I grit my teeth as I try to counter his blades with my own, but he continues growing faster and faster as the anti-magic mana coating his body grows thicker and yet more condensed at the same time. All the way until he manages to knock one of my swords out of my arm while said arm is returning to my body, sending the blade flying straight into one of the Class A magicians helping me out.
And it doesn’t end there as he manages to knock my other blade out of my other hand too, skewering another Class A magician in the process. Mostly because said blades are made of Arcadian Metal, which can pierce through barriers if said barriers aren’t strong enough.
The Class S anti-magic magician grins at me with a rather terrifying expression on his face. But the moment he turns his attention to the ice covering the rift, I summon another blade from my storage device before swinging it straight at him now that he’s distracted.
Unfortunately for us all, he manages to react in time. Only to redirect the blade though. Not to completely stop it.
So instead of piercing through his heart like I was trying to do, my sword ends up piercing straight into his shoulder. The shoulder of the arm that is not severed.
This time I feel myself grinning a little bit. Both at finally getting a hit and at the furious and horrendously shocked look on his face.
I can tell my blow managed to shatter some of his pride. Just by that look.
He looks like his entire world view is breaking. Like it shouldn’t have been possible for me to hurt him or something.
Which is ridiculous, but considering how powerful and young he is despite being a Class S magician, it makes sense that he would feel that way.
The man lets out another roar and sends another anti-magic shockwave through the entire ceilingless chamber. Then he follows it up by suddenly speeding up again and slicing me to pieces, only for said pieces to reform.
And right as I’m wondering why he bothered doing that, I realize he somehow managed to slice apart my sword as well. And not just that one. He destroyed the other two swords I have out as well.
Are you fucking kidding me?! Does he realize how hard it is to get those things?!
I glare at him, only for a thought to flash through my mind that calms me down a bit.
Right. I can just bug the Republic to get me new ones when they join us.
Almost forgot they’re joining us.
That aside, it’s still a problem. Because now I only have one blade left. The last one in my storage device.
I really should’ve asked for more.
On the other hand, he is still holding both of his blades. And he’s using mana to keep his newly injured arm moving. Just like his other arm that is made mostly of mana.
Despite what I did, he still seems more focused on trying to break the rift out of the ice than on me. Even though a lot of the ice was dissipated with his latest shockwave.
Probably because I’m immortal and he can’t kill me. So that rift is his only possible way of dealing with me.
I look to the other Class A magicians in the chamber, only to find a lot of them having been knocked out by the shockwave of anti-magic mana. Either that or they just had their barriers shattered so they’re backing away to protect themselves.
As for the Class S magicians? They’re still trying to reinforce the ice over the rift.
I grit my teeth a little as I look back at the anti-magic magician, only to notice something strange. And the moment I notice it, my eyes automatically move towards the blood flowing from the Chairman’s wound. The one I gave him.
This wound is far deeper than the others and is still bleeding, unlike the other wounds that he sealed up with anti-magic mana the moment he got them to make them not bleed.
Huh… this may be the first time I’ve been up close and personal with the blood of a Class S magician.
And it smells… enticing…
I immediately feel my bloodthirst acting up as black veins no doubt spread across my face. And for some reason I feel a strong urge to drink that blood. Probably because it has a lot of mana in it.
The Chairman looks startled by my sudden change in attitude. Enough so that he actually focuses a little bit more attention on me than he was doing before.
Although just a little. Not enough in my opinion.
After a brief pause, I rush straight at him with my claws extended before reaching out to scratch at his armor. Only for said claws to end up only leaving some scratch marks on the armor without actually damaging it.
The man scoffs before swinging both of his blades in an X formation across my body. Chopping me into bits before I reform perfectly fine again as he is rushing over towards the ice.
After a brief pause, I rush over to one of the Class A magicians before drinking his blood and feeling my strength rising a little bit thanks to it. Then I sprint straight at the Chairman again to claw at him. And this time I manage to push him a few feet to the left while leaving some slightly deeper cuts on the armor. But not enough to really do anything.
And this time the Chairman turns around and glares at me before grabbing me by the throat and coating me in anti-magic mana.
Then he just throws me all the way out of the building with an incredibly irritated look on his face. But I stop myself before I get far through the use of death flames.
A faint smile spreads across my face in the midst of the bloodthirst.
After turning around, I see the Chairman rushing over towards the ice and focusing on a large scale spell to no doubt shatter said ice.
So I activate multiple acceleration spells right behind me while pulling out my last sword the moment my body shoots straight at the man.
He notices me within seconds, turning his head at an angle to see me, but before he can do anything, Incendia – who has been hiding this entire battle – suddenly swoops in and attacks his face with her talons.
And my blade pierces straight through the center of his back while he’s blinded.
