Free Web NovelChapter 117: Chapter 116 - Dracula vs Harmony Outliers(Part 2)
Point-of-View: Alexis Tucker
———————————————————————————
Aurora rapidly closed the hand of her Shadow Cat which was hovering above Dracula, each of the claws piercing through him before she spun them across and tore his body apart in an instant. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
But before the seperate chunks of his body could even hit the floor, they rapidly joined back up, healing at an incredible speed, before getting sent flying across and slamming onto a wall with immense force as Aurora whipped her Shadow Cat arm at him, striking him before he could fully heal.
She then formed a fist and slammed it onto him, breaking down the wall and sending him flying through a corridor, before she shot through the hole in the wall, chasing after him at a breakneck speed.
Inoka then came running into the cafeteria as loud crashes echoed throughout the facility, quickly surveying the area before rushing towards Mike and placing his palm on his chest as he closed his eyes and his hand started to glow
.
Mike’s injuries began to close up and heal, his broken forearms straightening out while his chest puffed back out again, and his agonized expression easing up significantly.
As he finished healing Mike, he then jogged over to Zoraiz, and started to heal him next.
"You okay, dude? You look like you’re in absolute agony right now," He remarked, as his hand glowed again.
"Oh, very much so...my insides are in so much pain right n-...oh, it’s getting better," Zoraiz sighed in relief, the tension on his face slowly fading.
"Sorry to leave you for last, but at first glance, your injuries seemed the least severe," Said Inoka, as he finished healing Zoraiz and walked over to me, placing his hand on my back.
"Yeah, I know, it’s fine. These burns do hurt, but external damage isn’t as dangerous as internal injuries, so I get it," I replied, letting out a slow exhale as the pain rapidly faded.
"Now, then, let’s go after Aurora and back her up...is what I would say if it wouldn’t result in us holding her back. That said, let’s try and get within sight, while keeping our distance...we might be able to help at least a little bit," Suggested Inoka, as he got done with healing me...

"Well, now, you are even more formidable than I was led to believe," Remarked Dracula, as he evaded the slash of my claws before springing back, forming a shield made of blood as I fired a Negative Blast at him, blocking it and deflecting it onto the ceiling.
Fine, in that case, how about this...I swiftly halted and began rapidly charging up a massive Negative Blast as he reached a dead end. There won’t be anyone on the other side of that wall, since directly outside of it was a wide, snowy plain, obscured by cliffs.
"Try deflecting this!" I snapped, as I swirled the blast and fired it with a rapid spin, sending it barreling towards him in the blink of an eye.
The sound of concrete breaking and metal tearing apart echoed out as my blast burst through the wall, sending Dracula plummeting down and crashing onto the snow below, his right arm and shoulder, plus a bit of his torso, completely blown off.
I raced forward and leapt out through the opening, before sending the right arm of my Shadow Cat rapidly extending out towards him, my claws poised to tear him apart.
Suddenly, a column of earth burst out from under him and sent him shooting away, narrowly evading my claws as he stabilized himself in mid-air and swooped down at the ground, landing and dusting himself off with a sigh.
Damn it...I’ve inflicted several heavy injuries, but he keeps healing almost instantly. He doesn’t even look phased, and his calm attitude was starting to really piss me off...
"Quite incredible, your level of power, strength and speed. Among all the mortal opponents I have faced, you are quite easily the strongest...however, a mortal has never defeated me in battle, and I doubt that will be changing any time soon. That said, please continue to try your best...I am quite enjoying this challenge," He smirked, as streaks of blood floated out of his palms, forming in the shape of bladed whips all around him.
I then swiftly sprang off to my left as I felt the ground shift, just in time as several spikes burst out from the spot where I was standing, before I rapidly increased the density of my Shadow Cat as more came shooting out of the ground towards me.
They broke apart as they struck my shroud, before I landed and shot towards him on all fours, forming whip-like streaks of my own from the back of my shroud, as his blood whips came zipping towards me.
I used my shadow whips to deflect them as I began to close in on him, before inhaling sharply and bursting out a powerful shockwave from my mouth with a deafening, concentrated yell, focusing and directing it straight towards him.
As it struck him, the force sent him flying back and crashing into a pile of snow, before I plunged the tail of my Shadow Cat into the ground and rapidly extended it out towards him, bursting out several shadowy spikes and skewering him.
"Oh, you are copying my moves, are you? How bold of you, I am quite impressed...," He smirked, as he suddenly turned into a bat to free himself and flew off, transforming back to normal as he landed with a gleam in his eyes, "Truly magnificent...now, then, I suppose it is time that I start attacking in earnest. Even though they have little effect on me, sustaining so many injuries in such quick succession is rather tiresome. Not to mention painful. Prepare yourself...here I come!"
Suddenly, he closed in on me in an instant, driving his claws towards my head as he met my gaze. I managed to react in time and swiftly tilted my head across to dodge it, but he grazed the part of my Shadow Cat by the left side of my head, cracking that spot.
As I sprang back while rapidly extending my tail straight at his chest, an angled spike burst out from the ground, to try and trip me. I extended the feet of my Shadow Cat like springs to leap over it, before he shot towards me and fired out a drill-like mass of blood at me.
I quickly ducked backwards to evade it, as it tore off a chunk of my shadowy armor by my right shoulder, grazing my skin. The mass of blood suddenly split into the shape of dozens of needles all around me, before rapidly converging in on me in the blink of an eye. frёewebnoѵēl.com
I jumped straight up in the air right as they closed on on me, several grazing my Shadow Cat but I evaded sustaining any significant strikes, as I sprang high up into the air.
Suddenly, Dracula was right above me, taking aim with a powerful bolt of lightning in his hand. I quickly increased the density of my shroud as fast as I possibly could, just in time as he fired the blast down at me.
It struck me and sent me rapidly flying down towards the ground, slamming onto the snow with a loud crash as a huge snow cloud rose up around me.
I then quickly rolled out of the way as he swooped down at me at a blinding speed and slammed his foot onto the spot where I’d been standing, severe cracks spreading out from the point of impact as the ground shook slightly, the snow cloud growing denser.
He then zipped out of the snow cloud, shooting towards me as a barrage of spikes burst out from the ground below me, several grazing my shroud as I raced across to evade them, before realizing that he’d boxed me in.
As he shot towards me, he blasted out a sonic screech from him mouth, as I whipped the right arm of my Shadow Cat across and tore down all the spikes around me, which weakened the sound blast as they fell down and distorted it.
I sprang back as hard as I could while forming a Negative Slash, pressing my palms together and firing out a rapid, slicing wave of dark energy at him, which he quickly shuffled across to evade, just barely avoiding it before he flew up and rapidly swooped down at me.
I swiftly sent my left Shadow Cat arm extending out towards him, and as he flew around it to evade my claws, I burst out several shadowy spikes from the arm, piercing through him and abruptly halting his descent.
Before he could break free, I rapidly swung my arm across as hard as I could, slamming him onto the side of a cliff with all the force I could muster. Deep cracks burst out from the point of impact, before several chunks of the cliff plummeted down and crashed onto the snow below.
Something feels off here...his attacks are really powerful and fast, definitely the strongest I’ve ever faced, but...somehow, it feels like he’s holding back on me, I don’t sense any real murderous intent from him...
