Chapter 74  Fighting with wounds! Time to test that out...

Chapter 74

Shane almost got choked by the sudden influx of warm liquid and tried to move away his head but was unable to.

She saw this and did not care at all. It was his fault for being in this state.

Should have been stronger…

Yes, this was how the true mindset of Mystic Purge Clan's little siblings worked, they did not harbor emotional attachment to one another but a sense of respect for the other's strength, the benefits they could give them and their use.

It was just that since they were always born in pairs of twins that they stuck together with their twin more but it was not a necessity.

"Although I doubt that it will have much effect on you given your current state, but at least, it will save you from dying quickly."

She said in a flat tone as she slowly put his head down on the ground, allowing him to rest slowly as his breathing slowly started to stabilize.

Her gaze turned towards Oliver who had now also stood back up.

His chest was hurting a lot but he was still somehow managing…

"Heh."

He could not help but let out a short laugh even in this situation.

He did not know if he had a screw loose or not, but in tense situations or scary situations, he would subconsciously smile or laugh.

Just like how his mind cracked up when he suddenly bid in the auction that time for absolutely no reason. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And now…

Looking at him smirking and laughing as if making fun of her, she could not help but feel speechless.

Was this guy really sane? He knew his wounds and his disadvantage against her but was still provoking her…?

She even felt tired for getting angry anymore.

She just wanted revenge now, for him daring to try and cripple her.

She would make sure that he would not be able to move a finger for the rest of his life.

Her black colored sword was particularly ominous and Oliver suspected it had a special property associated with it.

However, he did not retreat, there was no way he was going to let this girl off after what she did just now.

"Come at me."

He called out to her and she responded by rushing towards him with a cold face.

This time she was going to finish him off for good, she had the advantage this time.

Oliver used his axe and squatted down, avoiding her slash while he slashed forward with the axe aiming to hurt her legs this time.

But he was slower this time due to multiple injuries which she used to her advantage as she quickly used his head for her own support and jumped over him avoiding the axe by a narrow degree.

Hiss!

This guy was going to remove her legs with his axe!

She angrily moved her sword backward aiming at Oliver's back but Oliver was quick to dodge and barely managed to slide to his left.

His chest was hurting bad due to the earlier attack, he did not believe that he could allow this to go on for more.

He might get really crippled this time.

She was using espera to not only enhance her speed of her movements but also the force behind her attacks.

She was too vicious!

He was not amused internally although he still had a small smirk etched on his lips.

Was this the adrenaline rush from dangerous and life-threatening battles that was making him excited this much?

He was not sure and neither did he have the time to contemplate about it at the moment.

'It seems that I have to use that now'

He frowned internally when he thought about how a group of elders might be watching their fight with keen interest.

That's right, he knew that the clan would never let a promising candidate die in this demon hunt.

A group of elders and elites were definitely watching each participant, monitoring everything.

They would make sure to interfere if the life of a participant was threatened.

One might wonder what the reason was that they had not interfered in Shane's and Oliver's previous fight so far?

It was simple because Oliver had not intended to kill Shane in the first place and the wounds that he gave to him were although serious but almost all of them were intended to cripple him rather than to kill him.

Unlike Shane, Oliver took the big picture in his mind.

He was obviously going to be severely punished by the clan if he dared to kill someone. Not to mention he had no backing in the clan so he would be at more disadvantage compared to the 3rd pair of siblings with their own factions behind them.

Not only that, the elders of the clan were extremely powerful, they could tell if Shane's life was in danger or not. If they had not interfered then that meant he was not going to die anytime soon.

As for getting crippled, while it was frowned upon, it was not against the rules of the hunt.

If Shane did get crippled by Oliver then he could only blame himself for being a weakling.

They were not going to spoon-feed him here.

The clan had strict rules that even they were not allowed to bypass.

They were very indifferent to such things, only strength and potential mattered in their eyes.

Then again, wouldn't Shane's future and potential be ruined if he got crippled?

As for that, the elders shared a similar thought…

They would just feed him an elixir to help him recover back later.

While indeed an elixir was an epic-rank item that was hard to come by, given the clan's rich history of centuries and the excellent alchemists working endlessly, they often produced a batch of elixirs every few years.

And using one on a main heir was not a waste of resources, not only would he experience the feeling of fighting a near-death battle without actually dying but also realize not to be too arrogant.

Oliver felt uncomfortable showing his cards like this but since the situation demanded so, he cannot back down.

He did not use the [Cosmic Void Gaze] in case the elders behind the 2nd brother would quickly find the similarities and suspect him.

At that time, he would definitely be asked about his sources of power and all sorts of questions which he would rather not answer at all.
