"de Specialty: Poseidon''s Tsunami sh!"
BOOM!
As soon as de shed the ground with his Lightsaber, the sturdy street tiles could not withstand the force of his de, it copsed under its force.
As soon as it copsed, something else was revealed under, a tunnel!
At the moment that the Shadow Mage made an appearance, de marked him instantly with the help of his special talent. It was not exactly marking, but he used his precognition talent on the Mage.
Unlike the first time when de just unlocked this special talent, he was no longer a novice, his understanding and power with the talent was now far higher.
He was able to read almost about a dozen seconds ahead.
This was how he knew the next few intentions of the Shadow Mage; it was also how he was able to detect the almost perfectly masked tunnel underneath.
Boom!
The Mechanic unleashed another shot but his target was already gone.
de showed no fear as he charged into the tunnel alongside the Shadow Mage. Entering inside, he saw a tunnel that extended across a ridiculously long distance, he also saw the Shadow Mage escaping rapidly.
Still in his humanoid form, shadows were everywhere around him as he ran. His legs did not touch ground, he stepped on shadows that propelled him hundreds of meters forward with each step.
''I can''t let him escape!'' de made his decision instantly.
Literally pouring all his Pugilist energy into his legs, he erupted in pursuit as he seemed to turn into a powerful gale rushing underground.
The Shadow Mage was not widening the distance, instead the distance between the 2 Grade B Supers was now lessening, he was incensed.
''I masked it with my concealment spell, how did he find the tunnel?''
''Was I betrayed? No! It''s this Pugilist!'' The eyes of this Shadow Mage narrowed as through the shadows; he observed his opponent.
He could easily tell that this guy was stronger than most of the other mercenaries that he had met, he felt a bit frustrated.
''Who is this Pugilist? I''ve never met him before!''
Despite his many thoughts, the Shadow Mage was experienced, he knew the priorities that were at hand and exactly what he needed to do.
His mouth opened again as he started chanting incantations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
sts of shadow energy wereunched towards de who was prepared.
"de Specialty: de of Grit!"
BOOM!
One sh with his sword destroyed the 3 sts of shadow energy.
The Shadow Mage was renowned for his elusiveness, his weird and escaping abilities, he was never known for his powerful spells andbat power.
"Jon Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"
de brought the legacy of his mentor to the gctic society for the first time. Immediately after he blocked the sts of shadow energy, he retaliated.
The Shadow Mage saw the attack but he could not dodge it effectively.
He sank into the shadows as the Pugilist Energy mmed against them!
The shadows shook, then a groan reverberated followed by blood.
The Shadow Mage was yanked out of the shadows as he coughed blood, he red at the Pugilist who was now closer than ever with blood-shot eyes.
His eyes were full of hatred and frustration!
The next moment, his body morphed!
He was no longer human; he was now a reptile!
A strange reptile with rippling dark green scales, a long forked tongue like those of a snake, and extremely sharp ws and fangs.
"Hisss…!!!" He snarled aggressively but de was not deterred.
"de Specialty: de of Defiance!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Seeing the approaching sword energy, this Reptile screamed as from its'' opened mouth, green poison came pouring out like an avnche.
The poison overpowered the pugilist energy as he started chanting an incantation again. This time it was longer and the arcane energy fluctuation in the air was more powerful, de felt threatened.
He no longer held back; he used one of his strongest abilities.
"de Specialty: Twilight; Dawn of Doom!"
BOOM…!!!
The Reptile could not even react, one moment he was chanting his incantation, the next moment, everywhere turned ck like it was midnight.
Then from the darkness rose up a silvery light like the dawn of day.
The only problem was that, this time, it was not the dawn of day, it was the dawn of doom!
Watching the sword energy rapidly elerate towards him, this Reptile saw his life sh before his eyes, he felt fear for the first time in a long time!
He abandoned his incantation as he leaped up like a frog the next moment, not caring about the ground above as he mmed against it, injuring himself in the process but the pain from this was not the most significant.
Despite reacting so fast, the de still caught its mark, the left hand of this Reptile was cleanly cut as ck blood poured out of his body like a flood.
"HISSS…!" He hissed loudly in pain as he arrived back on the surface.
Unfortunately for him, a certain mechanic was waiting for him here at the surface. Aiming with his Rifle, this mechanic pulled the trigger again.
Boom!
The Reptile was injured even more as anothermotion started.
The Reptile became desperate. ''I can''t fight 2 grade B mercenaries!''
''I need to escape!''
''I need to escape!''
The Mechanic pulled the trigger again but shadows appeared as he dodged, showcasing incredible agility as the shots only hit his afterimages.
As he observed, he noticed a dark alley where his shadow powers would be even more amplified. ''That''s my escape route!''
Without hesitation, he charged towards there while dodging the powerful shots being unleashed by the mercenary Mechanic.
Just before he got to the alley though, he felt a familiar presence. ''No!''
"Exclusive Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"
Bzzz!
"Demi-Singrity Ability: Explosive Burst!"
"Demi-Singrity Ability: Gravity Well!"
BZZZ!
It was like the god of Gravity himself descended!
Just before he could take the bend into the alley, the Reptile stopped, the incredible pull of the gravity well affected him. To the despair of this reptile, he started being pulled backwards.
He was horrified. ''No!''
de closed his eyes for total concentration.
"Demi-Singrity Ability: One-hit Kill!"
Instantly, he felt his vitality drop by half. At this moment, he felt in the zone state, that was why he took the gamble of activating this ability.
This was the only way to kill this Reptile and prevent it from escaping again.
Then he did it.
"de Specialty: Singrity sh!"
SHING!
The rest was history.
