Chapter 126 Arin vs Valtor
"Let's finish this quickly, shall we?"
Valtor gripped his sword tightly, his gaze fixated on Arin. He didn't even want to let him out of his sight.
Arin raised his right hand as Water Spikes and Blood Spikes formed above him. And with a flick of his fingers...
WHOOSH!
They rushed towards Valtor with incredible speed.
Seeing the attacks, Valtor squinted his eyes as dark spikes quickly formed behind him, just as many as Arin's spikes.
WHOOSH!
His own spikes also rushed forward, heading towards Arin's attacks.
BOOM!
Instantly, both attacks clashed in the air, destroying each other.
Valtor crouched, and with a burst of speed, he began closing the distance between him and Arin, a confident but cautious look in his eyes.
Arin smirked as he bent his knees slightly, taking a stance, and then...
BOOM!
The ground beneath him shattered as he dashed towards Valtor, who was also incoming.
Their eyes locked as they reached each other, ready to strike.
Arin activated the Chaos Shroud Spell, making Chaos Mana wrap around his right arm, giving him a 3 percent additional defense and damage.
With his strengthened arm, he swung his sword with great force. Valtor didn't back down; he also swung his own sword, which was shrouded with dark energy.
Their swords moved towards each other, sending ripples in the air, and finally...
CLANG!
A loud clanging sound was heard as sparks flew from the clash of both swords.
Valtor, once again, leaped back, but Arin didn't give him any chance this time.
He dashed towards Valtor with his sword raised. Before reaching him, he leaped up, his sword coming down with full force.
Seeing this, Valtor quickly utilized his dark energy, forming a barrier around him.
In that same moment, Arin's sword reached him.
BOOM!
Immediately as Arin's sword came in contact with the dark energy, a small explosion sound was heard.
The barrier seemed to be pushing Arin's sword back, and immediately Arin noticed this, he grinned.
Still mid-air, he activated his Aura Skill, and a red aura instantly enveloped him. He quickly spread that aura to his sword, adding force.
Because of this, the force trying to push his sword back was becoming less effective, and within seconds...
BOOM!
Valtor's barrier shattered, leaving him open again.
Though, immediately his barrier shattered, he leaped back, distancing himself.
Arin and Valtor both stared at each other, their eyes intense.
"I still have some tricks," Valtor said, his eyes still fixated on Arin.
Arin squinted his eyes. "You sure are confident...."
Suddenly...
WHOOSH!
Black portals, similar to the one behind Arin, began appearing around them, forming a circle around them. The only difference was that a small hum was coming from the portals.
Arin looked around, staring at the portals, and that was when Valtor flicked his fingers.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Dark spikes instantly began coming out from all the portals with intense speed, heading straight toward Arin.
Immediately after passing Valtor, Arin increased his landing speed.
BOOM!
The ground cracked from the force of Arin's landing, and the moment he landed, he raised his right hand, instantly catching his sword that just came down.
This was why he made sure to land quickly—so he could reach the ground before his sword and catch it.
Valtor had already turned back, looking at Arin with fear evident in his eyes. Refusing to back down, he gripped his sword and was about to turn back fully to dash towards Arin, but then...
"You've lost already," Arin murmured, though Valtor was able to hear it.
Valtor shivered. "W... What are you talking about?"
Valtor didn't wait for Arin to reply. He instantly swung his sword, sending slashes made of dark Energy rushing towards Arin.
Unfazed, Arin began walking forward. "There's something I was almost forgetting to try..."
"Arcane Chaos...."
Instantly, a wave of purple Energy erupted from Arin's body, spreading out in all directions.
The first set of slashes that had almost reached Arin suddenly began changing trajectory.
Some veered to the left, some to the right, while others even reversed their path—heading straight back towards Valtor himself.
"W... Wh.... What is the meaning of this.....?" Valtor stammered, his grip on his sword tightening. "I don't understand....."
A shiver ran down his spine, but he refused to stop attacking. He quickly conjured more spikes and slashes, launching them toward Arin with even greater intensity.
However, the result was the same.
Before they could reach him, they suddenly shifted in random directions, their paths twisting unnaturally. Some flew off into the distance, others circled around harmlessly, and many even rebounded back at him.
The few that managed to stay on course and reach Arin were effortlessly deflected with simple flicks of his sword.
Valtor's mind raced as panic set in. His heart pounded in his chest as his eyes burned with dark Energy. 'There's one more thing I can do...'
Instantly, the dark Energy surrounding his body surged, increasing in intensity. His entire frame trembled as if struggling to contain the sheer power gathering within him.
At the same time, the dark Energy around him began shifting unnaturally. Like living tendrils, it extended and expanded, stretching outward as though forming additional limbs.
A wicked grin crept onto Valtor's face as he burst into crazed laughter.
"Hahaha! This is it for you! You'll perish her—"
"Shut the hell up."
"Huh?"
Valtor barely had time to process the words before—
WHOOSH!
Arin suddenly appeared in front of him, closing the distance in an instant.
Valtor's breath hitched as his mind struggled to comprehend the sheer speed at which Arin had moved. His eyes darted downward, and that's when he felt it—
Arin's right hand was pressed firmly against his face, his sharp claws digging lightly into Valtor's forehead, scraping against his skin.
A wave of terror crashed over Valtor as he met Arin's gaze.
Arin's eyes glowed a deep, menacing red as he leaned in, whispering coldly—
"I told you that you've lost already, right...?"
And in that instant...
BAM!
Arin slammed Valtor's head on the ground with immense force, instantly spreading cracks across the ground.
Letting go of his head, he pointed his sword at Valtor, and without saying anything, he stabbed his forehead, killing him instantly.
Before Arin could move, the system screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
