Free Web NovelChapter 13: Powerful Enemy Appeared
It was like he was suddenly on super powerful steroids. He felt unimaginably powerful, and this was not just a boost in strength but in every aspect of himself; whether it was reflexes, pain tolerance, or healing factor, even his thinking process seemed to become faster.
This was completely different from what Max expected and didn’t expect to have such a profound effect on him. He was kind of sure it must be because of mysterious energy in the air.
But he didn’t think about the reason, as it was time for action. He then immediately moved like a flash of lightning, dodging every attack William threw at him.
"What!"
William was shocked as suddenly Max seemed to become many times faster; it even became difficult for him to keep track of his erratic movements.
He appeared to teleport, leaving only afterimages with every movement. He attacked hastily, but every attack missed.
Max at the moment, also noticed that William’s attack speed and power of the yellowish energy slash seemed to decrease a lot. It was clear these long-range attacks took a heavy toll on him.
He naturally didn’t want to waste any time, and quickly dodging four or five attacks, he finally closed the distance. And clenching his fist, he punched William’s face.
William’s instincts erupted in terror.
As the punch approached, he felt death itself staring him in the face.
"No—!"
At the last moment, William desperately gathered the remaining yellow energy around his face and upper body. A crude defensive barrier formed.
Then the punch landed.
BOOM!
The barrier shattered instantly. The force behind the punch was so terrifying and overwhelming that it felt unstoppable. William’s entire body shook; even his jawbone seemed to shatter as he was sent flying through the air like a cannonball.
He crashed into the ground dozens of meters away, rolling violently across the dirt. And immediately lost consciousness.
The soldiers surrounding in circular formation were shocked, as although most of the battle appeared to be too fast for them to follow clearly. But they still managed to understand the general flow of the fight.
The final exchange, however, was different. None of them had seen what happened.
One moment Captain William was fighting evenly. The next moment, he was defeated.
The second battle was ongoing some distance away between the two brothers and the second captain. But they were also shocked seeing William lost this quickly.
The expression of the second captain changed as the situation became worse for him and reinforcement still hadn’t arrived.
"Quick, hold him back!" The captain shouted as Andrew and Mathew both attacked him.
The surrounding soldiers were afraid, but if they didn’t step forward, not only would they die, but their family and loved ones would face the wrath of the Blackthorn family.
They knew all of them were used as cannon fodder only to get enough time, but that is the life of an ordinary person in this world.
Without caring about their lives, quickly in circular formation, the soldiers attacked Max.
Max’s aura returned to normal as he stopped using the blood control ability to boost his strength. He felt some depletion of his strength and was a bit tired, but it was nothing compared to the boost he got. freewebnøvel.com
He calmly looked at the soldiers coming for him. After defeating a bloodline awakener, he didn’t care about ordinary people at all. Instead of wasting time fighting them one by one, he sprinted toward the second battlefield.
His goal was simple: help the brothers to defeat the second captain as quickly as possible.
Soldiers tried to stop him, but he was like a bull in the herd of sheep, tearing through their blockade. He sent many soldiers flying like some ragdolls and arrived at the battlefield between the brothers and the second bloodline awakener.
The battle between them was ongoing fiercely. Andrew and Mathew have a berserk bloodline. As more they became braver, while the captain named Baldric seems to be a true member of the Blackthorn family.
Parts of his body seemed to transform into dark metallic armor. His arms, shoulders, and chest gleamed with metallic luster.
And even then he wasn’t being pushed back, as his defense was really terrifying. Both brothers’ attacks were ferocious, but his metallic body was able to handle them all. freewebnovёl.ƈom
It was clear Baldric was stronger than William. And somewhat understood the power of the C-rank Iron Thorn bloodline.
Max didn’t immediately jump in the battle. He can see from the collision between them that the defense of Baldric was extraordinary. Even if he entered the battle now and fought normally, it would take a considerable amount of time to bring him down.
But they didn’t have time; more and more soldiers were coming in their direction. A cold light flashed through Max’s eyes. He was going to use his trump card.
Silently he used his ability, and under his blood control ability, blood began to move according to his will. He started to gather his power at the point of his finger. He needed to use a lot of blood, as it wasn’t like last time, where he just tried to test it; instead, he was going to use it to destroy a bloodline awakener.
To accomplish that, he needed overwhelming destructive power.
Max compressed drop after drop of blood. The process was difficult and exhausting. His face gradually became a bit pale as more blood left his body.
Half a liter.
Then three-quarters.
Finally—
Nearly an entire litre of blood had been condensed into a single crimson droplet resting upon his fingertip. He then concentrated and continued to look at the battle upfront, waiting for the right moment.
Baldric, fighting the two brothers, noticed Max who didn’t join the battle, but he remained alert. And the battle continued to go on.
Max was waiting, but the situation suddenly changed.
"How dare you challenge the authority of the Blackthorn family!!!" A thunderous roar echoed across the battlefield.
"Catch them; none of them can leave."
This sudden roar came from a distance, shocking everyone.
A group of terrifying soldiers clad in black armour appeared. At their head stood an old man. Unlike the others, he wore simple clothes and carried neither weapon nor armor.
Yet his presence alone dwarfed everyone around him. He radiated an aura that made the air feel heavy. An aura of absolute power.
Even Max felt his blood tremble in terror as he looked at the old man from a distance and knew immediately they had to leave.
He without wasting any moment, aimed his finger.
