Declan stands in front of the door that leads to the Headmaster's office, it is in there that his target Lord Arsenon Regnum is currently having a courtesy call from the Headmaster himself.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWdJ28ysnL
Declan despises assassination jobs, he believes that it is a cowardly way of disposing ones enemies. He prefers fighting face to face, as to show respect to your opponents.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHKkNZeGU
He closes his eyes and smiles inwardly, anticipating the battle that is about to happen, he just hopes that this man lives up to the reputation he has heard. Finally, issued his challenge.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSYbTIABE6
"LORD ARSENON REGNUM, COME OUT! YOUR DEATH IS AT HAND!"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYczSLRQmJ
Declan raised his right knee towards his chest, then with a snap, thrust his right foot forward while putting his weight on his hips, hitting the door with a resounding crash.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Yuddc2Gd
The heavy wooden door, banded with steel was completely destroyed by the force of his kick. When the dust settled, Declan finally saw his target, still inside the office but already on his guard.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmihapng7xy
"Looks like you are a big one… I sure hope you would provide me with more entertainment, that that orc I killed…" the angel smugly declared.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAPxkoSglz
Lord Ars Regnum did not reply to the taunting of the angel, instead, he began to assess his bat-winged, golden eyed foe, a being he had never seen before.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2FL5cXFPt
The gold eyes suggest an angel, but the bat wings don't make any sense at all confusing him.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2WtsERKZi
He is facing a very dangerous opponent, he was very sure of that. Even without the skill of sense, he can definitely feel the malice creeping up and giving him a chill in his spine.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iaET9YXLk
But it takes more than that to intimidate a man like Arsenon Regnum, they don't call him the Red Lightning for nothing.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskgaVDsMa
A huge man, standing at six foot four inches tall, and weighing two hundred sixty pounds of pure muscles, he was indeed a huge man, with long reddish brown hair framing his well chiseled face and sporting a mustache that connects into his mutton chop sideburns.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LuGIXX2ER
"I don't know who you are, friend… I do not even recall if I have ever slighted you. Why would you want to kill someone who has done you no wrong?" Lord Regnum reasoned to the angel, he wants to avoid trouble if he can.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLLyImXSvY
"It doesn't matter, I was tasked by the master to get rid of you, so I will but nothing personal though, only business"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLj2EYoZ4Y
Faster than anything that Lord Regnum has ever seen in his life, the angel was already in front of him before he even realized it moved. Superb reflexes were the only thing that saved Ars' life that time, as he was able to quickly duck the angel's blow.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0wxG6ieze
He used this opportunity to rise, tackle and drag him forward with a powerful force before throwing him off, causing him to backtrack outside the Headmaster's office.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXNHl4R2BO
Lord Regnum then calmly followed the angel outside, in his mind, he is thinking that an open field is more advantageous to him, since he controls many powerful lightning spells.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgZDF8MLJ2
"You… Surely I heard you say that your target is me, right?" The mighty Lord asked the angel.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfMjvkca4
"Yes only you" Declan replied
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc3Wg3s95w
Then Lord Regnum calmly took off his heavy black coat and tossed it aside. He then folded the sleeves of his shirt, saying; "Then you wouldn't mind letting these people behind me go, since they have nothing to do with me right?" As he points his finger towards the Headmaster and the faculty of the school who were standing still, unable to move due to fear.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdUQ1RVlJY
"Of course they can go. I have no business with them." The angel nodded in agreement. "This fight doesn't concern others. This is between the hunter and the prey."
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbNvzmv3kX
The Headmaster and the faculty took this chance to run as far away from the conflict as possible. Miss Anne and the other teachers then proceeded to go to the school buildings to get their students to safety, not knowing the danger that awaits them in the form of a green slime.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfODGPJS8W9
"Now that there are no longer innocent people near us, Lord Regnum, you no longer have to hold yourself back." Declan stated with confidence.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UOPWwDY3B
Ars Regnum well knows that this is a fight to the death, he will go all out like there is no tomorrow, knowing that if he loses this fight, his son would be all alone, and that is unacceptable.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXfmestDhW
He took a small round cord from his pocket, then used the cord to tie his hair in a ponytail keeping all of it away from his eyes, so as to not hinder his vision.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjQtXeafe
With a speed as quick as lightning, Ars started his assault, closing the distance between him and the angel in a split second, he then formed a ball of lightning in the palm of his right hand and activated the spell.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CI7XsSkQv
"Lightning control MAGIC; Spark Disaster!"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL2fjasMaT
He slammed it down on the angel's side. The ball of lightning enveloped the angel's whole body and electrocuted him with a thousand volts, enough to melt even the largest Rock Ogre.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0TbrV2yol
Delcan may be an angel and angels are far above Rock Ogres but the pain he felt was not something to just power through, and Deck finally understood why his master gave him the slime as back up.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkdbBUXXx
"That was no ordinary spell… the level of control can only be possible if you are a Balekon… so am I right?" Declan who is still grimacing from the pain asked.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwshOESYe
"I see that you know about my rank… But it is unfair that you know everything about me, but I hardly know anything about you." Lord Ars replied.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9b199fAt9
"Very well… I guess it is just proper to introduce myself to you." Declan tried to hide the pain as he started to straighten up. He immediately felt a stabbing pain shooting up from the side of his body. He fought hard to keep his composure steady and tried to show his opponent that his attack earlier did not damage him one bit.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii8k8L4Nd1
"I am Declan, The Black Death, I am an angel sent to kill you." He finished with a bow.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUb8mb3AGH
"Now that our pleasantries are over, shall we start to get serious then?" Declan said with a growing smile on his face.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJhHnls47w
"Oh, absolutely!" Ars replies as he cracks his knuckles to loosen the joints.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLW7KKzMjo
The two warriors then launched themselves at each other; speed versus speed. Declan threw a heavy hook, which Ars successfully blocked.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSl8icmXR3
Ars then countered with a right while his large fist is coated with blue lightning.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iCgRrKAtv
The angel quickly parried the punch with his hand by using Ars' own momentum to make his attack miss.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQaOJtQqr
The Balekon, missing his target as his punch landed on the hard ground just next to Declan. But instead of pulling back his hand, he drove his fist deeper to the ground, surprising the angel.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqqUQcJmQE
"Lighting control MAGIC; Thunder Clap!"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmXymUgo79
The ground then erupted into a small earthquake that is laced with electricity, electrocuting and this time disorienting the angel.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdokOIPsYuq
Ars saw the huge opening in his opponents defenses, he quickly took advantage by pressing his attack, throwing a left hook at the angel's face and grabbing the neck of the angel's tunic with his right. With a fist covered in lightning, he released a series of blows right at Declan's face.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1yXyUgWh
A resounding crack is heard a few moments later, allowing blood to splatter all over the ground as Ars continuously pummels Declan's face causing the Balekon's fist to be covered with angelic blood.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8CgOPBMYa
Declan finally got his bearings back and with all his strength, he pried himself free from the Balekon's vice-like grip.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ872aSjB5lx
The angel leapt away from the Balekon to regroup his thoughts. His face was a bloody mess, not only did his body take a serious beating but also his ego. Gritting his teeth with rage, the angel decided to go all out at one hundred percent. His claws started to grow and his eyes glowed in a pale golden color.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInihUhQQLy
Declan moves faster this time. At full power, the angel's motions are like a blur of light. Heading towards Ars with the intent of ripping his still-beating heart out. He drags his claw to those massive pectorals of his enemy, but the Balekon, intercepts his claw, slapping it to the outside. Declan then uses the momentum to complete a one hundred eighty degrees turn and winds up his other claw preparing for an upper.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW5aE5yT0Z
He slashes with his claws in an upward direction, Ars side steps, completely avoiding the attack. Declan's claw isn't even finished reaching its arc when he quickly pivots and delivers a spinning side kick to Ars' direction.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVwyByfqS3
Ars ducks underneath the kick, then creates a condensed ball of electrical energy and throws it towards the angel, activating the spell.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuIAXQIONN
"Lightning control Magic; Thunder Discharge!"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcf6b3Sr38
*BOOM!!!*
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTDGfmMmlI
The explosion from the spell caused a small shockwave.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyZ4LB2gCo
The attack however misses Declan, and the angel used this unexpected opening to throw another spinning side kick.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX2W0zuZlW
The Balekon anticipated the counter and activated his defense spell.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ3775IvXP
"Lightning control MAGIC; Static Shield"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkQVlbSK0S
The Angel's foot hits the barrier, unable to reach his intended target. The set back however didn't faze Declan, instead, he increased the ferocity of his attack, he slashed and punched the shield with such force and power, that small cracks slowly started to form on the static shield.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFvIUJdTwl
A smile started to form on the angel's lips as he felt that his attacks would soon destroy the annoying barrier. In a surprising move, Lord Regnum suddenly dispels his shield just as Declan was winding up his right arm for a haymaker.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF84Loz0Roa
Ars Regnum has been waiting for that move all along, he observed that the angle always winds up before attacking at full strength, and is very open for a counter, seeing the opening, Ars made his move.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXyAsGWapp
Declan has already shifted his weight on his left hip, ready to deliver a right haymaker, when suddenly, out of nowhere, his arm was caught by the mighty Balekon. Ars then, with his other hand, grabs the angel's free arm in a tight grip.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOKQJBxFV
The helpless angel can only look at Ars as he tilts his head backwards then delivers a devastating headbutt to the angel's face.
A sickening CRUNCH is heard as Ars' forehead slams with such ferocity into the angel's nose which just healed from the previous fight with the orc shaman, breaking it once again.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxykqGa7pbF
Declan slumps to the ground kneeling, his arms limply hanging at his sides as Ars finally released his vice like grip. Standing straight and tall, electricity cracking and dancing all over his body, making him glow in a soft bluish light, Lord Ars Regnum looks down on his fallen foe.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSjjzLCmfC
"Is that all you got? How disappointing…"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJe1baQX5r
The angel has finally tasted the strength of a Balekon, he hasn't even landed a single blow.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UP7YBOEaW
"Defeat really tastes like shit…" a bloody Declan silently mutters.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbXQ8JsRJ6
……………………………
A katana appears in Chitose's right hand, wisps of white smoke swirl around the curved blade like ghosts. Claire's eyes widened in astonishment at the spectacle. Chitose is beaming, she is clearly very proud and excited to show off her new abilities.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iB4Kx2ZqU
Turning to the slime's direction, she then called her panicking classmates
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy80tZXTEp
"Quickly everyone! Claire has created a bridge by the window. Hurry and escape through there!"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BrI8Ad0Dw
Her classmates, then rushed to the window, desperate to escape this green gob of death.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o4OAVfqFl
The slime started to grow larger after digesting Bong, its constitution also started to change into the element it was born from. Sharp spikes started to appear all over its body, then from its sides, appendages started to grow.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC4EzdsDtD
Before the slime got a chance to further evolve, Chitose started to move, she ran towards the slime with the intent of slashing it with her sword, when she noticed that she was moving too fast, overshooting her target. She instead slashed the corridor walls, pulverizing it.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMeOBzF8RH
"Whoa!" A stunned Chitose gasped, surprised at how fast and strong she suddenly became. She then remembered what Hunai was babbling earlier "Maybe she was telling me what my skills are…"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCAsIygeVU
*POP*
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqZK9uKslj
"Right you are big sis!" Hunai confirmed, appearing suddenly.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEwPgSWrVO
"B-big sis?!" A confused Chitose snapped back.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuq4FsRtQ0
Hunai just smiled sweetly, then she pointed towards Chitose's back. Chi then turned around and saw the slime had shot its sharp appendages towards her, intent to impale her.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPvutT1x8
Chi then dived to the side, avoiding the spiked appendages by a hair's breadth. She then planted her foot firmly to the floor and leaped over the appendages and twisted her body upside down in mid-air as she slashed the appendages, cutting them off the body of the green slime.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugyNzoNVm
Just at that moment, Tusk arrived and was shocked by the chaos that greeted him, he was at the first floor when the slime started attacking the students, seeing that there were no teachers in sight, he took the initiative to organise the younger students to evacuate the building into safety.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidNQCsnlGI
It was the first time that he saw Chitose since the accident, he heard the rumours, but seeing her in the flesh was truly something different entirely. She was already quite quick when she was still fat, but now, she seems to almost glide, Tusk was stunned once again, but this time he was mesmerized instead of horrified.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1kNRekKzV
After cutting down the green slime's appendages, Chitose rushed towards the slime itself, she could feel the rush of air pass her face, as she moved with speed a hundred times faster than what she is capable of.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp1kP4fchY
She can feel the strength of her arms as it grips the katana comfortably like it has always belonged to her, the sword suddenly glowed much brighter, as the light it emits started to pulse like it was alive.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZjhIyeD9U
Her mind suddenly goes blank, and like a cascading waterfall, the knowledge of weilding a sword from her ancestor Sinante Bluewing flowed through her, one last gift from the High Balekon.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDHlc9IVkZ
She then closes her eyes and position the katana at her side in an iaido stance, her mana expansion skill became her eyes, locking her target with pinpoint accuracy, then as she glides nearer within slashing range, she draws the katana so fast for the eyes to see.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrqSK4QNrj
"KIRI TSUKE!"
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxONoWMjg1b
She shouted, cutting the green slime diagonally into two halves, destroying the core within it that acts as its heart.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZGj7HXchj
A green essence slowly rose from the destroyed core of the slime floating up in the air. Chitose felt a sudden hunger emanating from her sword, it started to glow once more, but this time the light had a greenish hue, the green orb from the vanquished slime was being sucked into the katana.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jCm2gKwY1
Hunai once again with a blank stare started to talk to Chitose
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBIUq3etLI
Light Katana Level Two:
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinc241eTII
A weapon from the native land of the original mana bearer, extremely sharp and durable.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwxKnSBG4o
Bonus skill:
Heat absorption, heat recoil.
Corrosion
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4S6dfKGFW
Chitose then looked at the katana more closely, observing it. It now has a faint greenish hue mixed with the white wisps swirling around.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QJOkFDg9u
Lyn and Claire then joined her after they ushered the last of their classmates (Bret) out of the window, into safety. They were relieved that Chitose wasn't harmed in any way.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNrfpkgveC
Even Claire, her anger from earlier was completely forgotten for now, hugged her friend in relief.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK2l1bI5P5
*BOOM!!!*
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PZ7WznbFx
The friends were suddenly alarmed by the loud explosion coming from the school quadrangle. They quickly looked at the window facing the area.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwenjxSEceZ
Tusk saw that his father was fighting someone with bat-like wings, worried, he started to go down the stairs towards his father.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN51XXol05
"Tusk wait! It's too dangerous!" Lyn shouted as she tried to grab Tusk's hands to stop him from running, but she failed to catch him.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocB7bAff16
Chitose tried to run after him, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right ankle. It looks like she must have twisted and sprained it when she dodged the slime's appendages earlier.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj4yB6qISu
Claire caught her friend before she fell to the floor, and supported Chitose by letting her put her arms around her shoulders.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lH6ShIycY
"Are you okay Chi? Does it hurt much?" Claire inquired with genuine concern.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxWskc4We
Chitose just nodded, grimacing in pain.
Running as fast as he can, Tusk started to cross the distance between him and his father.
…………………………
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3LJWiUM1i
Lord Ars Regnum was about to finish Declan off, when his eyes strayed past the back of the kneeling angel and saw his son Tusk running towards him in great haste.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU6VxCv2bL
The angel who sensed the hesitation of his enemy, quickly made his move.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy5y0qxCfD
He grabbed a fistfull of dust from the ground and threw it at the distracted Balekon's eyes, temporarily blinding him. It was just a split second, but that was enough time for Declan.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNlcHBpk5H
With great force, he launched himself high up in the air and made his exit as quickly as possible, escaping certain doom. He vowed that he will be coming back for another round with the Balekon.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R6kW8kX3S
Wiping the dust from his eyes, Lord Regnum missed his chance to destroy his opponent. He wasn't very worried about it though, what is important right now is that his son seems to be safe and unhurt, and that is the only thing important to a father.
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMABUex4I0K
