Chapter 133: Clash Of Pride 3

"Whatever method you used to defend against my attack has drained you dry of your mana and similarly I have also been drained of my mana.

I can notice the occasional spasm in your leg. You are in no condition to fight, but if you insist on being stubborn, then I don't mind going the extra mile and helping you die."

"Blake don't push him. That axe you just summoned is something straight out of myth. The most it has ever been summoned by a person is once, this is the heavens trying to manipulate you, don't let….."

"The heavens "Blake whispered under his breath as he listened to the warnings of the voice in his head and then cutting it off, turned to Kail.

"Words spoken by weaklings."

Not even waiting for Kail to respond, Blake lifted his hand up in the air and smiled at him.

"I said you will die today, not even the heavens can change that"

As Blake made this declaration, for the first time in his life, Kail was gripped with the feeling of a deadly crisis, his entire instincts screaming at him that death was coming but then rather than listen to survival instincts which begged him to flee he took two steps towards Blake and with a smile he had mana gathering towards him.

Kail could feel that Blake was trying to tap into some mysterious power that would end him, and Kail took that as a challenge to also tap into a higher power, since piercing strike, an attack that was the culmination of his current comprehension of mana and strength couldn't kill Blake, then he would just make a breakthrough in his comprehension level and use that to kill Blake.

Blake could feel Kail's intentions and to this he smiled, focusing harder on the profound feeling which seemed to be somehow much farther from him than when he had first sensed it.

"Stupid axe come to me," Blake muttered.

From being a battlefield filled with explosions and the use of techniques that would make fourth-order beings wary, the battlefield had gained a certain calm as the two main combatants were now just silently standing before each other.

The winner of the battle was no longer going to be decided by who could fire off the strongest attack, but by who would grasp onto a higher level of power first, Blake seeking to summon the black axe and Kail looking to increase his level of mana comprehension.

Like this a long silence which lasted for minutes descended and the spectators could only watch in bewilderment.

"I can't believe he is seeking to comprehend mana to the third level, only those in the fifth order comprehend those levels," Naomi muttered in a low and near-defeated tone.

"I don't understand, why is Kail going into a stupid challenge with this demon when he can just attack and kill him?"

"They are both exhausted Solara, and most importantly prideful, their pride won't let them sneak up on each other, this is a sort of battle to see who is a greater talent."

"But they have no idea what each other is trying to do, what if whatever that demon is doing is easier, I mean Kail is trying to comprehend the third level of mana on the spot what could be harder than that."

"You are right it doesn't make sense for Kail to engage him in such a challenge, but then again he could be taking this as a challenge to his own self.

With how much pride Kail has I can imagine how badly he must have been hit after he saw himself drawing in a battle with a first-order being.

Even I am still trying to digest that information."

"Well, while I hope he succeeds, this challenge of theirs presents for me the best opportunity to kill Blake and I'm not going to miss it.

Deal with Rehabab."

After saying those words, covered in golden light, Solara levitated a bit off the ground and she shot forward gliding over the ground and approaching Blake with murder in her mind.

Naomi though not against the challenge between Kail and Blake saw the truth of Solara's words and just as Rehabab moved to intercept Solara, she struck the ground with her hammer, making a tall thick wall shoot up from the ground and come between him and Solara, and by the time he shattered the wall and got to the other side, she was already waiting for him, hammer on her shoulder.

With Rehabab taken care of, Solara had a clear path to Blake. She could already see herself harvesting the life of the monstrously talented Blake and had already called upon her mana.

With her staff held to her side and glowing sliding over the ground, Solara rapidly closed the distance between her and Blake, but then suddenly out of nowhere, a white-haired woman phased into existence in ahead of her and without being able to put up the slightest resistance, Solara collapsed to her knees sliding on the ground and coming to a stop in front of the woman.

The subtleness with which the woman had subdued Solara left everyone unaware of what had happened, well everyone but Blake.

The concept of reaching out for a feeling and trying to grab onto it and summon it made no sense to Blake, but in the end here he was doing it, and to make matters worse he wasn't doing it with all his focus because of course he still had enemies around him one being the person who had finally decided to reveal herself and protect him.

"Not even a thank you Blake" the voice of Lena sounded once more in Blake's head, the woman now feeling like a cockroach Blake could not get rid of.

With pride aura and his blood which he could control with just his intent, Blake was well secured from any attacks that were to come his way.

Why Lena had helped him Blake didn't know and he didn't let that make him drop his guard against her.

While the minds and souls of the others were susceptible to Lena's manipulation, Blake was immune to it, and whether Lena knew this or not, he had been aware of her presence and movement on this battlefield the minute she stepped foot on it.

Blake was an eternal demon, there was no one who could escape his senses.

A few minutes later, Blake opened his eyes, in his hand an axe and though he noticed that no one other than Lena noticed and saw the red axe, he was glad when seconds later, Kial's eyes opened and he with fear in his eyes stared at the Blake who was now standing right in front of him and the weapon he had summoned.
