Nice stunt, boy! Quintus looked at Miles with dissatisfaction. Miles, as he planned, won the race by flying over most of the track. Although it should have been impossible by normal ans, technology was part of the track, and Quintus had to foresee this.
What now? He asked.
I will copy your superpower as we agreed, rlin said with a smile.
Hmm, whatever. Quintus snorted and returned to the mansion with the duo. rlin sat beside the old man and touched his forearm.
I hope it works. He was chanting silently. After more than ten minutes, rlins forehead was covered with sweat. Quintus was lying on his sunbed with his eyes closed.
Miles looked at rlin when he sighed in relief. Got it? He asked.
I did. rlin laughed happily as he looked at Miles thankfully. Miles was happy for rlin too.
Go. Now that you stole my power, you can leave alone. Quintus harrumphed unhappily. Miles rose to his feet and wanted to leave, but rlin was still sitting.
I dont know if it's worth anything, but I am sorry and thank you, rlin said. Quintus looked surprised, then angry. But it only surfaced for a short second, before it vanished. rlin left with Miles.
What was that about? Miles asked after they got in the car once again.
He is just a pitiful old man, lost his family. rlin shook his head. Now that I have this passive ability, brother, I wanna try your hand.
Sounds good. Miles shook his head and drove off.
Ready, little brother? rlin asked with a grin.
Bring it on, Miles answered and took a defensive posture. After they returned to the mansion, rlin wanted to test his powers. But rlin insisted on taking elental power before the spar.
rlin dashed towards Miles with fire daggers forming in his hand. Smaller daggers covered the sky as they traveled towards Miles. rlin himself with a dagger in each hand, blazing with flas, reached Miles.
Used the fourth serum? Miles asked in surprise. rlins speed was faster than his peak at Grace-Rank. He dodged the raining daggers and ford a spear with his invisible energy.
Been a few months already. I am planning to use the fifth serum before advancing to Extol-Rank. rlin said as he swung the dagger to Miles's chest. Miles had pointed the spearhead to his head.
rlin was familiar with Royal Blood techniques, so he dodged the spear pretty easily and returned the attack with his dagger aiming at Miles's sides. While his free hand created more and more flas. The fire condensed in the air and ford a wheel of crimson heat. The wheel was a ter in radius and started to spin in the air with great speed.
Wherever the wheel moved, it awakened scorching heat. Miles, at first, wanted to destroy it, but when his spear approached it, he realized it wasnt as simple as he looked.
Dispelling the spear, Miles dodged the attack and dashed at rlin while forming four throwing daggers. He was already familiar with forming and could cast weapons with a thought. When battling with a person who excelled in Heart Branch, the easiest way was to approach the enemy and finish quickly. But rlin wasnt simple either. Although thanks to the fifth serum Miles was a lot faster, rlin, now with Quintuss passive, could see Miless movents in slow motion.
Although they said they would spar, Miles and rlin were battling with their real powers. The only thing they werent using were orbs.
The battle was fast-paced, and techniques were used one after another. Unlike Miles, who wasnt an expert in Heart Branch, rlin was making use of Royal Bloods Heart Branch techniques.
The elental attacks he was using were getting amplification from the energy techniques and forcing Miles's hands. Miles ford a claw covering his nails and used the Frontal Rush. This was the fastest movent technique he had at the mont when it ca to direct charges.
When he appeared behind rlin who was forming fla vines, he swung his claws. Five Fingers Claw Death! Miles used the techniques with both his hands. He only mastered this lately, as it would take a toll on his body to form ten claws.
Ten fissures moved fast. From rlins head, it was cutting the air. Just when it was about to clash with rlins back, flas rose from the latter's back to stop the attack.
When the scorching ball of fire appeared, it blasted Miles away. Miles looked at the flas that were now taking the shape of a bird.
You mastered it? He asked with a smile.
rlin showed him his ultimate once, and he knew the bird was his ultimate. The firebird screeched at the air and clawed at Miles. The claws were burning the air, leaving smoke in their wake.
Miles dodged the attack with a backward leap and looked at the fire with fear. So strong! He couldnt help but exclaim.
Now that I am at the peak of Form-Rank, I have mastered my ultimate fully. Its powers are not bad. rlin walked slowly beside the bird and patted its head. The bird looked alive, as it enjoyed rlins pats.
Miles smiled in excitent, as he charged once again. rlin took a step back, as he wasnt expecting Miles to charge despite seeing his ultimate. The bird cried in irritation and charged at Miles. A giant ball of fire flew out its mouth to Miles.
When Miles realized, the ball of fire was already in front of him. Miles dodged it by hair threads with Frontal Rush. It was shaful to use Frontal Rush for escape, but Miles didnt have such qualms.
He appeared a few ters away from the bird and rlin, only to charge once again. In no ti at all, Miles felt his energy was running low. He was only low-tier, while rlin was pinnacle-tier already. On top of that, rlin had the inner world he got from Rayen, replenishing his energy.
Lets finish it here. Your energy is already depleted. rlin stopped his attack when Miles faltered.
Okay. Miles panted heavily as he collapsed to the ground.
