The blonde woman's eyes glead with a mix of amusent and malice. "You are but a pawn in a much grander ga, Lucas. Accept your role, and perhaps your end will co swiftly."
"I'll never accept being a pawn," I declared, my grip on my sword tightening. "I'm not going with you and let be clear I'm going to kill you, right here and now.
In response, she lunged at again. I rushed forward and my sword aim at her heart.
"Haa!"
Slap—!!
she was able to react to my attack and slap away my hand.
I didn't stop there. I willed mana into my right leg and moved it to throw a front kick at the blonde woman.
I had to land at least one critical strike to gain advantage on fight.
However, she anticipated my move and quickly raised her guard to cover her abdon.
I suddenly whipped my leg up and turned the front kick into a quick roundhouse kick.
Thwam—!!!
She was sent crashing to one knee as my kick landed flat on her ear.
Swish, Thruck—!!
Right then, another light-enchanted arrow whistled through the air from behind the bolde won and struck her shoulder blade.
"ARGHHHAAA!"
Kach—!!
Seizing the opportunity presented by her montary vulnerability, I closed the distance with determined speed. My sword glowed with intensified mana as I aid for the opening I had created.
"Haaa!" I swung my sword downward, targeting the vampire's exposed neck.
With a swift motion, she attempted to dodge, but the combination of my attack and the arrow's impact threw her off balance. The blade descended, and in that critical mont, our fates collided.
Clang—!!
The blonde woman managed to raise her claws just in ti, intercepting my blade inches away from her neck. A struggle ensued as we locked eyes, each determined to erge victorious.
Yet, the distraction caused by the arrow's impact had taken its toll. She winced in pain, montarily weakened by the enchanted projectile embedded in her shoulder blade.
"Your end is near," I growled, channeling all my strength into the blade, determined to overco her defenses.
A surge of adrenaline coursed through as I pushed against her resistance. The battle reached its climax, and with a final, decisive thrust, my sword pierced through her defenses, penetrating her heart.
The blonde woman's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. A guttural sound escaped her lips as she crumpled to the ground, defeated.
"Is it over?" Evelyn's voice echoed in the aftermath of the battle, capturing the collective sentint of the team.
Breathing heavily, I surveyed the scene—the fallen blonde woman, the controlled allies now released from her influence, and the exhausted but victorious team.
the people who had been under her mind-control spell began to stir and slowly regain consciousness.
–"What happened?" one of them asked groggily, looking around in confusion. "I was running and then..."
–"My head hurts! Arghh!" another exclaid, clutching their temples in pain.
–"Did I kill soone? I was blacked out... Why am I covered in blood?!" soone else cried out in puzzlent.
As the people gradually regained their senses, they began murmuring and panicking.
Those with weaker ntal fortitude even scread in agony, feeling as though their heads were about to burst open.
On the other hand, those who weren't mind-controlled by that woman weren't in any better shape either.
It's understandable since, even though for a very short period of ti, they had to take on several other cadets at once.
"It's over," I affird, the weight of the battle lifting from my shoulders. The enigmatic threat that had haunted us was vanquished, and in this mont, we stood united against the supernatural forces that sought to control our destinies.
Despite the victory against the blonde woman and the release of those under her mind-control, a sense of urgency gripped as I heard the distant sounds of battle echoing through the main hall. The conflict between that man and Adrian persisted, a reminder that our struggle against the supernatural forces was far from over.
"We're not done yet," I declared, my eyes narrowing with determination. "Adrian and that man are still fighting."
***
'Damnit.' he is strong, the man in front of Adrian is strong, maybe strongest opponents he had ever faced.
The fight between Adrian and this man going way too long for Adrian liking.
'The man is at least D or C- rank…I'm not sure, anymore.'
"Do I have no other choice?"
Gritting his teeth, Kevin hesitated for a second before activating commanding his system.
"System Activate, Bloodlust skill."
[Bloodlust skill is activating.]
[Ding!]
[For two minutes all of host states will be doubled.]
Activating [Bloodlust], Adrian felt every fiber of his body exploding with energy. His muscles bulged, and his veins beca more apparent.
Power coursed through his body.
"Khhh…"
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Adrian glared at the at man and propelled his body forward.
"haaaaa!"
Noticing the change in Adrian, the man confronted Adrian head on with his sword.
-Clank! -Clank! -Clank!
Sword ets Swords!
As they clashed, after a few seconds, Adrian and the man had already exchanged no fewer than three hundred strikes
Adrian strikes were fluent and fast, whilst the man were slow and heavy.
As they fought, neither budged an inch. They were currently in a complete stalemate.
Cuts and bruises appeared on both bodies as they continued to clash.
Blood spilt everywhere.
Neither had the edge, but it was only a matter of ti…
The clash between Adrian and the mysterious man intensified, the air crackling with the tension of their evenly matched battle. Every strike reverberated through the hall, leaving traces of blood and signs of a fierce struggle.
As the two of them exchanged strikes, the effects of Adrian's activated Bloodlust skill beca evident. His movents were more fluid, his strikes faster and more precise. The man, caught off guard by the sudden surge in Adrian's strength, struggled to keep up with the relentless onslaught.
