Chapter 228 Moonlight Sword
Woosh!
Jack moved towards Xan at high speed making the dust fly below his feet, his speed was terrifying and domineering.
"Hmph! You think you can defeat me with this bit of power?" Xan snorted and suddenly a purple-coloured sword appeared in his hand.
Florence looked at the sword and her eyes widened. "Xan!" She yelled with a worried expression on her face.
"I can handle it, Miss Florence." A smile formed on his face as he slashed the purple sword towards Jack.
Jack on the other hand could feel a sharp power emitting from the sword. His scalp turned numb and his eyes widened.
'This sword! It's dangerous!' He tried to stop midway, however, it was already too late, and the sword slash landed on his chest.
Slash!
A fountain of blood spurted from his chest as Jack's body flew backwards and landed on the floor. Veins popped on his forehead as he felt needles stinging in his whole body.
Madam Florence and the other guys looked at Xan with their eyes wide.
"Xan! Have you gone mad?! This is the moonlight sword of the Queen, you don't have the authority to use it!" Madam Florence said with a shocked expression.
She never thought that Xan would dare to use Nicole's sword.
"Brother Xan, you are committing blasphemy against the Queen, you should put the sword back!" One of the other back-hooded people said and removed their hood. He was a blonde-haired guy, his tone containing a bit of anger and worry.
"Hmph! This sword was created to draw blood out of the Queen's enemies, I am doing the Queen a favour!" Xan yelled and looked at Jack with a disdainful expression.
"Still! This is not something you should use lightly, it could have consequences." Florence said as she gulped her saliva.
"Madam Florence is right Xan, you can go crazy if you use this sword too much, it will devour your soul." The blonde guy said.
"Nothing will happen." There was a crazed expression on Xan's face as he stepped forward and looked at Jack with a smile on his face. "Let me extinguish him and offer his blood to the Queen."
Jack on the other hand looked up and felt that his blood had stopped flowing out because of his superior healing abilities, given by his Ero Meter.
However, the stinging pain was still there.
Clenching his fist he stood up and moved a step back, sweat forming on his forehead. "That sword! It's Dangerous."
Swish!
His body turned into after images and soon he was a distance away from Xan. 'I can't fight him in close rage!'
Jack could feel his stomach churning from the pain. 'At this rate, I will die for sure.' His eyes glanced at the water shield behind him and took in a deep breath.
"There is nowhere to run you hoggilian! I will take revenge for Seven!" Xan said with a wide smile on his face as the sword in his hand flashed with a cold gleam.
"Xan, you should stop, we can still use Pyro Circle on him." Madam Florence said with a worried expression.
"There is no need for that!" Xan said in a loud and determined voice and raised his sword. "Get ready to die." He said as his sharp gaze landed on Jack.
The other people in the group stayed silent, they knew that Xan was a powerful and arrogant guy, and he would never back down no matter what happened.
"That guy is dead..." The blonde-haired guy murmured as he looked at Jack. "Finish him quickly Xan, or the sword with overpower your soul." He said.
Jack clenched his fist, he could feel a deathly aura from the sword. He was sure that if another hit landed on him then he would die here for sure.
He didn't wanna die just yet, he had already faced much hardship in the other dimension.
"Get ready to die!" Xan said and strode towards Jack at a fast speed.
Jack looked at him and gritted his teeth. "I have to escape this situation." He thought and looked around and his gaze landed on the stones on the ground.
He quickly moved towards them and picked them up.
"Are you gonna throw stones now?" Xan chuckled and increased his speed even more.
"He would never be able to hit Xan with those stones. Xan was a stealth expert back in the day." The blonde hair guy said as he looked at Jack with a mocking expression.
"He is such a fool! Trying to Hit Xan with a long-range weapon." Another guy from the group chuckled.
Even Miss Florence relaxed when she saw Jack picking up a stone, she was confident in Xan's dodging skills, after all, he was the most talented assassin in their group, and it was hard for someone to hit him from long range when he is standing still let alone when he is running.
Jack on the other hand didn't listen to their words and stayed silent, focusing, he raised his hand and looked for the green panel. 'I have to get that sword out of his hand!' He thought.
Xan was closing in on him at an extreme speed and just when he was five meters away, Jack suddenly saw the green panel and threw the stone with all his force.
Woosh!
The big stone flew at high speed, piercing the air.
Xan on the other hand had a mocking smile on his face. "You will never hit me!" He said and dodged left to the stone trajectory.
However, to his surprise, the stone suddenly turned left because of its high spin.
Boom!
The stone hit the hilt of the sword with a loud bang!
Xan, who had a mocking smile on his face saw the sword flying out of his hand and his eyes widened. Then a shocked expression appeared on his face.
This was the first time someone had managed to hit him while he was moving.
'How did he know that I was gonna turn left?!' He was bewildered. There was no way to know his path however Jack predicted it accurately and threw the stone in the same trajectory.
It was as if he was seeing the future!
The blonde-haired guy looked at the moonlight sword flying in the air and his jaw dropped on the floor. "Brother Xan got hit?!" He was shocked.
The others in the group also looked at Jack as if he were a monster.
Even Madam Florence had a shocked expression on her face. She never expected Xan to get hit with a long-range weapon. However, what shocked her next was the fact that Jack was already moving towards the flying sword to catch it.
"Xan! Don't let him catch the sword!" Madam Florence yelled as she looked at Jack with a terrified expression.
Even the other members of the group looked at Jack with their eyes wide, however, none of them dared to step forward as they had all seen the condition of Seven after a single punch from Jack.
Xan was stupefied for a second because of Jack's attack and when heard Florence's words, he turned around and looked at Jack.
His eyes widened and clenching his teeth he also jumped towards the sword. However it was already too late, Jack caught the sword soon enough and looked at Xan with his ferocious eyes.
Bang!
Jack's hand moved and he punched Florence straight in the face, throwing him a distance away.
"Xan... He is defeated... By a single puch?!" The blonde-haired boy murmured as he looked at Xan lying in the distance. Blood was flowing out of his nose.
The other people in the group were even more scared, some even started shaking in their place when they saw the cold gleam in Jack's eyes.
"Quick! Pyro Circle, right now!" Madam Florence yelled as she moved both of her hands forward.
The other guys listened to her and nodded while gulping their saliva and then they also moved their hands forwards.
Jack looked at them with his brows furrowed, he couldn't tell what they were doing.
Madam Florence suddenly took out a small dagger from her pocket, it had a red stone embedded in its hilt. And its presence was enough to raise the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
Jack looked at the dagger with his eyes narrowed, he could tell that it was dangerous.
"I prepared this Pyro Knife especially for Queen, in case she ever turns on us, however now I have to use it against this boy!" There was a reluctant expression on Florence's face as she started chanting a spell while placing the dagger in her hand.
The other people surrounding Jack also started chanting and then the dagger started flowing up in the air.
The chant was strange and filled with harmony, although Jack didn't know a single word he felt his heart resonating with the words and felt warm.
He could tell that it was a dangerous spell. "I have to stop it before they execute it." Jack raised his hand in which he was holding the moonlight sword and aimed it at Miss Florence
He then looked for the green panel.
