Chapter 147 147.
It's just unfortunate for them, that the one in front of them was someone who trained his agility by dodging an endless storm of shadow bullets!
None of their attacks could land!
To make matters worse for them Lucius wasn't done yet.
"Roar!!!"
A ferocious cry escaped from Lucius's blood as all of a sudden, Lucius exploded in a shower of crimson thunder!
It was an incomplete transformation, only affecting his arms but still allowing Lucius to attack with a whole new level of power!
Tyler and Chris didn't take any chances
A deep blue light flowed in their eyes as they channelled mana around them forming a reinforced shield to endure Lucius's shield.
And yet despite their preparation, Lucius was like a dragon rushing out to sea! Each attack was slowly forcing the pair of brothers back
You would think that as the battle went on, Lucius would be forced back as he became more tired and desperate but that wasn't the case.
Instead, his storm of attacks became even more brutal!
'What the fuck is wrong with this monster!' Thought Tyler in horror
As the battle went on Lucius' movements didn't lose their ferocity but instead of the attacks of a raging berserker, they were becoming more and more refined, he was achieving a greater mastery of the Vortex dagger technique even in the midst of combat!
Lucius also realised this strange happening. Despite being in a hectic battle that required him to think and act Seconds notice, his mind was somehow becoming clearer the entire time.
Even the blue storm of mana surrounding each sword was becoming denser and smaller showing his mastery of the [Vortex Technique] was rapidly advancing.
It was strange.
Even in the midst of battle as Lucius thought about it he quickly came up with an answer.
Truthfully, it wasn't something Lucius didn't need to think about.
The answer was already deep within inside him, he just had to bring it out
"The blood of the High King…" muttered Lucius
The more Lucius thought about it, the more it made sense.
Barbarians were called berserkers but before they were berserkers, they were a race of fighters.
And whose blood did Lucius have?
The Damn High King!
The greatest fighter to ever walk out of Barbaric wasteland.
The high king had not only united and subjugated all the scattered and ferocious tribes
He was the king of fighters, A being great enough to rumble with ancient dragons, someone great enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the five great heroes who killed a demon king.
If the blood of the Heroes could still grant its descendants multiple strange abilities, who is to say that the Blood of the High King had no more abilities?
[Dragon Berserk] couldn't be the end of it all!
Whatever the story was, it was an undeniable fact that there was a strange talent affecting his body that allowed him to think and function more clearly In the situation.
After the battle, Lucius would have to dig into this deeper. Not just the blood of the High King but the Blood of the Ancient dragon as well.
But Lucius didn't think too much about it anymore.
He had to find a way to crack the tortoiseshell of these two descendants of the Shield Hero in front of him and Lucius might have just found a way.
All of a sudden Lucius sheathed one of his swords.
Lucius had tried this many times in practice and came close to completing but every time he had ended up failing at the last stage.
Now with his strange heightened state of his senses in battle, Lucius didn't think he'd fail anymore.
Lucius only sheathed one sword leaving one more sword to continue using the Vortex technique to fight against the two brothers.
Both brothers instantly felt the pressure in them drop and didn't hesitate to go on the offence.
Using the ferocious shield fighting technique passed down through their family, they easily forced Lucius into a bad situation.
Yet despite this fact, the entire time Lucius was compressing a burst of mana inside his sword sheath.
Buzz! Buzz!
His sword sheath began to rattle and buzz as the pressure inside continued to build up.
'Now!'
All of a sudden a ferocious light burned in Lucius's eyes as his body rushed forward
Within seconds, Lucius was right in front of Chris, the k e he had already knocked out briefly before.
The second, Lucius appeared in his sight, all the hairs on Chris's body stood up.
Every fibre of being was screaming danger!
Chris at this point didn't even think too much and cried out
"Aegis"
A dazzling golden-white light bloomed on his shield
But Lucius didn't care and drew his sword.
[ Bullet Sword ]
"SCREECH!"
The world went blue as a dazzling wave of mana exploded from Lucius's sheath and his words tore through the air
"Boom!"
It was like a bomb had just exploded as a dust cloud formed about d Lucius and Chris's body was sent flying
Chris instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood but he still held on tight to his shield,.
Although the phantom of Aegis around his shield was flickering and his body battered, Aegis hadn't broken, his shield was still-
Before he could finish the thought, Chris's mind froze
He felt like he had just been placed in ice.
He saw them.
Burning dragon eyes that transcended everything!
Screech!
Smash!
Lucius drew his sword painting the world blue and tearing through the shield shattering it into pieces!
The impenetrable shield!
The symbol of strength and protection that had stood strong throughout the history of the empire, right now it was shattered under Lucius's sword!
Landing off the floor, Lucius ignored the twitching body of Chris at his side and it was a good thing he did as well!
Right now, An enraged Tyler was charging straight towards him.
The power of the shield hero was completely activated allowing for the giant hazy image of Aegis to cover his shield
