Chapter 148 Life and Death Battle (2)
Karsha is fighting with double Longswords and Khinux swinging his nightmare-looking long sword. Their swords clash with deadly booms. Karsha who is lacking in strength will always be pushed back but he never backs down. His swords are firmly gripped and swinging like there is no tomorrow.
Khinux with his colossal body and incredibly Longsword is also slashing at Karsha with deadly precision. Karsha sometimes had to go into a defensive stance and endure the overwhelming force behind Khinux.
"Give it up human, you are no match to me" Khinux spoke, his sword swinging at Karsha's neck. Khasha jumped back evading it narrowly.
"You say that but I am still breathing. Maybe you should examine yourself and wonder why you couldn't kill me in just one swing" Karsha replied sending a powerful ice arc at Khinux. The demon warlord just cut the arc in half like it's nothing. Karsha didn't panic.
The ice attack didn't have any ice essence or Mana in it. It's just a normal swing. Karsha hasn't used any of his skills and techniques yet. He wanted to see just how far he could go without his skills and so far, he is doing bad.
Khinux keeps pressing him. All Karsha could do was endure and defend. he knew through this battle, he would finally learn how to wield the sword like a true swordsman. But that is easier said than done. The forces behind each swing from Khinux are just too lethal.
"Eat this" Karsha sent rapid-fire attacks at Khinux. The fire arcs tore through the air at a very fast pace, however, Khinux just sword his colossal swords sending one huge blood-red arc destroying all the fire arcs and shooting at Karsha. Karsha jumped up and met Khinux's longsword that followed right after the blood arc.
"Your skills are nothing in front of me Human" Khinux taunted.
"We will see about that demon" Karsha replied showing no sign of backing out. Although Karsha's stats are pitiful, his speed is great and thanks to his comprehension of the Lightning element now at an Excellent Affinity, Karsha was able to move even faster. If only he managed to raise the affinity of the Wind element to High or Excellent, his speed would have been many times greater.
"Fire beam" Karsha roared slashing down hard with his left sword. A 50-meter-tall Fire arc shoots
forward toward Khinux. After receiving the 1 Tier upgrade, Fire Beam has become increasingly powerful. It's now a tier 14 skill with SS mastery.
"Blood Cut" Khinux muttered also swinging his sword horizontally. A dense red blood arc shoots out colliding with Karsha's fire arc. The two arcs exploded sending shockwaves all around. Karsha didn't stop there, Three more fire beams followed but Khinux effortlessly defended, cutting them down.
"Like I said, your skills are nothing in front of me," Khinux spoke, his deep voice full of disdain. He lunged at Karsha swinging his sword overhead with both hands.
"Titan Wall" The sword descended on the diamond wall. Karsha was pushed back from just the shockwave. The attack contained no skill, it was just a normal brute strength.
'This idiot is strong' Karsha said gritting his teeth from the pain. The shockwave shook his organs. Karsha never knew just how strong Khinux is so he is just testing the waters. Once he gauges Khinux's strength, he will know which skill to use.
Now that his meridians have undergone first evolution, he can channel more fire essence and Mana into his attacks making them several times stronger. The fire beam attack just now contains only 5% fire essence but it's already powerful.
'Here I go again' Karsha dashed at Khinux once more exchanging hundreds of sword attacks within seconds. Karsha's swordplay is still crude. Although he had copied Nedin's sword moves, he still hasn't perfected it so he is just swinging and imitating Khinux while at the same time perfecting Nedin's swordplay.
Khinux's sword cut a small cut on Karsha's cheek drawing out blood. Karsha is fast and his reaction speed is also fast, but despite using Longswords, he is still lacking when compared to the sword Khinux is holding.
When ever Khinux attacks, all he can do is step back. He couldn't get near him and since his swordplay isn't that good, he couldn't gain the needed insight into his opponent's sword moves. In fact, there is nothing to see. Khinux sword play is just too destructive.
With his devilish armor and longsword, he feared nothing when taking on Karsha's sword attacks. He is like an unstoppable truck. The only thing Karsha could do is keep moving back and doing his best not to get chopped in half by Khinux's colossal sword.
His imitation skill is also in full overdrive, but there's little he can do seeing he is literally fighting for his life. Nevertheless, Karsha never backs down, his brain is doing its thing while his muscles are also working in an overdrive.
'Foot, foot, and then swing' Karsha started noticing patterns in Khinux's strike so his attention was split in half. One on the patterns, the other in making sure he isn't cut in half. It's really taxing but Karsha isn't backing down.
'Now' Karsha swung his sword up with his right hand and thrust with the left. Khinux's huge body twisted sideways barely evading Karsha's belly stab. A huge kick landed on his side sending him flying back.
'Worth it' Karsha coughs a mouthful of blood from a broken rib. He has figured out a pattern in Khinux's attack but failed to take into account the kick. The sword thrust wasn't really aimed at killing the demon, he was just testing the waters and his suspicion is correct, Khinux can be killed if he masters his attack patterns, in other words, he has to flawlessly master Khinux's swordplay.
But there is a problem, from the start till now, Khinux hasn't used any other skill aside from Blood Cut. This means Karsha still hasn't seen his skills and if he uses the Dark Prince Hell Art and fails to kill Khinux, he will be in trouble, so mastering his swordplay seems like the best move.
However, there is another problem, if Khinux notices he is copying his skills, he will flip out and go berserk. Karsha isn't underestimating the Monster demon, on the contrary, he is a little scared. Thundercoil was able to defend against his [Giant Sword], the second level of the Dark Prince Hell art, who is to say Khinux wouldn't be able to?
Karsha needed to be cautious so he could only hide his schemes. If Khinux suspects his motives, it is game over for him, after all, nobody wants their opponents to copy their swordplay mid-battle.
'Well, I guess it's time I try it out and see if I can succeed' Karsha also already made plans in his head. In other not to draw attention, he had made it so that even though he is copying/imitating Khinux's skills, he will entirely show different swordplay.
He already has Nedin's complete swordplay, so he plans on fusing the two together to form a new battle style. It is complex and probably will cause him to have a blunt with death, but if he succeeds, then he wouldn't only be wielding a new battle style, he will also be wielding two chaotic sword plays that defies common sense.
Nedin's swordplay is chaotic and Khinux's own is even more barbaric. Fusing the two will surely birth something dangerous but Karsha is up for it. He knew to rise to the top, you have to face harrowing dangers. His life is on the line here so he has to do whatever it takes to win.
'The fear of the unknown is indeed dangerous' If only he knew the skills Khinux would be using, he would have made adequate preparations. Right now, he is battling against someone he has no idea what his weaknesses are, all he can count on is his big brain and hopes it works faster and more efficiently.
'Time to go to work' Karsha released a sliver of his aura and pumped lightning essence into his cells. At once, his speed multiplied as he dashed at Khinux, his swords in full swing. This time, Karsha is determined to learn all there is to know about Khinux's chaotic swordplay.
'That was close' A hair strange fell as Khinux's sword swung past Karsha's face. Karsha quickly dashed back and sent a Fire beam attack. This gave him a second to quickly tigh his hair into a ponytail.
'Ah, being handsome sure has its downside' he quickly closed the gap between him and Khinux sparking another intense sword fight.
Karsha parried all the attacks and made sure not to let even a single swing come close to his head or chest. His thrust skill has also improved and with his passive ability which amplifies his thrusting by 25%, Khinux always go for thrust strikes.
'Left foot forward and then uppercut swing' Half of Karsha's mind is also doing its thing while the other half is making sure he stays alive.
Left foot forward, right foot back, uppercut swing with a kick' Karsha registered another pattern. Once registered, he will examine it with Nedin's sword patterns and then find a suitable way to assimilate the two,

'Two steps forward, then back, then forward again, stab' Karsha is on fire, and without him knowing an hour passed but he still hasn't figured out even a quarter of Khinux's skill. But that isn't his fault either, only half of his brain is focused on creating a new battle style. The other half is in combat mode so that place is completely useless for this complex task.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Karsha jumped back and shot forward stabbing his sword at Khinux's face. His sword was a few inches away from stabbing his left eye when a dense aura burst out of Khinux's body.
"Void Slash" His voice deepened as he swung his Sword sending a torrent of Dark energy beam toward Karsha.
"Crap..."
