Chapter 196: Operation Kingmaker Part 7
With no other choice left, Chief Kylo brandished his sword to launch an offensive attack.
Whoosh!
Clang!
Charles immediately blocked the attack while gritting his teeth.
Even though Chief Kylo is fully exposed to the drowsy toxic mist around them, his strength actually remained unaffected.
As a result, Charles can't help slowly taking steps back as he was being pushed away.
Needless to say, Kayn and the others didn't just stay idle and watch on the sideline.
Whoosh!
Kayn hurled a pair of daggers with precision, targeting Chief Kylo's hand that tightly grasped the Kingmaker sword.
Seeing the incoming pair of daggers, Chief Kylo immediately jumped back to dodge it.
The instant the dagger passed by his front, he immediately hurled himself at Kayn.
"Kill the leader and this bunch will become a headless chicken," Chief Kylo muttered with a smirk on his face. He already knew that the man in front of him is the leader of this thieving group.
"As if it's that easy," Kayn took out the Molten Ice Sword from his Storage Ring.
The instant the sword was taken out, Chief Kylo immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him.
"Kayn?" Chief Kylo was surprised. It hasn't been a month yet and the young man who could only watch from the rear line is now in possession of a strength that's capable of standing against his way.
"Took you long enough to realize," Kayn smirked under the mask while at the same time brandishing his sword to defend.
Clang!
A loud sound of metal hitting another metal echoed sharply.
"Do you seriously think that you are now capable enough to defeat me?" Chief Kylo ridiculed. "Your way above your head if you think so,"
Chief Kylo pushed his arm to throw Kayn away.
Kayn instantly retreated. But using the momentum of his retreat, he pushed both of his legs on the wall to lunge himself forward as he brandished his sword.
<<Molten Ice Slash>>
Swoosh!
A fiery and freezing sword wave came rushing in Chief Kylo's direction.
<<Royalty Slash>>
Swoosh!
Chief Kylo swiftly responded with the Kingmaker's version of a sword wave.
Boom!
Swizzle!
The <<Molten Ice Slash>> was easily cut in half by the <<Royalty Slash>>.
Kayn long already expected such a result, so the moment he used the <<Molten Ice Slash>>, he immediately rolled to the right and prepared himself for another attack.
As a result, the <<Royalty Slash>> collided with the wall, effortlessly piercing through and seamlessly transitioning from one room to the next. In the end, it stopped after hitting the wall of the sixth room.
Gilbert and the others were shocked and can already imagine the result if they had received the attack head-on. Jadiel had the worst expression considering that he was a tank.
Contrary to them, Kayn didn't panic nor even showed the slightest change in his emotions.
<<Sword Dance>>
<<Temperature Reset>>
<<Sword Dance>>
A series of skills were used in a blink of an eye.
"Take this!" Kayn exclaimed with a brandish of his Molten Ice Sword.
<<Molten Ice Slash>>
WHOOOSH!
This time, a fiery and freezing sword wave that carried thrice its original power came hurling at Chief Kylo.
Chief Kylo doesn't need to receive the improved version of the <<Molten Ice Slash>> to understand how dangerous it is.
<<Royalty Barrage>>
Bang! Bang!
A series of piercing strikes were quickly sent flying to the <<Molten Ice Slash>>.
It was useless though as they all just got evaporated upon touching the sword wave.
Although that wasn't Chief Kylo's goal. He simply wanted to slow it down and buy him enough time to jump away.
Whoosh!
Similar to the <<Royalty Slash>>, the <<Molten Ice Slash>> soon collided with the wall and came crashing from one wall to another. Though compared to the <<Royalty Slash>>, the <<Molten Ice Slash>> didn't stop on any wall and instead destroyed the wall of the Wing Boots Auction House and continued flying to the clouds.
In contrast to the ceaseless momentum of the <<Molten Ice Slash>>, the ongoing battle persisted without any indication of coming to a halt.
The instant Chief Kylo landed, he quickly raised the Kingmaker again to block three attacks from Gilbert, Charles, and Jericho.
Chief Kylo parried Gilbert away, then he kicked Charles to the side, and lastly, he turned his sword to make its body into a shield to block the bullet coming from Jericho's magic gun.
However, what Chief Kylo didn't expect was for another figure to suddenly hurl in his direction from the side.
Gritting his teeth, Chief Kylo increases the speed of his swing to block the incoming attack.
Bang!
As a result of an unstable swing, Chief Kylo's hand that's holding the Kingmaker shook and his fingers nearly let the sword go.
Bang! Bang!
It didn't just stop there though as two more bullets unexpectedly hit the hilt of the sword. Because of that, a kinetic force was sent to Chief Kylo's hand that caused him to slip into his grasp.
Fortunately, Chief Kylo's other arm was free, so he quickly swung it to catch the hilt of the Kingmaker.
It was at this moment that Chief Kylo remembered that the goal of these people wasn't to kill him but to steal the Kingmaker away.
Too bad that it was already too late for Chief Kylo to remember that again.
Whoosh!
Boom!
Chief Kylo's back was hit by a searing pain after receiving a direct hit from Jude's <<Blaze>> spell.
Since his other hand hasn't clasped the hilt of the Kingmaker tightly yet, Chief Kylo instantly let it go when he was blasted away.
In the next moment, an invisible kick from Natas hit the hilt of the Kingmaker causing it to come hurling in the direction of Kayn who was currently running forward with everything that he got to catch the sword.
Kayn easily caught the Kingmaker with his hands and without any hesitation, all six of them immediately jumped out to the balcony of the VIP room 23.
Chief Kylo tried his best to catch them, but under the lead of Jericho who knows the Wing Boots Auction House like the back of his hand, they were able to quickly slip away.
The last thing that Kayn's group heard was Chief Kylo's loud roar that carries along the emotion of regret, rage, hatred, sorrow, and disbelief.
