My Sword!

A teenager was running away on his feet while his figure on the way keeps diving between shadows and coming out of it. A young man suddenly jumped down out of window from the building in front of him.

Slam.

The young man condition was quiet severe that might make anyone turn their head away from him. His visible skin was scorched, peeled, cracked badly. His expression was in pain but it didn't have ability to hide his anger. His clothes on his limbs are barely covering the lower part of his limbs.

"…You piece of trash…Huff…How long do you think you are going to run?"

His breathing was ragged and unstable along with his speech. His body was shaking up and down from anger as he breathed furiously.

Adam stood up on his feet and wait for him to make his move. If he wants to kill him, he need to hit him with his all spells again but it doesn't seems like it will happens as his skill told him not to.

Adam has been furiously using his shadow walking to escape but this young man had been able to track him again and again. Adam deduced that this might be the same way he found him in the first place.

The young man jumped forward and punch him on his chest which Adam just dodged by falling backward. Young man didn't give up and raise his kick toward his face. Adam duck down and young man brought his foot down which he dodge by falling inside shadow. He comes out of few meters away behind him but young man was already standing behind him, ready to send him back to ground…in brutal way.

Adam rolled sidewise and stands up with lower stance as he prepared his fire punch. He already knows that young man was waiting for him to use his shadow walking so he took advantage of it and launch and counter attack. Adam punched his ribs with flat hit! An explosion rang out as young man launched backward.

Adam prepared his dark ground but young man suddenly rolls on the ground and fixed his body balance. He digs his feet on the ground and ran backward. Adam released his dark ground but his face look like he ate shit when he saw that he missed his spell.

Young man readied himself to jump toward him and looked at him from outside of his spell while Adam had no choice to cancel his spell to save it for later exchange. The moment he saw the dark color in ground shading down, he jump forward without any reservation and attacked him.

Adam hurried jump into shadow and ran away. He reached to an abandoned site but Adam can see lights hundred meters away toward north from him. He rested by a tree as exhaustion start taking over his body.

Potions are not some miracles that bring out mana and regeneration out of nowhere. Mana potion exhaust mental strength and Recovery potion exhaust stamina.

He had two options in his hand. He either fights him and dies or ran away. He has reasons for both things as he rather not wants to leave this man alive as he knows his abilities.

He also has a reason, an obvious reason at that, to not follow with his first option. He just doesn't want to die. He had still didn't lose his virginity. Is he really going to die just like that?

Adam suddenly side stepped as his felt his Intuition warn him of danger. The tree, he was laying on, and the one besides it were hit by something and crashed backward into trees behind. Adam popped his head and looked at the bench that had been crashed with trees. If he had hit, he would have taken some solid damage right now.

He traced out the trajectory and looked in the direction where a dark figure with scorched marks stands with an angry look. This time he didn't say anything and rushed toward him. Adam roll backward and went into shadow of the tree behind him and rush away. The young man chased after him as he noticed a faint shadow moving between shadows.

Adam had noticed something that he was not using potion or anything even though his condition is so worse. Adam felt that his condition might be worse than it looks since he is not taking potions. Potions effect might exhaust him which will make him vulnerable to his attacks. It gave him a confidence that a single attack of his AOE spells might do their job.

His storm explosion has two attacks as first lightning bolt falls from the sky at the target and next it explode at the contact which make the damage all more tyrannical! Lightning had mostly done some great internal damage that led him to this state…

Adam didn't attack him seriously because he wants to put everything in his last attack. He leads him to more open area and also consume mana potions since this will be his last attack.

Adam comes out the shade of tree and dash toward the center of the open area. Adam turns around and looked at the young man who stopped at his feet with wary expression. It's actually hard to tell by his facial expression because of his dark face but it is more about air around him.

"…done running?"

"…I am giving you chance to catch your breath."

Young man didn't say anything further and rushed toward him. Adam let him come closer and released his dark lock when he was in front of him. Young man dodged it and jump forward. Adam never had any hoped for his dark lock to stop his movement so he chose to release his dark ground which young man dodge by jumping on the air.

"…Now what are you going to do?"

Adam didn't waste any time to swipe his hand to release his hand but stopped midway as an explosion occurred right at the feet.

Boom.

Explosion was as strong as E- Rank and Adam took a direct it from it! He was thrown backward like a ragged doll and slammed into a tree. His eyes rolled backward as he tried hard not to lose his consciousness. He coughed out the blood as he felt his inside has been rearranged themselves because of the explosion. His condition was not much different from the young man in front of him.

Young man landed on the ground and looked at Adam with a smirk. He was playing with something in his finger that Adam was unable to identify because of his blur vision. His head was spinning and world seems to be distorting with colors.

"…You probably didn't expect this right?"

He was actually playing mana bombs in his hands. When Adam used his AOE spell when he closed in, He rolled a mana bomb at his feet when he jumped. He jumped precisely to get his attention which Adam did with enthusiasm.

Mana Bombs were normally not used by anyone above G-Rank but people keep it to save their mana at emergency moments. Those who had reached above G-Rank had are all prideful ones which led to them being less reliant on mana bombs. Their pride only increases with their rank.

Young man is not much different as he despised the idea of relying on anything besides his fist but this kid in front of him is too much weird. He possessed four unknown Art that he have no idea about! Young man can't even tell how many spell he actually possessed at all!

He had already decided to take him back with him. He is sure he will be rewarded with large resources if he offers this kid to his superior. He planned to take him back…no, after he has his fun with him. His mouth formed into a terrifying smirk as he thought about it…

He moved toward him and stands in front of him. Adam had already lost his half consciousness. His head keeps spinning with eyes rolling back and forth around. Adam felt pain all over his body but a numb feeling was there

"…Looks like you can't even tell what is up or down…It's fine I will treat you veryyyy nicelyyy since you are my golden hen…"

He extended his hand toward him and bent down slightly to grab him. He raised his head as he heard grass stepping sound in front of him. A small cube-like thing was thrown toward him but the thing that caught his eyes was rune engraved in it! It's a genuine Rune!

He hurried backed off and cube-like thing roll on the ground. The runes glowed on it and dimmed down vanishing like from its surface. A cold wind blows as it travels through his whole body, making his wound itchy. He looked up and noticed a androgynous black hair teenager was lifting his target on his shoulder.

"…What the hell do you think you are doing?!"

Young man flew into rage as he charged toward both of them. He had done so much hard work to capture him yet someone was stealing him right in front of him. Not to mention, that stupid prank just now happened.

Young man was just a meter away when something smashed on him from the side and threw him along the force. At the last moment, his vision captured a sneer on the face of black hair androgynous teenager. He swears with everything he has that he is going to rip that ugly disturbing smirk.

The young man was thrown him into his side. He slid on the ground and looked at the figure that smashed into him. He was a handsome teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes. He held a shield with sharp end in his hand.

Young man put force into his legs to stop himself at his face and prepare him to charge forward.

Ethan beat him to it and threw a mana bomb toward him.

"…Lucas! Cover us!"

Boom.

Lucas hurriedly moves and stands in front of Ethan with his shield. Mana bomb explodes in front of young man. He held his ground but was still push back by explosion. His injuries got worsen and cry rang out inside the park, making all birds flew away.

Body Art practitioner have high endurance as they train their body. Unlike Weapon User, Body Art Practitioner strengthened their body permanently according to their Art. It was not a pain-free experience as they have to grit their teeth for it. A cry or scream from such people only means that they are on their last leg. That's precisely the current situation.

Explosion died down and smoke filled the area. Both of them charge forward with their weapon while Ethan keeps his sword in one hand while his gun was tugged into pants behind. He will only pull it out when it will need. He was not sure he will be of any use in first place so he just played along.

Both of them reached him amid the smoke and attacked him. Ethan swung his sword that was easily dodged by young man. He countered attack him with the punch but Lucas slammed him with his shield. This time it was not a surprise attack so he just fall a step back and hold his ground.

He twisted his body which makes Lucas fall forward by his own force and grab him by his neck. Ethan jumped up on him and swung his sword on his hand which was grabbing Lucas.

Broken.

Sword broke right into two after his swing. Ethan was horrified beyond reasoning!

"MY SWORD!"

The young man kicked the Lucas at his chest. Lucas flew backward and slammed into the tree. Young man grabbed Ethan by his neck and looked at Lucas who just stands up after the crashed. Ethan kicked the air and used his hand to pry open his grip but it only earn him tighter grip.

"…You stand where you are if you cherished his life."

Lucas flinched as he stopped right at his feet. Young man looked at him and considered his option. Only Lucas is a threat to him and this trash is nothing…

"…What are you doing?"

He looked at Ethan who was smiling at him while being held by him through his neck. Ethan had crossed his clenched hands over his neck-gripping arm. Young man found him a bit creepy but his expression into pure horror when Ethan opened his clenched hands and there were mana bombs trapped between all his fingers!
