'That look was not a look of pity. That look ... was the look where she really believed I would come back.'
Looking at the two 2-star Spiritualists before him, Shawn had a complicated expression on his face.
THE PLAQUE!
The young man suddenly slapped himself. His expression gradually became more serious. After taking a deep breath, he finally said.
"Because someone is expecting too much of me, it seems that I really can't escape like a loser!"
After saying that, Shawn immediately rushed forward with the katana in his hand. Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly attacked the two 2-star Spiritualists. When the two of them fended off Shawn's slash, instead of retreating or looking for a gap, the young man directly barged forward.
At that moment, Shawn immediately rushed towards Matt. Seeing the two 3-star Spiritualists attacking his friend, he instantly repelled their attacks. This surprised Matthew.
"What are you doing, Shawn?"
"Did your eyes not see? I'm obviously helping you!"
"I mean ... Why are you helping me?! I—"
"This is my job, you idiot!"
Fending off some attacks from the 3-star Spiritualist, Shawn looked rather pale. But instead of hesitating, he argued with Matt bravely.
"Belgium ... You ..."
"But just the annoying tall leader, I'll hold the rest."
"Are you crazy, Shawn?!"
"What's crazy?! They're just two people dying and two new people like us."
Looking towards the two 3-star Spiritualists and the two 2-star Spiritualists, Shawn said in a crazy tone.
"Stay, they're four people and you—"
"MATTHEW!"
Shawn stared into Matthew's eyes with a serious expression. Gritting his teeth, he then shouted.
"THIS IS AN ORDER FROM CHIEF WHITE WINGS!"
Shawn's words instantly shocked the people. Although not so powerful, the young man's words still carried a certain momentum.
Matt who heard it subconsciously raised the corner of his lips. Gripping tightly onto his katana hilt, he immediately said in a joking tone as usual.
"Aye aye aye, Captain!"
The appearance of the two of them instantly made Kevin and the four others feel annoyed. Even Kevin's figure sneered.
"Didn't you feel weak as the head and representative of the White Wings?! Or, Wings of Freedom is just like this?
Don't expect two weaklings like you to defeat the five of us! Kill them!"
Hearing Kevin's words, the other four people immediately rushed towards Shawn and Matt.
Shawn immediately faced off against the two 2-star Spiritualists. Just as the two 3-star Spiritualists were about to attack Matt, he also directly rushed over to head them off. Fending off the attacks of four people in a row, the young man smirked.
"I told you, your opponent is me!"
Seeing the determined and eager Shawn facing his four enemies, Matt grinned. His hands clenched tightly. The katana in his right hand was enveloped by a faint red aura. He immediately turned towards Kevin.
Swooshes! KLANG!
The two swords clashed strongly. Different from before when Matt bounced, the young man this time could keep up with Kevin.
Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!
The sound of metal booms constantly rang out as Kevin and Matt faced each other.
Kevin could not help but look towards the young man who was three levels (small arrows) lower than himself. But when he looked at Matt, he was surprised once again.
Without Kevin's attack, blood flows from Matt's nose. But the young man did not panic at all. Instead, he instead laughed with a crazy expression, even his eyes slightly reddened.
"I just remembered and realized .. so it turned out to be so!"
KLANG!
Kevin and Matt bounce back a few feet. Kevin's figure exclaimed when he saw the messy but ferocious appearance of the young man in front of him.
"You ... You use swordsmanship that shouldn't be usable at your level!
Supposedly, even at my level, controlling the qi energy to coat a weapon is extremely difficult! Not to mention using such a sword technique!"
Kevin stared at Matt with an expression of disbelief as if he had seen a madman. After all, his actions were completely insane! Like trying to kill yourself!
Matt shook his head. He remembered Adam.
According to Adam, Matt had a good talent in sword techniques. The problem is, the level is still too low. So, despite teaching him, Adam always told the young man to hold back and not use it. Besides, it's not good for his body.
You could say, his body could be destroyed due to overload!
Staring around, Matt shook his head again. Blood appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Ughh! My head is buzzing, it really sucks. Five .. no, let's finish this in two minutes."
Matt looked at Kevin with a ferocious smile. His muscles began to tighten. He immediately turned towards Kevin. Gripping tightly onto the sword hilt with both of his hands, the young man immediately slammed hard.
BANG!!!
Kevin's figure immediately bounced away, even rolling on the floor several times. At the moment of rising up, he saw the figure of Matt who had rushed towards him. Not giving him a chance to rest.
Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!
Continuing to fend off and play passively, Kevin felt himself beginning to be cornered. That made him angry. After all, Matt's level was clearly lower than his. However, it was precisely him who was attacked and suppressed by Matt!
"This is ..."
Kevin said with a furious tone. At that moment, a blood-red energy coated the sword blade in his right hand. He swung the sword hard.
KLANG!
Both of them back together. Seeing the energy enveloping Kevin's sword, Matt was quite surprised. He did not expect that his opponent was strong enough to do such a thing. However, when he saw Kevin's thinner appearance, the young man was astonished.
"It's a side effect of using Darkblood Moth, Stupid."
As Darkblood Moth Tamer, Kevin and the rest of the people relied on the creature in cultivation. Unlike the unique Adam type, the average Tamer cultivation level (especially evil creatures) is based on the creatures they contract with. In other words, the power was not their own, but that of the beasts that had contracts with them.
Take Darkblood Moth for example. If the creature is at the low-silver level, then the owner is also at the low-silver level. However, the owner did not gain the creature's abilities.
On the contrary, in Adam's case, he was an independent type like a normal Cultivator. The energy in his body and level was his own. The difference is, the young man has skills belonging to the beasts that he specifically contracted (through the help of the System). The energy in his body became the main base (of his own), then through the beast contract.
So, Adam and the beasts could be said to be bound, but also independent. Relationships are complicated, but mutually beneficial.
Kevin and Matt looked at each other. Both are aware that they are at their own limits.
"It seems that everything must end here."
"Yes .. let's decide with this attack."
A fiery red energy coated Matt's sword. The seven holes in his head began to bleed, his expression looking so terrifying.
Blood red energy coated Kevin's sword. Unlike Matt, he was still very calm. The difference was that his body became increasingly and more thin.
Matt and Kevin are together. At a time when their distance was very short, the two of them swung their swords while shouting loudly.
"DEAD!!!"
BLARR!
The sound of explosions was loud enough. Sufficiently dense smoke filled the room. A few moments later, smoke started to blow them away.
Matt's figure stood quietly, while Kevin lay on the floor with a large wound on his chest up to his stomach. The sword in his hand was also broken.
The man looked at Matt's tattered clothes. When he saw the gun hidden behind the suit, he couldn't help but ask.
"If you have a firearm .. then why?"
"Isn't that clear ..."
Matt said with a pale face.
"Old ways to get stronger. Only by continuing to fight could the cultivation progress become faster, the foundation would also become more and more solid."
"..."
Kevin quiet. His body seemed to be getting withered. The man closed his eyes. After a while, he muttered.
"It turns out ... everything has been determined from the beginning, right?"
After saying that, Kevin exhaled his last breath.
Looking at Kevin who lost his life, Matt slightly nodded in homage. Even if it was his enemy, to Matt, that person was worthy enough and had helped him to become stronger.
So, this duel .. was won by Matthew of Wings of Freedom!
