983 Is running away all you are good at?
"Fight!"
As soon as Esme announced, Elijah disappeared, he tried to punch Nux from behind, however, Nux dodged his punch and just smiled.
"You are slower than I expected, Brother Elijah."
"I haven't even started yet." Elijah retorted as he punched again.
"Sure sure, take your time. I will wait patie-"
Nux nodded continuously, soon, however, his expression changed and he disappeared and appeared near the VIP Box his wives were sitting on. Since his feet were still in the air, he didn't lose his eyes, however, Nux barely defended himself this time.
He glanced at the Blood Scythe that Elijah had just created.
Elijah predicted how he would dodge his punch and planned to sever his right arm using that chance, honestly, if the attack had connected, it would have already been considered Elijah's win since severing his arm and beheading his head in that position weren't much different than each other.
"What happened, brother-in-law? I didn't think you would run away so soon." Elijah smiled.
Nux, on the other hand, had a grim look on his face. The move Elijah just used, it was the same move Melia used to behead one of the Great Sages in their fight against the Destiny, this move wasn't used much because of his high mana consumption, so he didn't think Elijah would use this type of move so early in the battle.
"I have high hopes for this battle, brother-in-law. Do not disappoint me." Elijah spoke as he turned into a Bat and flew toward Nux at high speed.
He didn't know how Nux disappeared right in front of his eyes however, he didn't have the time to care, no matter what, Nux had barely managed to dodge his attack, anyone must be flustered by this. He had to capitalize on this situation.
Nux, who saw Elijah rushing towards him in his bat form smiled.
'He is one of the Seven Heroes indeed.'
Then, using [Absolute Step], Nux shot toward Elijah at a surprising speed. Before Elijah could react, Nux slapped his body to the ground.
Vampire's Bat form does increase a Vampire's speed, however, the cost of that is the Vampire's Strength and Defense.
"Khawkkk!"
Elijah, who turned back into his normal form coughed, however, then he noticed that Nux had disappeared from his vision.
His body went into alert mode as he quickly stood up and looked around. Nux, however, was nowhere to be seen.
Elijah frowned.
"Is running away all you are good at?" He questioned as he blinked unconsciously.
Then, Elijah's eyes widened in surprise as he realized that Nux had appeared right behind him with a sword in his hand. He raised his arm to defend against Nux's sword, Blood Armor that only covered his forearm appeared, blocking Nux's sword at the last second.
However,Original content from .
"You shouldn't have blocked that."
[Blink Fault]'s damage was absolute, which meant it ignored all the armors. Once the attack connects, the opponent takes the damage.
"!!!" Elijah's expression changed.
He could feel his right arm trembling and his control over it loosening.
'Not good.'
Elijah jumped back in panic.
"Is running away all you are good at?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
Elijah clenched his fist, then, he dashed towards Nux again.
Suddenly, he dropped around 30 red colored balls on the ground. Nux didn't know what those balls were, however, he didn't have the time to think about it. Elijah had taken out his sword and was unleashing a series of life-
threatening attacks on him.I think you should take a look at
Attacks that even Nux couldn't take lightly.
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
Their swords clashed with each other, Nux could match Elijah's swordsmanship, however, soon, Nux's eyes fell on the ground and his expression changed.
"Are you scared?" Elijah questioned with a ridiculing smirk on his face.
Nux didn't answer, however, his grim expression was enough to tell that the situation was not positive.
He didn't know how this happen, but the entire ground was covered with blood. Nux felt like he was standing in a sea of blood.
A situation where a Vampire was at his strongest.
Blood spikes started forming, however, before they could hit Nux, he jumped into the air.
"You don't think you can get away simply from jumping, right?" Elijah questioned.
"Who said I am just jumping?" Nux smiled.
Then, he stepped onto the air and jumped again, then again, then again, and then reach high enough where the Blood Spikes wouldn't be able to reach him.
Elijah however, hadn't given up. Nux soon noticed around 100 Blood Bats flying towards him. He knew how this ability worked, therefore, a Magic Circle as big as him appeared right in front of him and,
"Wave of Burning Destruction."
Nux activated a 10 Star Spell.
The 100 Blood Bats evaporated in an instant and the wave of flames didn't stop there, it moved towards Elijah, who widened his eyes in surprise.
All the blood under him moved and formed a shield around him.
Elijah prepared for the impact and,
*BOOOOOOM*
A huge explosion was heard.
The intensity of the explosion was so strong that Orpheus himself had to move in order to protect Esme and the audience from being burned away.
The entire stage was soon covered in a sea of flames.
"What in the hell…?"
"Are the two of them really Great Sages…?"
"What kind of absurd fight is this…?"
"I expected Lord Elijah to be this strong since he is one of the seven Heroes but to think the Groom is fighting against him on an equal ground…"
"I know right…? How can a human be this strong…?"
The people couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Hey… is Lord Elijah alright…?"
Suddenly, a person questioned.
Everything in front of them was covered in a sea of flames, the groom could be seen standing in the air, however, Lord Elijah was nowhere to be seen. Most likely he was trapped in the middle of the fire.
"…"
"…"
The entire arena turned absolutely silent, everyone waiting for the flames to die down and the result of the battle to be revealed.
