Chapter 396 Kill You With My Toe
Safa was watching her opponent carefully on the bridge, she held her spear firmly, thinking back to everything her teacher had taught her. Unfortunately, during the last month or so, she hadn't had a lot of time perfecting her skills.
Instead, she had been focusing on magic, but she was sure of it, the magic that Raze had taught her, the book of spells he had given her to learn, they weren't useless.
'Raze was able to top the main disciples even though he was a lower stage than them at the time, and that was all because of magic, so I should be able to do the same.'
The attacker rushed in with a sword held in his hand, and he went to strike from above with a powerful blow. She could feel the attack was filled with Qi.
'Watch the movements of energy in his body following.' Safa carefully looked at every detail, and then lifted her spear above, blocking the attack.
Her feet buckled from the power, and she felt another kick to her side, hitting her and sending her to the edge. Her body was hurt, but she continued to look at the attacks and flow of Qi again.
This time, a blow to the side. She shifted back while hitting the sword away with her spear but was a little too late. Part of the sword had made a large slash on her arm.
Safa continued this process, getting hit by her attacker, while watching everything carefully with her god eyes, the special talent she had been given. However, the wounds were building up, and a lot of blood was being lost on the floor.
"Do you really want to do this?" The attacker asked. "You would rather struggle and die a painful death, rather than a simple one. It's quite clear that you are going to die either way, with all the wounds it looks like you can hardly stand!"
It was true she had been cut pretty badly. What she had also done was figured out his attacks.
'With the god eyes, I can see the flow of Qi moving. It's slightly different depending on which attack he uses. Because of that I can predict where he's going to strike. Even if I'm a bit slower than him, I can fully block the attack.'
Safa went ahead to test this theory as her attacker charged forward again, and then with the spear, she thrust it forward. She had hit the sword which was swung from above, at the perfect point to hit it back.
The attacker quickly gathered himself though and then went to swing from the side. This time, Safa had ducked before the attack even finished and managed to move out of the way.
She rolled on the floor and was now behind the attacker, but he quickly turned around since he was unhurt, but was a little perplexed by the situation.
"You've somehow managed to figure out my movements, you are talented. It's a shame though, that it had come at the cost of badly wounding your body. Even if you know what I'm going to do." The attacker bent his knees slightly, and launched forward swinging the sword from below.
Safa could see the movements of energy and swung her spear down, but the power knocked her spear up, causing her to fall backward. As soon as her body hit the floor though, she back-rolled and went straight back up onto her feet.
"You'll buckle soon enough!" The attacker said, charging forward again.
"I guess, it's been long enough, this is my chance! Full Restore!" Safa shouted, and a light went over her whole body. In that moment, the cuts on her body, the bruises and more all started to return to the way they were once before.
The attacker's pace was slowing as he could see this, it was something he had never witnessed before. He had seen wounds healing at a fast rate, but this was beyond fast.
'I am now a 3-star mage, and I can perform stronger level spells! You can hurt and attack me as much as you want, but I will just heal myself again and again!'
For Raze the Dark Magus, the number one type of mage that he hated to go against were Light Mages, and it wasn't because Light was naturally strong against Dark Magic.
After all, Raze had a number of other Affinities he could use, but it was because fighting Light mages were tedious. They could constantly heal themselves, and heal the others around them.
They were the most difficult and the ones that took the longest to kill, and if you gave a Light Mage long enough, they would eventually find a way to win.
With her full strength, Safa moved forward, and she could see that the attacker was going for a thrust this time, but she wanted to get a big hit in. She moved to the side, and the sword had pierced through her stomach.
With the spear, she had shoved it forward, and had hit the attacker's shoulder. With her strength, she had pushed the attacker back and the sword had come out from part of her stomach.
Immediately she placed her hand on the wound and started to heal it up.
"You damn monster!" The attacker said as he pressed firmly against the wound on his shoulder. "You need to be taken in, and your body dissected. How is it possible you can do something like that!"
Annoyed at the wound he had received, the attacker charged forward again. Leaping from his position, and aiming right for the head.
"I can do more than heal!" Safa shouted.
She had already thrust her spear forward, before the attacker could even reach her, and at the edge of her spear, it started to light up. A bright light was emitted, covering the entire area.
The attacker was completely blinded, unable to see in that moment, his vision impaired. Before he knew it, there was a sharp pain, and soon he could no longer see at all. As the bright light started to fade, Safa was holding onto the spear, with it having been lodged deep through his head.
She was huffing and panting, having put her all in the thrust. Using the two-step shift she had learned, as well as the other spear techniques with her full strength to end the fight there and then.
She had other spells she could use, but she knew that her Light magic wasn't so destructive, at least the spells she knew. So it was best to finish this with her martial art skills and use the magic as a support.
Pulling her spear out, the body fell to the floor.
"I did it…I managed to beat someone who was at a higher stage than me…I did so using the magic that Raze had taught me."
Almost immediately she fell to her knees. They bounced on the hard ground. She was too relieved to even feel the throbbing pain.
"I wonder, if Raze saw me, if he would compliment me for what I did." Safa's face was turning a little red. She imagined the body of her older brother patting her on her head, saying the words, 'You did a good job.'
Soon she had to shake her head though, as she stood up and walked over to the body.
"Why did I even get attacked? Is the same thing happening to the others? They could be in danger, and need healing quick! I have to get to them, I just hope that they are all alright."
---
Royo, the vice head of the Lethal Bite Clan, wanted to finish his duties fast. He didn't like the idea of fighting someone in the initial realm. It was against many of his principles. If others found out about this, he would have to hold his head down in shame.
However, it was an order from the Clan head, so he did what he needed to do. He wanted to make it painless, charging in he slashed his sword down, removing the student's arms.
Right after following up, Royo went to thrust his sword through the student's head. It pierced through the eyepatch, it went further in, until his sword felt a slight resistance.
"You're using the tip of your skull?" Royo said, having stopped his attack.
Liam had tilted his head forward, making the edge of the blade that had already cut through his eyepatch, hit the bone of his skull, of his eye socket, trying to stop the blade.
It wasn't that Royo couldn't continue to cut through, it was just that he was so impressed that he had stopped.
"You trying to live even now, even with the state you're in?" Royo asked.
Liam was bleeding relatively heavily from his arms, and his bad eye, it was in pain as he was looking at the ground.
"I lost my eye once, do you think losing my arms will do much!" Liam shouted back. "Whatever I lose, I'll find a way to fight back, so If you don't kill me now, I f*cking kill you with my big toe if I have to!"
Liam pushed with his legs, pulling away, but he felt like it was the inevitable, how could he beat a vice clan head? And with no arms. What he was surprised at was the fact that Royo didn't give chase.
"I was trying to be nice," Royo said, placing his sword back in his sheath. "I was trying to give you a quick end, with your arms like that, you will now bleed to death."
Liam could feel it, his vision was blurring, his legs they felt weak, and his whole body, it was feeling incredibly chilly but there was one more odd sensation.
"My neck," Liam said, as he could feel a strange heat inside. "Why, does my neck hurt!" Specifically, it was a certain spot, the back of his neck that was in pain.
