Chapter 205 - Youth 3 VS 3 Battle Part 7
"Hahaha, you really think you could hit me with your puny sneak attack" mocked Mason as he looked at Adam's arms that were heavily burnt.
"My flames will kill you all and I will become the Epstein Family Head" declared Mason.
Adam despite the pain and anger was still in control of his mind and calm, but if he really wanted to win this battle for his team without suffering any casualties or severe injuries, he needed to use everything at his disposal.
Adam was masked and hooded and it would be very difficult to find out who he was, and even if one was able to, Adam was quite confident in his power and had formed quite a few connections.
Because of that, he wasn't worried about people seeing what he was capable of, but the only ability he wasn't willing to or going to use unless he was on the verge of death and had no other choice was the Unique Collector Skill.
With it, he could summon a powerful and skilled beast that was at the same cultivation level as him, but it would be too shocking and unusual to use and he had no way to explain how he was able to do so.
He also couldn't explain how the Step Skill worked as it didn't even make sense to him, who was using it, but it wasn't as shocking as summoning a beast.
Unique Skills were unexplainable and incredible things that were gifted to him by the system, and made it so that he could defeat cultivators that were much more powerful than him.
Activating his Bloodlust Characteristic, Adam wasn't planning on using any of its extensions or allowing it to take complete control of his mind, but he needed the power boost and recovery speed that it granted.
It also enhanced his physical senses and in that state, he became similar to an enraged beast that had only one desire, to kill.
He could feel adrenaline along with the desire to kill pumping through his veins and flooding every area of his body as he felt a tingling feeling around his arms as they visibly began to heal.
Adam knew that the system wouldn't inform him everything about what he was capable of and he needed to use his abilities and explore their limits if he wanted to find out what they were capable of.
In the same way that Unique Skills were unexplainable, so was the Bloodlust Characteristic that somehow used and enhanced his desire to kill, but in the process enhanced his entire body and made him turn into a savage beast.
His killing intent shocked them all, and even through the barrier, the crowd could feel it and it made it harder for all of them to breathe as they looked at the masked figure that looked like even more of a demon.
"How does one even get a killing intent that strong?" wondered the crowd and all of those in the arena with him.
"He must have killed thousands in order to have such a killing intent" uttered those that knew about killing intents and how they were formed.
It was an aura of death around an individual and usually, the more people the individual killed and the more death that the individual had witnessed, the stronger the killing intent they can release.
Angela, Cole, Wayde and William were the most shocked by Adam's killing intent and all of them would be shocked by what Adam was capable of each and every time that he did something.
Cole knew that Adam had only been cultivating for around 2 months, so how was able to get such a strong killing intent in 2 months unless he had been on a killing spree and killed everybody that he saw.
But he also knew that Adam was quite kind-hearted and was quite sure that Adam wouldn't kill for no reason, so it didn't add up.
However, since they were in the middle of the most important battle in their lives and since he was also fighting with them, they suppressed their thoughts and questions until after their battle.
"You said that you wanted to kill us, so it is only fair that I reciprocate the same to you and the rest of your team" stated Adam as his arms visibly began to heal.
"What the hell! How are your arms healing already?!" exclaimed Mason.
All 5 of the other youths had stopped battling and turned to Adam, since his killing intent was too overwhelming to ignore and seeing his arms, the burn marks and blisters were beginning to very slowly recover.
"Your puny flames can't harm me" mocked Adam.
Since the battle had paused for a few seconds, it was the perfect opportunity for Adam to assist his team in regaining control of the battle as he bolted to Cole's side and signalled for Angela to do the same.
Adam's eyes and killing intent, which were demonic and enough to cause an ordinary person to easily lose consciousness, scared Angela, but she snapped out of her feeling of fear and rushed over towards Cole.
She was using some sort of water or ice under her fight and using it to skate above the ground and although it seemed very simple, it was a very useful Movement Skill that required lots of practise and control.
Adam, Cole and Angela grouped up and Martha, Damian and Mason did the same, both the teams wanting to fight together to defeat the opponents that were stronger than they had expected.
"Listen, I will try and engage them in close combat with my daggers, you two support me from behind and try to push them back with your elemental affinities. Focus on ranged attacks and use your abilities to help me dodge an attack as I also have limitations to y abilities" instructed Adam, hinting that he couldn't repeatedly and continuously use the ability that they thought was teleportation.
