much of his mana to launch.

Zach on the other hand not only fought off the blades with the saber but also continuously stomped on the ladder and kept on heading closer and closer to Jack; the source of the hurricane and the wind blades. Only when Jack was taken care of would the storm return to calm once again.

Jack was startled because the short ladder wasn't visible to him. To him, Zach was walking in the air to reach him which made him feel a kind of fear and awe that he had never felt before.

While Jack was in shock, his survival instincts still kicked in and he conjured up a ball of condensed storm in the center of his palm that would unleash a raging storm in order to defend himself against Zach who had reached quite close to him already.

The lightsaber reached him before long but Jack was already prepared. He immediately slammed his palm holding the mini sphere of storm towards the lightsaber slashing towards him.

The red lightsaber collided with the storm in Jack's palm but there was no expected storm or an explosion of wind energy as Jack had been expecting. 

Instead, the lightsaber extinguished the storm like a tsunami would extinguish a candle flame. The sphere couldn't even defend him completely against the weird sword.

The lightsaber didn't stop even after extinguishing Jack's skills but went on to cut off Jack's entire arm off from his shoulder. An unending jet of blood began to gush out of the hole where his limb should have been.

For a second, Jack couldn't even believe that his arm had been cut off even though it was lying on the ground right in front of him. Although he was a ruthless individual who had seen a lot of bloodshed before, he had never been injured to this degree. This was his first time on the receiving end of this kind of torture.I think you should take a look at

The scream only escaped his lips once the neurons in his brains began to function properly again. The pain came as if out of nowhere and took over all his senses but before he could lose his mind completely, his survival instinct kicked in once again and saved him from falling into a manic state.

A heavy and deeply terrifying aura burst forth from Jack along with his screams full of agony. Instead of covering the stump of the arm that was continuously leaking a jet of blood, Jack glared at Zach with a maddened glaze over his eyes.

Zach was about to launch another attack but he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger from Jack who was akin to a cornered beast at the moment that didn't care about its own well being and wanted to take down the enemy with it.

As expected, the reason Jack wasn't trying to stop the bleeding despite the possibility of being anemic in between battle or death wasn't that he had stopped caring about his life and death. Men like Jack were usually the tenacious kind who struggled till the end. The only reason he was letting his blood flow freely was because he seemed to be preparing for some kind of forbidden spell.

Jack laughed creepily as the jet of blood escaping the stump on his shoulder began to defy the laws of gravity and began to float all around him in broken streams.

Murderous thoughts took over Jack's rationality as the blood began to congeal in front of him with a single wave of his remaining hand. The bloody streams took the form of several small spheres the size of an immature walnut.

The bloody spheres were so condensed that the blood had almost become a solid under Jack's manipulation.

Zach was shocked when he saw this because this world considered blood magic to be a kind of dark magic. The fact that Jack was not only able to control the wind element but also blood made him feel alarmed about this opponent. This was probably against common sense of this world.

Now he finally understood why this person was deemed to be such a terrifying criminal despite only being an A rank mage at his peak.

At the same time, Zach wasn't planning to wait around for Jack to prepare whatever spell he was preparing. Unfortunately, Jack was not only controlling the blood spheres but was also manipulating the hurricane to push back Zach from reaching close to him.

This was definitely unprecedented for Zach who had never encountered an enemy capable of using two elements at the same time. 

Still the saber in his hand helped him penetrate the defenses of the hurricane as he used the ladder as a step to move forward.

Jack was already wary of the glowing sword in Zach's hand. He wasn't willing to suffer another loss due to that weird sword that was capable of sublimating his magic skill.

Just when Zach was about to close the distance between him and Jack, the latter swung his arm and the wind element around him began to spin the bloody spheres faster than the turbine in a jet engine.

Zach probably knew the danger that the bloody spheres might pose to him as his facial expressions twisted with wariness. The rotation of the bloody spheres was no different from the method of propulsion used in high penetration bullets and armor piercing rounds in his previous world. Therefore, Zach felt that he could not let himself get struck with the bloody projectiles no matter what.

Instead of proceeding closer to Jack, it was safer for him to take a defensive stance against the projectiles before moving forward.

Jack didn't disappoint him as the strength of the projectiles was no different from solid bullets. It was in fact a little stronger than that.

Zach immediately injected his force into the lightsaber which gave rise to a blood red plasma blade capable of disintegrating almost everything in existence. He swung the blade in a round arc in front of him repeatedly with a terrifying speed. To an outsider it looked as if there were countless sword shadows protecting Zach from all outside attacks. The sword shadows made a dome like protective area around him and sublimated all the blood bullets being shot at him.

Jack had been holding onto a little hope since he had managed to make Zach halt in his advances for a moment but the moment the fan of sword crushed his blood bullets, Jack knew that he was no match for Zach's weird swordsmanship. Therefore, he planned to retreat as he utilized blood magic to slow Zach down.

Unlike before, Jack used all the blood he could muster from his body without falling helplessly to the ground and rained down a barrage of piercing bullets towards Zach from above.
