On seeing his opponent using Fire elemental magic, Loki also chanted a spell and summoned a water elemental magic that was floating over his long sword.


    Then the two shed toward each other in the air and struck at each other.


    Bang!


    With the loud banging sound of the energy explosion, the two were propelled backward.


    Hunk the beefy giant was fine as he gained his bnce after flying a few couples of feet, mostly because of his weight bncing the force, whereas it was not the same for the scrawny Loki as he was literally like a loose kite in a storm.


    The youth fell into the smallke and a few secondster; he floated upward and spread his wings, and pped several times in the air to dry the feathers.


    In the meantime, Hunk didn''t give him a breather as he flew toward him from behind and made a slicing motion with his broadsword imbued with a thick crimson fire.


    Loki pped his wings rapidly and avoided it sessfully, but the fire covering the broadsword grazed over his left-wing and soon it was caught in the fire.


    Sensing the feeling that his left side wing was aze with crimson fire, Loki used his water elemental spell covering his long sword to drift toward his wings and started putting the fire off.


    But a couple of seconds caused arge hole over his left side wing, which thereby made him lose his bnce as he floated in the air.


    Taking that chance, Hunk drove toward him while closing his wings and started throwing mes at him while waving hisrge broadsword.


    Loki knew that considering his current situation, it was not looking good for him to engage in an aerial battle with Hunk. He pped his wings multiple times, avoided the massive fire attack, andnded on thend.


    "Well, in that case, I''ll have to rely everything on my Grace energy," Loki muttered under his breath as he kept a nce at his left-wing and then he folded them.


    Suddenly he started infusing his Grace energy into the ck coin, which was currently in long sword form. He didn''t deserve anything this time as he put everything into the device. "Final Form, Grace Energy Cannon, activate!" He yelped.


    In the next seconds, the long sword glowed with white lights and started deforming into a tremendous weapon that looked like some heavy human gun.


    Loki then nced up at Hunk, who was currently floating high in the air, and said, "I have enough of your bullying, you stupid dog! Since you havee to me today here with the intent to take my life, then I have the right to kill you too as a way of self-defense."


    "Bahaha…. You''ll kill me… hahaha… That''s the best fucking joke I have ever heard." Hunk burst into a burst of wildughter and then he suddenly turned all serious and shouted. "Little bastard, do you really think that stick is gonna help in any way… Listen brat, from the day you are cklisted and ousted to the military service from your Bradworth family, you are meant to die…. My Tempest family has assigned me to watch closely after you and here I am today to end your miserable life once and for all and also to end this fart as well."


    He further added with a serious face. "If you want to me, then me yourself for being born as a bastard from a ve mother within Bradworth n… And most importantly, if you know your ce and live your life as a normal illegitimate child then perhaps all of this mess will not be in the first ce and waste my eleven years watching after you."


    He then paused and continued. "But what did you do?... You acted the opposite, showing your potential and immensely pure Angelic Grace energy during the Grace testing Ceremony. Hah!... What a fool? This further led to various uproar inside your Bradforth n, which irked some of the most influential people and their already well-nned politics… And you know what? This led to the sudden disappearance of a mother, and her dead body was found somewhere in some city''s dumpster after a week."


    "Stupid fool! It was because of your stupidity to prove yourself and gain your father''s attention that led you to your mother''s death in the first ce. Your father never gave a damn about you. And now here you are repeating the same thing, impressing the captain and plotting to revolt against your fate, which was already written even before your birth." He berated him harshly.


    Hunk''s words regarding the death of Loki''s mother seemed to shake him greatly, as it was the truth and he was always looking from his own perspective to get revenge for her all this time. But hearing the wordsing from Hunk shook him to the core.


    And his conflicted mind was clearly reflected in his twittering hands holding the heavy weapon, pointing the muzzle at the Hunk floating in the air.


    But he quickly regained hisposure as he hushed himself rapidly. "I''m the reason for my mama''s death, but those who are involved in her death should be punished and I''ll kill myself after that."


    Then he aimed at the huge muzzle of the heavy gun-like artillery. And he infused his pure, White Angelic Grace energy and clicked over the lever.


    Bang!


    A straight whiteser beamposed of highly potent Angelic Grace Energy was shot out from the hole of the gigantic hollow rod, moving toward Hunk at an incredibly fast speed.


    Hunk blocked it by covering his chest with the wide face of his broadsword.


    Boom!


    The highly concentratedser beam exploded as it made contact with the fire energy covering the broadsword. The enormous explosion of the two energies causes a heavy repulsion on the broadsword, leading Hunk to send flying backward, drifting over the heavy current in the air high above.


    A white mist appeared at the point of contact because of the energy explosion, covering a wide area.


    When the white mist vanished, Loki nced up and saw the tiny ant-like Hunk flying backward in the air, andter he saw him flipping his body multiple times in the air high above the sky, bncing out the excess energy he got from the explosion.


    Unknown to them, there was someone watching their showdownzily somewhere near to them. Bobby took arge bite of the juicy flesh of the apple and tossed it down on the ground.


    "Hey, hoy, who do you think is going to win?" Cynthia''s mellifluous voice chimed in his head. "I bet with that firepower Loki could easily kill that hunky Hunk."


    "Are you kidding me? Or are you just guessing?" Bobby replied. "The kid is done for. Believe me, if Hunk couldst for three more of the same shots, then the kid will be the unlucky one."


    On seeing that she was not convinced by his words, he further added, exining patiently. "See, this kid has many advantages considering the fact that he has such arge and pure potent level of Grace energy in his body… But hecks even the basics to use them properly. First, he wasted in transforming that ck coin device of his into a long sword which is stupid considering the fact that engaging in a melee fight with someone way over his weight… Then after the incident with his wing, he finally brings out his trump card. And again, hisst attack was simply stupid. Wasting that amount of energy to shoot at someone who is high above in the sky. Hmm, looks like that attack could only deal with that superficial wound over Hunk''s chest. Some rips fracture, and flesh ruptures, I guess. If I were him, I would just feint attack with low power and when the opponent lowers his guard and is drawn near to him, I''ll give a heavy blow. "


    He then paused and added, saying with disappointment on his face. "But see what he did? His opponent now knows the true lethality of his firepower and will never approach within firing range... And more importantly, concerning the level of energy left inside his body, hah(scoff)! Maybe 3 more shots like thest one. After that, it would be up to Hunk."


    "Eh! Don''t say that? What makes you think that Hunk, a guy who couldn''t remember a simple password, woulde up with a scheme like that? And most importantly, the battle is still not over yet and Loki still has the upper hand." Cynthia argued.


    "Oh Cynthia, oh my darling. Do you still not get my points?... Fine, I''ll do the exining again." Bobby then further added, "Memorizing power has little meaning in this battle. See, even though this hunky Hunk has low memorizing power, he seems to have strong battle experiences… He even psychologically destroyed his opponent''s course of rational mind during the battle using just some words…"


    "And most importantly, Loki is not in the right mind now to fight his opponent using his mind... Even if he had multiple nukes, he would nuke himself if he goes on like this... So, he will die in this battle for sure." said Bobby, finally convincing her of his theory.


    As Bobby had predicted, for the next five minutes, Hunk yed around floating in the air, checking his distance, and when Loki realized his mistake and having left with only onest shot.


    This time, Hunk flew downward and hid along treelines and approached him as he flew at him stealthily and changed his directions every second.


    And the battle ended, as suddenly Hunk appeared out of blue and cut Loki into half from his waist.


    "Little bastard, this is the end for you." Hunk raised his broadsword high above his head and he hacked down, aiming at Loki''s head.


    But just before the de was a few inches away from Loki''s head, a hand appeared out of blue and caught it. "Big guy, I can''t let you kill him. I still have some business left with Loki." Bobby said with a grin.
