Chapter 19: Memory 7 / 8
Cadogan and Matiane charged at each other, their weapons clashing with explosive force. Every swing of their blades sent shockwaves through the air, destroying the buildings around them. The city crumbled as if it were made of sand, turning into ash from the sheer power of their fight.
Cadogan pushed forward, his eyes glowing green as he activated Cheetah Steps. His body moved at incredible speed, faster than the eye could follow. But Matiane just laughed, his red Neba flaring with confidence.
"Cadogan, are you mocking me?" Matiane sneered as he dodged the attack effortlessly. "Don't you dare use Green Neba against me, you fool!"
With a wide slash of his sword, Matiane unleashed a massive red shockwave that roared through the air. Cadogan had to react instantly, switching back to his Blue Neba core.
The icy blue glow surrounded him as he narrowly dodged the attack. The shockwave passed just inches away, leaving destruction in its path.
Cadogan steadied himself, his jaw tightening. *That was close* he thought. *This guy is insanely strong. Most Blue Neba users wouldn't last a second against him.*
Determined not to back down, Cadogan surged forward again. "Red Core: Bullseye." His speed doubled as he shot toward Matiane like an arrow, aiming straight for his chest.
But Matiane dodged again, smirking as if this was nothing. Cadogan didn't stop. In an instant, he switched, activating his Blue Zeten ability. "Leviathan's Bite."
Hundreds of glowing blades materialized around Cadogan, floating like a shimmering wall of ice.
"Oho... These aren't blades," Matiane muttered, narrowing his eyes. "They're Leviathan's teeth. Interesting, how did you kill it?"
The teeth shot toward Matiane at incredible speed, tearing through everything in their way. Buildings were shredded like paper, the ground ripped apart by their force. Matiane had to take flight, dodging and weaving through the onslaught. Even so, some of the teeth nicked him, drawing lines of blood across his pale skin.
