Although there was a person inside the carriage, right now, I was in no position to protect him/her while fighting.
Therefore, I decided to focus on the battle without thinking about anything else.
"Fuck! If you want to play like that, I am in. Let me drink your blood."
After he said that, he took his position again.
/SWOOSH/
And dashed me with a fast speed.
/CLANK/
Blocking the strike that came to me with a precise movement, I countered with my own stab.
/CRACK/
However, as my attack was about to hit him, a pillar made from earthen mana appeared right beside my attack, nullifying it.
'He is not using his magic well, only focusing on it bluntly.'
With my eyes processing every bit of information shown around me, I concluded.
'His magic is not his main focus.'
/SWOOSH/
Then another attack followed with a fast sweep.
/CRACKLE/
Making me need to get away from the attack since I gave him an opening.
Therefore, using the lightning mana I imbued to my foot, I disappeared from the place at a fast speed.
/CRACK/
And that proved to be the right decision since the place I was in was spread into two.
"You are good…. Just as I wanted to….. Let me drink your blood."
When he talks like that, there is a bright red glint appearing in his eyes.
'He is already losing his control over his emotions. Evil Spirit must have spread its control.'
/CLANK/
'A sweep from the right.'
Blocked.
/CLANK/
'From above.'
Blocked.
/SWOOSH/
'Now, he will use his earthen magic.'
Evading the earth lance that he conjured while fighting, I saw an opening.
'Now, his chest is wide open.'
/SLASH/ /CUT/
With a precise slash, I threw at his right-lower abdomen; I made a slight cut here.
/SWOOSH/
However, he ignored the pain that came with it.
'His senses are slowly being closed to pain. A stronger stimulation is needed.'
The reason why, when a person gets the first attack, the fight would be in his favor is related to pain management.
Because when pain is involved, the human brain and mind might not be in peak condition to focus on logical judgment, which is an essential thing in life-and-death battles.
And even the strongest people in this world have limited pain tolerance, let alone such a simple criminal.
Therefore, with enough push, you can make the person in front of you lose his/her control by pain.
Which was what I was aiming for.
'Let me figure out how you fight for now.'
But, to formulate such an event, I first needed to analyze how he fought, which won't take for long, seeing the way he swung his scythe.
So, I started confronting him while refraining from making hasty judgments, making the fight enter an equilibrium state.
A state where one is pushing while the other one is defending.
Then with a counterattack, the one that was defending this time would turn into an attacker position, changing the roles.
/CLANK/ /CLANK/
The confrontation went on just like that while my eyes analyzed his movements and the way he used his magic.
'It is also a good opportunity to see how others are using their own magic while fighting in close combat.'
That was what I had in my mind.
The fight I was having right now was nothing but a tool for me to train myself since the man in front of me didn't have the qualifications to hurt me.
/SWOOSH/
Dodging the sweep he threw at me, I increased the distance.
Thanks to the fight that was equal with me not giving him any opportunity to finish his moves, he was slowly getting enraged.
"Fuck! HOW LONG YOU ARE GOING TO RUN FOR!"
With that loud shout, he imbued his earthen mana into his food while also releasing a fire mana from there.
/SWOOSH/ /BOOM/
Blasting himself off, appearing in front of me in the blink of an eye.
/CRACKLE/
But, of course, when it comes to speed, I am the best; at least, it is something I am best at.
'Now, let's break this equilibrium. I have already figured out how you fight.'
/CLANK/
'Now, you will lower your right leg to make a strong sweep.'
Which was something he had done before.
With my sword blocking his scythe, I threw a kick into his knee in an attempt to make him lose his balance.
/THUD/
Which was effective since the scythe he was using was a bit heavy, and his posture was in a bad state.
"HA!"
With a thud sound, he fell to the ground, with his posture being broken momentarily.
'Annihilation Sword. Bladesurge.'
Then following this moment, I took my position again.
/SWOOSH/
And then attacked him on his chest, stabbing him with my sword.
/SPORT/
Making blood spurt from the wound.
"AAAAH! FUCK!"
Of course, thanks to the pain coming, he shouted with his eyes bloodshot.
This was what I was aiming for.
With his primitive emotions taking control over his mind, he is going to lose his mind even with the slightest bit of pain coming through.
/SWIRL/
The blood started swirling around, with blood red aura flowing through his face.
"Hey! Don't use it right now! You are in no condition to use it!"
The sound of the weapon came not long after.
'Just as I expected, he is using something he shouldn't use. Though, the tone of the weapon was not concerned, rather it was joyful?'
"GRAAAAA!"
The roar of a beast soon followed with each blood swirl, entering his scythe, conjuring a bubble of blood in front of me.
"Now, let's finish this."
The attack that was about to come would probably be his strongest attack.
/SWOOSH/ /SWIRL/ /CRACK/
The earthen mana flowed through the bubble of blood, with fire mana also swirling around it.
"TAKE THIS!"
/DING/
With a loud shout, he threw a beam at me.
Of course, while he was throwing that at me, I was not staying idle either.
'Sword of Annihilation. Null Space.'
Taking the position of defending, I dashed at him, confronting him with my sword…
