Chapter 73: Fighting an Abyssal (IV)
Vlad’s eyes narrowed as he focused on the flaming wounds, and awe appeared the next second as he saw how the fire was cauterizing them, stopping the bleeding.
Arasbus was burning himself to stop the bleeding!
It was a truly crazy and dangerous plan, as it required granular control over one’s energy and ability. It would have been very easy for the Abyssal to make a mistake and end up severely wounded and losing the fight. Yet, it worked; all the wounds closed, and while he was still pale, there was no more bleeding.
"Hahaha, it worked. I knew fighting you would make me stronger!" Arasbus burst into laughter as he saw that his idea worked, and now he had gained a skill capable of closing bleeding wounds, making his survival abilities even more powerful.
Vlad, on the other hand, was not happy at all. Those lacerations were the key to his victory, yet they were all gone. Without the blood loss, he had no chance of defeating the Abyssal. To make things worse, not much Force was left inside him, as he had made it burst from the start of the fight, and soon his energy pool would deplete.
"Boom," "Boom," "Boom," "Boom."
As Arasbus struck the ground with his spiked clubs, small blasts echoed across the forest. He was severely wounded and had depleted his energy. However, his body was immensely powerful, and he could still unleash incredible strength, more than enough to overwhelm the young man in front of him.
"Are you ready for the second round, little man?" The Abyssal spoke with a smile. His face was pale due to the previous loss of blood, but it did not diminish the ferocity and brutality that was present in his eyes.
"Ahhhh, it seems I will not achieve victory. Let this be our final clash." Vlad stared at the demon, sighed as he saved the twisted sword, and took a new one. He grabbed the swords with both hands, and there was a light of resolve in his eyes as if the next strike would be the last one.
