Liliana crashed through the windows, from one building to the next.
Removing his attention from her, Amon focused himself on Ren.
He walked over to the edge of the roof from where he peered down.
But to his surprise.
Ren wasn't there anymore.
And simultaneously, he felt the hairs on his back stand up.
He ducked, barely avoiding a kick of lightning that went past his head.
Before he could act though, another lightning fist was inches away from his face.
Amon immediately used [Mana Scatter], erasing all mana from around him.
Blocking the fist from his hand, Amon spun Ren's body in the air, manipulating his blood to make it easier.
However, he was taken aback when his control was suddenly overpowered.
Ren completely twisted his body, not caring anything about the arm in Amon's head.
And a clean kick connected with the side of Amon's face.
He skidded several steps back while Ren composed him.
Amon clicked his tongue.
"Flexible ass..." He wiped the trickle of blood from his face.
That movement that Ren just did was something impossible for a normal student to do.
However, Amon had to admit.
In his friend group, there were many things they all had in common, with some of them excelling in a certain aspect.
An example of Charlotte's physical strength and Alya's eyesight.
However, no one could match the flexibility of Ren's body.
It was as if he was a walking strip of elastic.
It was as if he was born with it.
And while that was partially true, it was also because of his childhood.
It was something he had developed in the years he spent hanging out and parkouring in the alleys and streets.
Ren smirked.
"Jelly much?"
Amon shrugged, nodding subtly.
"A little, I guess."
Ren's smirk widened as he shot forward.
"I can teach you sometime in the streets you know." He threw a kick at Amon.
Amon dodged it with a tilt of his head.
But was surprised when Ren suddenly rotated his foot, changing his leg position.
Before bringing it down on Amon's head like an axe kick.
Fortunately, Amon was able to react quickly as he punched Ren's knee in time.
Ren's face scrunched up in immense pain.
But even he was unprepared for the sudden shockwaves and booms that resounded in the air.
Blood gushed out of Ren's mouth as he was sent flying into the roof's railing, bending the frame.
Amon didn't pursue him though.
Because he knew that the previous opponent was back.
Looking below, Amon immediately jumped back into the air.
And just as he did, the roof below him broke into a large hole, an enormous hurricane erupting.
Amon felt himself being pulled fast into it but he immediately looped his blood strings around the railing.
But even that proved to be useless as they were cut from the multiple blades shooting out of the hurricane.
Clicking his tongue, Amon let himself go and activated [Void Eyes].
The motion of the world around him immediately slowed down as he exerted more and more
mana.
He concentrated on the hurricane in front of him.
Liliana must be somewhere inside it.
Amon tried to identify her location by pushing his eyes to the extreme.
Cracks started to emerge under his eyes but he kept on.
'There.' He found her in the corner of the hurricane.
And immediately used [Voidstep].
Appearing in front of the spot where she was, he extended his hand before clenching it.
The wind barrier from the hurricane in front of him immediately disappeared.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And a large gaping hole formed in the hurricane, where he saw Liliana hovering in the air inside it.
Green glowing markings spread on her arm while her emerald green hair fluttered in the wind, glowing golden at the edges.
Her gleaming amber eyes met his and they widened.
She quickly pointed her arm at him.
The wind around her scattered before him into a high-pressure burst.
But Amon was able to avoid it at the last second, using lightning to enhance his body reflexes.
While simultaneously manipulating her blood in the arm at the last second.
But he didn't come out of it unscathed as multiple cuts teared up his right arm.
Amon clicked his tongue, bearing the pain and the cracks that spread on his arm.
Liliana's face contorted.
Before she could do anything else this time, Amon summoned his nodachi, cladding it in
lightning.
And slashed it at her shoulder, cleanly cleaving off her arm.
A sharp scream erupted from her mouth as her arm flew off in the air.
Her spell and transformation canceled and Amon kicked her cleanly in the stomach.
Blood endlessly poured out of her body as she smashed into the ground.
Amon landed on the ground, before her body which was forming a small pool of blood now.
Raising his hand, he caught her arm in his palm.
Her emerald green eyes which were filled with pain and tears moved and locked with his black
stoic ones.
"You..." She couldn't even form words, whimpering in pain.
And then, Amon clenched his fist, making her arm burst into a splash of flesh and blood over
her body.
He kicked her in the chest without a word or change in expression.
A voice boomed from above in the sky.
[Beatrice from Team B has been eliminated]
'They are done. Good.' Amon looked below.
Suddenly, Amon's gaze moved above where he easily caught a kick in his hand.
Ren's body twisted, as he tried to deliver another kick which was also caught by Amon.
His eyes widened but then Amon twisted the blood inside his foot and smashed him on the ground, beside Liliana.
Forming multiple thick rings of blood, Amon embedded them in the ground, keeping Ren
locked.
He focused his attention back on Liliana, who looked at him with utter contempt and hatred.
Ignoring it like always, Amon sat down on her belly.
Liliana's eyes widened with hate as she opened her mouth to scr-
Thud!
A punch landed on the side of her face, shutting down her mouth.
It nocked to the side.
"You...fucking..bas-"
Another punch and blood splashed on the ground, as her face was nocked to the other side.
Her cheeks had burst and her face was covered in blood.
But even then, her eyes gazed at him with utter disgust.
She still carried that pride in her eyes.
That immense pride.
"I swear I'll kill y-" Another punch. Another splash of blood.
"I'll tear you apar-" Another punch on her face.
Multiple tooths broke out.
"I'wl fulckimg rip-" She spoke through broken teeth.
But her eyes suddenly widened and trembled. Amon gazed down at her coldly, his mouth finally opening.
"Hmm? I don't have any idea what you are talking about."
Another punch.
"Why would a mundane and pathetic creature like you pose any threat to me?
Punch.
"If you think this raises even an ounce of fear in me..."
Another punch.
"Then you are wrong."
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
They never stopped, even after her rants died out.
Until finally, Amon's fist stopped in the air, blood dripping down her face.
His cold black eyes gazed down at her.
"P...w.ease..."
Her blood-covered eyes were begging, shedding tears now.
If they had immense pride, disgust, and hate in them before.
Now they were completely dominated by fear.
Fear of him.
She was on the verge of death and she knew it.
The next punch would kill her.
It was no doubt.
But then, a weak voice broke out from the side.
"Hey bitch...."
Amon looked to the side, where Ren barely sneaked out a hand from the gaps between the
rings.
It was very close to Liliana's fingerless hand.
Very much.
But it couldn't go further.
Liliana's trembling bloody eyes moved to him.
"Give me your fucking hand."
