Chapter 118: Nexus ying With The Twins


    Nexus ran towards the side of a building to take cover. He stood there, catching his breath.


    He had been fighting extremely fast kappas, Kogo, and Koga. Their water spells could both increase their movements and heal them making it difficult for him tond heavy damage, and if he doesnd one, the injured kappa would just retreat and heal.


    Kogo even jumped back to the sea after getting some injuries and jumped back up after half an hour looking all new. Though, he did get berated by Koga. He was told that he left too long.


    Kogo did take his time underwater while healing himself and ying with the fish.


    Nexus made his body float. His eyes glowed purple and his body was outlined by the floating spell he casted on himself.


    He went into the rundown building and spread his soul sense. He could now see the two kappas walking in his direction.


    "Half a block away," Nexus murmured. "I won''t fuck with those tiny shits head-on."


    It wasn''t hard, and he is not using his full strength yet. But, it was tiring doing things over and over again when they would just heal.


    ---


    Koga and Kogo walked side by side as they surveyed the surroundings looking for Nexus.


    "Can you sense him?" Kogo asked. His head turned left and right.


    "If I could, I would have already told you," Koga said in an irritated tone. Kogo had left him by himself for half an hour, and in that half an hour it had been him and Nexus fighting head-on.


    The fight was intense, for him. Nexus'' speed was fast and his ws were sharp. Koga was worried that his de might break from it. They exchanged heavy blows and before anyone couldnd the finishing blow, Kogo came back, running towards Nexus and Koga.


    "I told you, I was healing up. My body was badly damaged." Kogo didn''t tell Koga about him ying with the fishes under the sea.


    "You should have only healed enough!" Koga raised his voice as he turned to Kogo.


    "Sheesh," Kogo ced an index finger vertically in front of his lips. "Keep your voice down. The man with the ws might hear you."


    "I''m sure he is watching us right now, waiting to strike," Koga spoke as he nced at the buildings near them.


    Before Kogo could say anything, A figure came zooming in towards them.


    "Shit!" Kogo raised his sword. Koga did too.


    They readied their stance and waited for the person with obsidian-colored ws to arrive.


    Nexus threw his own body towards the two kappas. He locked his sights on Koga. His ws aimed at one of the sword-wielding kappa.


    As he neared the two, he swiped his right hand. Koga defended. Nexus swiped a few more times.


    Kogo wanted to help, but Nexus'' left hand was currently stretched towards him. He couldn''t move. All he could do was stand there and watch Koga fight with the human.


    ''He seems faster.'' Koga thought as he defended a barrage of attacks from his opponent. ''Could it be that he wasn''t using his full strength before?''


    As Nexus wasn''t strong enough yet, he needs to use his hand to direct his spells which is why he couldn''t use his left hand to fight.


    After a few seconds Nexus once again swiftly retreated.


    Kogo who was about to follow him was stopped by Koga.


    "What?" Kogo turned to his twin. "We''re not going to chase?"


    Koga shook his head. "He might beying down traps. It''s best if we tread slowly. This isnd after all."


    Kogo slowly nodded and began to walk together with Koga.


    ---


    Nexus smiled as he once again stood at a rooftop of a run-down building. He didn''t want to fight long battles. He''d rather just split it into smaller ones and strike his opponent down when he gets the chance.


    With this tactic, he would be able to make the enemy wary, nervous, and the opponents have no choice but to go with it. The two kappas couldn''t escape his soul sense even if they run away.


    "This is going to be fun." Nexus once again jumped down and rushed towards them, this time he didn''t bind Kogo, but instead, he raised his left hand towards Koga.


    Nexus, of course, could only let this spellst for a short while especially since these two were of higher rank than he.


    "Coward, why don''t you fight us both!" Kogo road as he fought Nexus with impressive speed.


    Nexus didn''t answer. He jumped backward as Kogo swung his sword. The two stopped fighting as Kogo''s angry eyes stared at Nexus.


    "Are you ying with us?" Koga spoke. This was embarrassing. It was as if they were being treated like toys. He couldn''t move. He tried his best to walk, but the only thing he could do was talk.


    Nexus thought for a second before saying, "Not really, no."


    Although he wasn''t taking them that seriously, he still used a lot of his avable strength.


    "Then release me." Koga squinted his eyes.


    Nexus nodded. "Alright."


    He lowered his hand and released him. After that, he ran towards a building and floated.


    "What''s the point of running?" Kogo asked. He couldn''t understand what the human was trying to do.


    "I also don''t know." Koga thought there was a trap set by the person with obsidian-colored ws, but this time the human ran in a different direction.


    Nexus who was not on a rooftop. He was currently facing a few nagas and siyokoy in front of him who was at early stage Commander.


    He had time to spare so he came here to have some fun.


    His opponents this time weren''t a rank or ranks higher than him so he raised his hand and towards one of the nagas. He did a squeezing motion with his hand.


    The naga dropped his weapon and ced his hands in front of his neck, moving it. It was as if he was being choked and he tried to remove the hands that were clutching his neck.


    Nexus who was meters away with his arm raised squeezed harder. His purple eyes glowed.


    He rushed forward, his eyes set on the naga he used a spell on. He avoided a few opponents and wed a few others.


    His focus was on the one naga behind them.


    As he arrived in front of the said naga, his ws began dancing. He swiped left and right.


    The naga fell on the floor, twitching.


    Nexus didn''t kill it. He was just testing out his spell. He then proceeded to terrorize the other creatures around using his telekinesis spells.


    He didn''t stop as he began to clear the area around the ce where his two kappa friends were.


    Nexus wanted to make sure that there would be no distractions in their fight whatsoever, so he began clearing out the weeds on the side.


    As Nexus finished, he made his way back to the ce where the kappas were.


    He stood on top of the building as he looked at them.


    The two kappas remained vignt. Their eyes kept shifting from one ce to another.


    Nexus, this time, didn''t attack from the front nor the sides. He attacked from the back


    His eyes glowed purple as he made himself speed up. His right w extended towards his target, Kogo.


    He noticed that Kogo is slightly faster than Koga, but Koga''s battle prowess is better.


    Nexus didn''t use any spells to stop their movement. This time he wasn''t pulling back. Though he was not going all out,


    Koga was the first to notice. He turned back and shouted. "Look out!"


    Kogo turned around and blocked sideways with his thin sword.


    Nexus swiped with his left hand. He aimed this attack towards Kogo''s hips. The kappa avoided the w but was still grazed by it.


    Nexus moved sideways, dodging Koga''s strike from behind. He jumped back as Kogo stabbed his sword forward.


    Nexus shed with Koga. He clutched his sword with his left hand and swiped with his right.


    He once again moved sideways, still clutching Koga''s sword. He had just avoided another one of Kogog''s attacks


    The battle raged on. Every minute that passed by Nexus'' speed increased. He was now much faster than before, something that the two kappas noticed.


    The two kappas jumped backward and Nexus did too.


    "Koga, he was hiding his real strength," Kogo spoke.


    Koga shook his head, disbelievingly "That can''t be. I can still sense that he is one stage lower than us."


    He actually noticed the man with obsidian-colored ws be a lot stronger and faster, but he couldn''t understand how.


    "It''s probably another one of his spells." Koga tried catching his breath from the intense sh that just happened.


    "If he wants to get serious then let''s do too. He''s not the only one who could increase his speed." Kogo loved speed more than Koga did.


    Koga nodded.


    The two started casting a spell. From their feet, water starteding out.


    Nexus watched the two. "You guys can take your time."


    He also wants a better challenge to help him improve.
