Alessio felt shocked for a few moments when he saw the lightning that suddenly appeared around his enemy's body. Immediately, he knew that his enemy had an abundant amount of Mana. Not only that, but he can also control his Mana well.
The power of bluish-white lightning around Clyde's body gave him an instant boost. Coupled with his speed stat, Clyde can cut the distance in the blink of an eye towards Alessio.
Alessio was taken aback because suddenly Clyde was right in front of his eyes. Even though a moment before, he was still quite far away. Alessio who had already prepared his attack, now had no time to take it out.
*CLANG!*
Alessio used his flaming sword to block Clyde's slash which was covered in bluish-white lightning. They clashed sword attacks in swift motions and flashes of lightning and fire.
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
...
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
...
Their fight spread to the surrounding buildings. Explosions were created and destroyed most of the buildings they passed.
Suddenly, Alessio stretched his left hand and shot fire towards Clyde who was in front of him. Clyde who realized that immediately kicked the wall next to him and dodged to the side.
The fire attack just passed through him and destroyed the building behind him. Clyde landed a few meters from Alessio.
He decided not to attack immediately. And apparently, Alessio chose to do the same. So they just stared at each other with a few meters that separated them.
'At this rate, I guess I can manage.' Clyde thought with a hint of confidence. 'Wait, maybe he hasn't used all his strength yet. I can't let my guard gown. I need to see the development of this fight first.'
On the other hand, Alessio is hiding the anxiety in his heart with a straight face that seems unfazed. While in fact, he is so worried about his enemy right now.
'He's strong. I don't think I can beat him alone.'
Alessio knew how strong the spear-fighting man he had fought earlier was. Earlier, Alessio had not used all of his strength and still had the confidence that he could defeat that man.
But the opponent this time was different. The man in front of him had strength on a different level. Alessio even felt something suffocating against him.
'Is this Demon power?'
Alessio swallowed his saliva. If indeed that man had the power of a Demon within him then this battle would have a certain outcome.
The power level of the blessing from Archangel Uriel that he and his friends received would not be able to match the power of a Demon. If it was only against normal monsters, that blessing would make them overpowered. But not this guy.
Clyde prepares to attack again. His stance changed because he was about to be dashed. And Alessio realized it. So he maximizes the power of his blessing.
*BWOOOSSHHH!!!*
The flames that surrounded Alessio's body grew until it enveloped his entire body. That made Clyde who was already preparing to lunge forward cancel his intention because he was taken aback.
Alessio used this opportunity. He shot up with a speed that normal creatures shouldn't be able to match.
However, Clyde can still see his every move easily. He also increased the power of his [Skill: Pure Lightning] to be able to match the strength of his enemy which seemed to have increased.
Clyde shot forward. Then a powerful shockwave was created when the two of them clashed with each other.
Clyde saw the look on his enemy's face. Before, he seemed calm but he looked troubled now. He gritted violently as if holding back the force too great for him.
So Clyde decided to increase the intensity of his attacks. The lightning around his body flashed even brighter and whipped around savagely.
Clyde threw a kick at Alessio and sent him behind. Without letting too long a pause, Clyde dashed out with incredible speed and then swung his sword.
*CLANG!*
"Urgh!"
A groan full of difficulty escaped from Alessio's mouth, showing how strong the force he received from that swing was.
Clyde also heard about it and he immediately realized that right now, he might be in an advantaged situation. So Clyde thought to make the most of this opportunity.
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
...
ραпdα -n૦νe| , c૦m Clyde continues to be on the offensive side while Alessio can only defend all of his sword slashes.
The burden that Alessio was getting heavier every second. He was also certain that his blade had already suffered heavy damage from all the attacks it had received.
Alessio took something from his Inventory. It was something that looked like an orb the size of a palm.
Alessio crushed the red orb with his palm and immediately an explosion of fire was created. The explosion was so big and sudden that it threw Clyde into the air.
'Shit, what happened?!'
Clyde turned again to Alessio. The explosion destroyed the building where they had fought and set it on fire.
'Is that some kind of suicide bombing?'
After he managed to regain his footing and felt no significant pain in his body, Clyde prepared to lunge again. However, he could no longer see Alessio.
The fire began to dissipate, and he saw no more of his enemy's form. Clyde spat out a curse, then cast his gaze around. But still didn't find him.
He only heard the sound of fighting in the distance after his battle was over. It seemed that Samuel's party members were fighting Uriel's other party members.
So Clyde headed straight for the fight. He was sure that Alessio was there.
~~~
Meanwhile, the others fight.
"HYYAAAHHH!!!"
Colmano's massive battle ax swung down hard from above. Feeling that he couldn't survive it, Samuel jumped aside to dodge.
*CLANG!*
The huge battle ax hit the ground and created a crack several tens of meters long. Samuel widened his eyes because he didn't expect to see that much damage.
'I can't fight him alone!'
Samuel felt that he would really die if he forced himself to fight the beast alone. But on the other hand, Leyan, Kiara, and Haru who had come to aid seemed to be in the same predicament against Cuzia.
