Chapter 273: [Weekly Bonus - 3/3] Blood Bath (5)
Without warning, Vernian lunged at Adrian. Adrian barely had time to react, raising his arms to block the incoming attack. The force of the blow sent him staggering back, along with a new set of broken bones.
While in his beast form, [Resurgence] worked overtime to heal his wounds. But even that had a limit. Adrian couldn’t keep accumulating wounds, and even the troll blood might give up on him.
’I don’t even want to imagine what would happen after that...’
While Adrian was contemplating how to get away from Vernian, the latter fulfilled his wish and delivered a powerful kick that shattered Adrian’s defences and sent him flying.
Adrian collided with a stone wall. The impact shattered the structure and buried him under a pile of rubble. Dust filled the air, obscuring Adrian from Vernian’s view.
Vernian didn’t wait for the dust to settle. He lunged forward, determined to finish the fight before Adrian could recover, as he realised Adrian must have some regeneration ability that kept nullifying his attacks.
’The Sooner I deal with him, the better ability I can extract from his corpse. I might even manage to get his healing powers for myself... and then not even the Great Entity will be able to stop me.’
With that thought, Vernian aimed another kick at the pile of rubble where Adrian lay buried. But this time, things didn’t go according to his plan.
As Vernian’s leg came down, Adrian’s hand shot out from the rubble, catching Vernian’s leg in mid-air. A moment later, his other hand shot out, delivering a heavy blow straight into Vernian’s chest, launching him several feet away.
Vernian hit the ground and was shocked when he realised a drop of blood had fallen out of his mouth. He was in disbelief that someone other than their father managed to hurt him.
’I have to kill him! He’s too dangerous to be left alive.’
