Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Unyielding Strikes [Extra]

—Clang!

Right when the two clashed their swords near Jash, he used that chance to forcefully strike the point of collision of their swords.

"Let's end this," Jash whispered under his breath.

The two were pushed back by the sudden force and were confused by what Jash whispered, having seen his lips move.

But both of them felt their hands tremble due to the extreme force of the recent attack.

And they were about to find out what Jash meant as he kicked away the ground, rushing into them.

Just now, Jash had used his sword horizontally to attack their center of force which made them wary of his next attack.

Within a few breaths, Jash stood opposite the golden-haired boy, slicing at his chest with his sword which got blocked.

—Clang!

Yet Jash seemed to have wanted that only, as he kicked the boy on his shin and used the rebound force to get away.

—Woosh!

Due to backing away, Amael's sword cut nothing but air as Jash had already gotten away and the golden-haired boy was pushed back.

The sudden kick on the shin served to disbalance him as he took two steps back to regain his footing.

Meanwhile, the audience was getting hyped and Rui announced, "Come on, everyone!! The threeway fight has just begun!!"

At the same time, Jash had shifted his weight to his right leg, working as his backfoot, allowing him to reverse his direction.

By the time Amael lifted his sword, Jash's sword slipped through his sword and made a small cut on his chest.

"Argh," Amael stepped back, straightening his arm holding the sword, which he moved at the last second to block Jash's sword.

A drop of blood leaked from the cut, but it wasn't anything major or the suit would have activated the barrier.

Still, it made Amael glare at Jash while the golden-haired boy was planning to move and eliminate Amael.

Sadly, Jash was one step ahead, already attacking him and using the same tactic to dodge the attack.

Though Amael didn't get kicked due to the distance, saving him from embarrassment.

'Now!' Jash thought as he twisted his wrist and the sword along with it before bringing it down on the golden-haired boy.

Unlike Amael who felt that the events of the novel did not relate to him, Jash took them on a personal level.

Could there be a brother who'd be happy to know that his sister was with a man with a harem of uncountable women?

And why?

Because he died, making her depressed!

Of course, Jash had his own tinted lens to blame it all on the protagonist and his shit luck to attract dangers.

Like really, why would he have to die if not for the protagonist causing that incident in the first place?

In truth, it wasn't even linked to the protagonist, but not like that would change Jash's opinion on it.

He forced mana through all his wide mana veins, heating them up due to the insane speed he was circulating mana at.

However, as Jash was about to land the attack, Amael slashed at him, and the golden-haired boy moved out of the trajectory.

Despite the situation seeming like Jash had wasted the attack, he twisted his foot to change direction at the last second.

He didn't hesitate to let some power dissipate and parried Amael's sword before making his sword follow the flow.

Unable to predict the sudden change in direction, the golden-haired boy got a slash at his chest.

—Clang!

'Just as predicted,' Jash thought before turning and delivering a roundhouse kick to Amael's wrist, forcing him to retract his attack.

The force behind the kick was enough to make Amael drop his sword had he not pulled back, damaging his muscles in the process.

Meanwhile, the golden-haired boy had a huge opening on his clothes, revealing a bronze-colored armor underneath.

Despite this, the force pushed him back over a meter, leaving marks on the ground.

—Cough!

The golden-haired boy ended up coughing a mouthful of blood due to the internal shock from bearing the full brunt of the attack.

Rather than damaging Jash, Amael ended up giving him more momentum to attack the two of them.

Alas, they were no allies either.

Of course, Jash believed that their fragile alliance had never existed, to begin with. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was all just a farce to take him out all of a sudden, but it gave him the time to recover, so why would he complain?

In fact, he was glad about the method as it allowed him to give his all at once, instead of wasting his time.

'I don't know how much time remains before the third day ends,' Jash mused, changing his target to Amael once again.

Their fight continued for a few minutes as it only got more intense by the second.

Not just Amael and the golden-haired boy, even Jash got quite a few minor injuries as the fight continued.

'Not good,' he thought with a gasp as he realized his own condition.

Unlike them, he didn't have enough mana or stamina to fight for a long time due to the difference in rank.

It was inevitable and one of the reasons fighting across ranks was so challenging.

If someone simply had twice or thrice the amount of mana, even an idiot would be able to stall long enough to tire his opponent.

Of course, it didn't apply to the current situation as all three were monsters amongst geniuses.

Well, at least not for Jash as he had minimal mana wastage as compared to them and being able to last this long was crazy enough.

Though the audience didn't know, the ones in the VIP rooms all knew the actual situation and how much of a crazy talent Jash had.

"Just because he has 2 SSS-Rank hunters' support!" someone spat venomously.

Well, no one cared as haters were everywhere and his voice was drowned by the excited crowd.

After all, the three had just moved after appearing fully exhausted.

'I can't waste a second more,' Jash decided to go all out on this one and hope it goes as he wished.

Naturally, it had to be a wish as he had already reached the last part of his plan, and the rest depended on him defeating them.

—Skree!

The three clashed their swords at an awkward angle, creating a jarring noise that disrupted their focus.

Sadly, all three had enhanced senses to a higher degree, so no one gained any advantage in that part.

Yet, Jash had already moved even before the clash, his right foot aiming for the golden-haired boy and left punch heading towards Amael's face.

He seemed somehow out of place to be using his hands and feet amidst a sword fight, but who cared?

They were free to do the same, if they could, that is.

On the receiving end, they instantly pulled their sword back, turning its grip to dampen the impact of the point-blank attack.

Unfortunately, the force from the sword clash hadn't fully distributed, shifting as they moved their swords while Jash applied pressure.

He wanted to pressure them on both sides at once and take both of them down at once.

In this battle, there was no use to take one down as it would only end if all three got out or two were taken out at once.

Alas, the two had fought each other a bit more than Jash, having planned wordlessly to eliminate him first, which failed.

That's why they were set to face the consequences of their actions.
