Chapter 71  Bringing out the Axe!

Chapter 71

Shane cautiously looked at Oliver drawing out his rapier.

He could not help but look at his twin sister laying in his arms, her whole body twitching in severe pain.

There were multiple red and blue bruises at different body parts on her…

He didn't know how many of her bones must have been broken by this guy.

He was too ruthless!

He took a deep breath as he realized this.

Had he not interfered in time and stopped Oliver's last attack, it would have definitely crippled his sister.

This guy was aiming to achieve that—he wanted to counter back by crippling her for life.

He glanced at Oliver and saw him looking back at him with a keen gaze, there was no way he was going to let them leave now.

Shane could not help but feel a little regretful. Earlier when he had the ominous intuition, he should have trusted himself more and not engage with this guy at all.

He knew at a glance now that he was an anomaly!

How could he get so strong in just a span of a few months?

There was something abnormal going behind the scenes that they were not aware of…

It seemed that they had messed with wrong person.

Sure enough, the blood of Mystic Purge Clan could never produce trash.

He was a fool to believe that there was a trash among their siblings.

And that too, the twin sibling of Nadia, the monster among monsters! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He sighed as he gently laid her sister's groaning body by a tree nearby.

He got up and faced Oliver, his eyes turning serious as well.

Oliver saw Shane making a wave using hands as a long blade suddenly appeared in his hands.

'A space-attributed artifact…'

He recognized the trick at a glance. These artifacts were quite expensive and an average exorcist had to save up to even dream of buying one.

His gaze was drawn back to Shane's stance as he readied himself too.

Today was the day he would let them experience the feeling of being on the verge of death!

Shane was unlike his sister who was impulsive and jumped straight at Oliver, he was more calm and rational.

But the sadism was something common among all the people of the Mystic Purge Clan, it was something that ran in their very blood apparently.

Shane smirked, "You have really shown me a surprising sight today, I don't think I will ever be forgetting this scene."

Oliver did not reply, he knew there was no use in trying to provoke this guy, he was not a guy to be provoked by words easily.

The moonlight filtered through the canopy, casting a ghostly glow upon their fierce battle.

Oliver gripped the rapier tight, positioning it gracefully in front of him, while Shane brandished his own blade with a confident flourish as well.

They moved suddenly in the dark!

Shane's blade sliced through the air with lethal precision. Oliver instincts kicked in, and he sidestepped the attack with a deft motion, easily avoiding the razor-sharp edge.

He could tell that Shane had been trained by a professional master of blade. But multiplied experience from Nadia who was trained by the best of best easily let Oliver dodge the attack.

Oliver thrust his rapier forward, his aim was Shane's chest.

But Shane saw this and quickly reacted, parrying the strike with a practiced ease.

Clang!

The clash of metal echoed in the silent forest as their blades met, each one of them testing the other.

Shane was not an easy guy, he did a swift counter and slashed at Oliver's exposed flank, drawing blood with a deep gush across his side.

Oliver winced in pain but did not back down, using his superior strength instead, he pushed forward and launched multiple strikes and feints.

Shane saw this and tried dodging but his speed was not fast enough as his body suffered multiple small cuts simultaneously,

'You little-!' He could not help but grit his teeth as he sent a wave of espera towards Oliver pushing him backwards forcefully.

He panted slightly as he looked at the similarly panting Oliver in the distance.

He could not help but let out a laugh as he wiped sweat off his forehead.

"I never expected to be pushed back like this today… say, how about forgetting this ever happened? I am willing to let this matter rest, I will also let my sister not interfere with you in the future?"

He offered in a raised voice.

"Hmph. If you will let me puncture your limbs with my rapier right now and apologize while kowtowing then I might consider letting you two leave."

Oliver sneered and replied, as he clutched the rapier in one hand while his other hand slowly reached his backpack as he drew out the axe he had brought along with him.

Shane frowned when he heard this, naturally he was not willing to allow someone to puncture him.

His gaze turned weird when he saw Oliver drawing out an axe in the middle of their fight. He was a bit confused at the moment.

'An Axe?'

He could not comprehend why Oliver, a person who has been using rapier, a light weapon would suddenly use an axe, a heavy and cumbersome weapon.

Wasn't this equivalent to putting oneself at disadvantage…?

He felt that Oliver was not simple and had a plan in his mind.

He was not going give Oliver any time to adjust as he suddenly jumped forward, his blade aiming for Oliver's arm holding the axe.

Oliver narrowed his eyes as he as could not help but feel that Shane was indeed quick-witted and smart, he saw an unknown variable and immediately acted to remove the variable as fast as he could.

Indeed, he had brought out an axe, a weapon that was the complete opposite of a rapier in all aspects.

A rapier had a long range while the axe had a short reach
