Chapter 57: Bad Taste in My Mouth
Colt sprang back as Rione leapt towards him and swung his hammer down, which slammed onto the ground with a sharp burst of lightning, before he swiftly fired out a lightning blast from his hand as Colt unleashed a rapid blood spear towards him.
A sharp sizzle rang out before a cloud of red mist erupted as the attacks clashed and canceled out, the blood turning to steam before Colt rapidly extended and whipped a blood tendril towards Rione’s left.
As the tendril closed in on him, he swung his hammer across, another burst of red mist erupting as the hammer struck through the tendril and vaporized it.
"It’s no use...even if he does fail to block one of my attacks, the lightning surrounding his body will vaporize my Blood Spells even if they do hit him," Colt thought to himself, before racing across as large, dancing streaks of lightning came shooting towards him.
"This is dragging on too long, I can’t let this continue...if that young woman with the bones is on the same level as this guy, I’m not sure if Arren and Quila will be able to defeat her. I need to end this quickly," Frowned Rione, before chanting as he shot towards Colt, "[Lightning Spear Scattershot]!"
Colt’s eyes widened in alarm as several rapid lightning projectiles came shooting towards him, crackling through the air violently as they closed in on him.
He managed to evade a couple before narrowly deflecting one with a quick swing of his dagger, before he turned his head across as one closed in on his face, his body stiffening up as it grazed his left cheek, burning his skin and electrocuting him.
He then shifted his weight back and let himself fall, his back hitting the ground with a thud right as Rione closed in on him and swung his hammer across at Colt’s head, narrowly missing as Colt fell back.
Rione then drove the head of his hammer down towards Colt, who quickly rolled away while simultaneously bursting out dozens of blood needles from his body, a few of them hitting Rione’s torso before bursting into wisps of red steam as the lightning wrapped around his body fried them before they could inflict any damage.
Colt swiftly got back onto his feet and whipped his right arm across, firing out a pressurized, slashing wave of blood towards Rione, inflicting a shallow cut across the side of his left arm, the lightning around him vaporizing the Spell before it could cut any deeper into his arm.
He then shot towards Colt again, who ducked as Rione swung his hammer across towards the side of his head, before getting low and planting his palms on the ground and whipping his left foot up and across as Rione raised his hammer and began to charge lightning into it.
