"Just because I'm a swordsman doesn't mean I can only fight with my sword."
While speaking, he activated his Brilliant Lightning Rush skill, cloaking his entire body in blue lightning and greatly enhancing his speed.
The man kicked off the ground, cratering the spot where he stood as he turned into a streak of blue lightning that zapped through all the airborne rocks and descending lightning strikes.
His strength, agility, reflexes, lightning elemental magic, bestowal, boost and damage nullification were bolstered to new heights, allowing him to make incredibly sharp turns and make manoeuvres that would normally be difficult at his current speed, easily.
**BOOOM!!!
With a sonic boom, he cut through the kilometres of distance in between him and Vazgan in mere seconds, pulling off manoeuvres that would make the law of physics' jaw drop in shock.
Even with Vazgan's enhanced perception, he was unable to do anything about the incoming attack, as the Duke 'appeared' behind him and delivered a sweeping kick that sent the Dullahan king off his feet, before punching him into the ground with so much force that the undead's body bounced back up into the air.
The Outburst skill was forcibly cancelled, however, the Duke moved before the rocks could reach the ground, grabbing Vazgan's neck and running up them before flinging him to the ground with all his strength.
Stretching his arm out and pressing a button on the side of his index finger, his sword flew into his palm and he grabbed it, before activating his unique skill and delivering another thin but deadly slash towards the Dullahan king.
Vazgan barely blocked the incoming slash, however, Duke Charles blitzed to his side and was about to deliver another strike before he was even done blocking.
"Don't fuck with me!!!"
The Dullahan King screamed out and released a burst of death energy, with Duke Charles changing his mind and blitzing away from the undead so as not to be affected by the concentrated death energy.
Vazgan waved his hand and released three different death energy-infused flame spells towards the Duke, who retaliated with his water magic and resulting in a cloud of steam forming.
"Geass of Vengeance!"
The moment the Duke heard Vazgan's shout, he stopped what he planned to do with the steam and held his sword up, just in time to block the slash of the Dullahan King who burst through the steam with so much force that the large cloud of steam was cleared up simply by him passing through.
The two began another high-speed clash, releasing sword strikes with great speed and power behind them as they moved across the ruins of what was once a green savanna.
Amidst the clash, Duke Charles used his rain cutter skill and released a slash at the side of Vazgan's face, forcing his head to turn more than 90 degrees in the opposite direction.
If he was a living being, his neck would have definitely cracked and he would have been dead, but the Dullahan King's head only 'unlocked' and fell off his neck.
Just before Duke Charles' sword could reach it, Vazgan released another wave of cursed sentries to push the Duke back long enough to grab his head and fix it back on his neck.
Vazgan stabilized himself and was about to charge through the dust cloud generated by the Duke's attacks against the sentries, only for a gigantic energy-constructed arm to come through from the side and punch the shit out of him.
The Dullahan king was sent flying into the air for over a hundred metres in an instant, crashing on the ground and rag-dolling for a hundred more, however, his assailants weren't done yet as another large energy-constructed arm came through and punched him forward, sending him in the direction of the Duke who took the hint and unleashed a lightning infused sword slash towards Vazgan.
**BOOM!!!
Vazgan's armour cracked as his body was knocked up into the air, with the Dullahan king barely catching the sight of a teenage boy kicking off the air and shooting towards him.
**BAAAMM!!!
An energy-infused foot landed on the spot where Duke Charles cracked his armour, with the force doubling the speed at with which Vazgan fell to the ground, however, as if that wasn't fast enough, the owner of that foot rose up their other leg and stomped down on Vazgan's body once more.
The instant they landed on the floor, Vazgan momentarily felt the fear of 'true death', along with a pain that made him feel like his soul was being stomped on, right before he heard the voice of a certain hero.
"Collapse."
The unique skill of the former contractor of Greed who was stolen by our resident hero rang was activated, right before said hero vanished and two gigantic energy-constructed swords slashed down onto Vazgan's body one after the other.
**KAAABOOOOMMM!!!!
"Zero Sword!"
The Duke came in to finish the impromptu combo with another thin blue sword slash that widened the crack on Vazgan's armour and caused parts of it (the parts the Duke cut earlier in the battle) to break off completely.
Black blood spurted to the ground as Vazgan rag-dolled on the floor for a few metres, only for our resident hero to reappear behind him and activate a variation of his unique skill.
"Elemental Vortex."
The excited voices of the nearby spirits could be heard as the multi-elemental spiral-shaped mass of magic power slammed into the body of the Dullahan King, shattering even more parts of his armour, directly damaging his body and sending him flying into the air once more.
"GRRRAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
Vazgan bellowed in rage at being tossed around by his multiple opponents, releasing a burst of death aura that repulsed everything in the vicinity, including the Duke who was about to chain in another attack.
The Third Sword landed on the ground and took a deep breath, deactivating his brilliant lightning rush before catching the magic potion bottle that Evan tossed towards him and downing its contents.
"Vindiction's Strikes!!"
The enraged Dullahan King activated a variation of his skill, creating a dozen dark orange portals and launching beams of concentrated aura from each of them towards the ground.
In the face of the barrage of raw energy, the Demon of pride who was standing a few feet from Evan, deactivated her incarnation series skill and took a deep breath.
She then looked up with her eyes glowing blood red, ignoring the slightly surprised gazes Evan and Greed gave her as she stretched out her open palm.
The woman then proceeded to clench her fist, pull her arm backwards and twist her wrist.
It was a very strange set of actions, but what happened next was even stranger than that.
The twelve incoming beams of concentrated aura all turned into large dark orange iron rods that floated in the air for a moment before falling down to the ground.
""Wait...what?!""
Both Duke Charles and Vazgan echoed the same words as what they just saw made zero sense whatsoever, however, Greed and Evan who had expected such a nonsensical scene had already moved, taking advantage of the Dullahan King's surprise.
Greed activated his idiosyncrasy and sucked Vazgan's strength, while Evan used his intimidation skill to temporarily cause Vazgan's movements to halt for a few seconds.
