Chapter 48: Chapter 47: Two against One
Damon frowned as he heard the nervous tone in Gin’s voice and frowned.
Gin?
Nervous?
Who the hell are they?
Damon stood gazing fiercely at the male student with the broadsword on his back, focusing on nothing else but him!
Damon!
Xiu!
.....
Damon felt the threat of death but for a brief moment, his face instantly twisted as his hand shot towards his side like lightning, parrying the attack launched at him!
Pa!
“Fast!” the lady in a black ninja attire exclaimed while gazing at her numb wrist barely holding on to her dagger while her hand flung back!
With great determination, her face narrowed as his free hand swung forward and fiercely! The dagger in her hand was like a piercing light racing towards Damon from the left!
Xiu!
Suddenly Damon vanished and appeared right in front of her, too close for her attack to reach him! He sent an open palm forward slamming her by the chest!
Boom!
Following what one could call a fierce burst of mana, surging out of the opponent’s back. The girl let out a scream of pain with a mouthful of blood as her body shot back!
Blegh!
“YOU!”
A towering figure appeared above Damon and struck down fiercely with his great sword!
“You just can’t!” Damons bellowed as his empty palm swung upward with darkish purple mana surging around it!
Boom!
The two clashed and the male student was blown back into the air. Damon watched as the man did a backflip in mid-air and landed perfectly.
The lady was already on her feet but on all fours like a cat, ready to strike at any time while Damon stood at the center in his sleeveless back mage robe, his hands were gently placed behind him like a martial arts master.
Crazy!
How can a mage have such a powerful body and reaction speed? All this while he fought without chanting or casting a single spell! Then the concept of blocking a sword attack with a hand covered with mana has never been heard of! At least not to these two siblings.
“Vincent family duo... A powerful noble family just behind the three great dukes of the empire. It is funny when I heard you two became chosen for the fighter academy. I didn’t expect you two will be the first to come at us, it’s only sad you cannot win” Gin said with a cruel grin. He just remembered that they had a powerful mage with all forms of dark magic, as well as the endowment of a werewolf! A lone wolf at that!
Damon was no different from the powerhouse and shield of the team. To get to them you need to get through him and getting through him is a near impossible task for those at his level!
“Shut it!” The lady growled as she turned towards Gin furiously only to sense the cold arms of death wrapping at her at that very instant!
Damon was already behind her with his left hand casually stretching towards her face! While his movements looked slow it was quite fast and almost impossible for her to react to! All she knew was that if those hands reach her neck, she will die!
“GET BACK!” a fierce roar echoed loudly as a massive figure appeared behind Damon with his sword swinging down furiously!
Martial art: Strike!
A fine black aura laced with his great sword, leaving a trail as it moved at astonishing speed!
KILL!
Damon launched into the air at a terrifying speed, with his leg facing the sky while his fist punched downward, aiming for the skull of the fighter still trapped in the swinging motion!
Martial art: Strike!
PENG!
A fierce explosion erupted between his fist and the black daggers laced with a black aura from the female fighter! To think she acted promptly and shortened the distance between her and Damon in the blink of an eye was quite astonishing even for Damon!
Boom!
Nevertheless, his fist sent her flying as it resumed its initial goal but the fighter had raised his weapon over his head to block the attack!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three consecutive explosions erupted and with each explosion, the fighter’s feet sank to the ground! With Damon’s momentum already reduced the fighter mustered enough power to send Damon flying back after a loud scream!
Thud!
Damon landed gracefully while gazing at his wrist. There was a small cut there but it was too small to bleed or for them to notice before it closed up. He gazed at the two twins with newfound respect in his eyes. Even though he is yet to use his lone wolf techniques, there are a handful of people on his level in this world who can trade blows with him when he decides to use his superior strength.
His eyes seemed calm but his heart was alarmed. The same way he was holding back, he could tell these two were holding back as well.
By now people began gathering with astonishment in their eyes. Be it Damon of the Vincent duo they were both well known in the capital. While Damon made a name for himself by killing Luthor wright in the presence of so many nobles and got away with it. This duo were known, not just because of their family name but also because of their skills. They have made a name for themselves in the fighter academy and were far more accomplished than Damon in the outside world.
Seeing Damon fight both alone was terrifying since no one knew he possessed such immense physical strength. They couldn’t help but re-evaluate this young mage again who seemed to be blessed by the divine.
Not only does he have three elements but he also has the ability to cast his shadow magic without incantations and finally he just revealed his intimidating raw strength which can only be seen amongst a long family line of legendary fighters.
With all those talents and gifts packed in the bastard son of a mere Baron, people couldn’t help but feel envious!
Did they offend the creator in their past lives?
