And I also heard the sounds and felt the shockwaves from Owen's clash not so far away. So I held my dagger a little more tightly and got ready to attack.

"Alright, let's see how I fare without using my bloodline abilities" I muttered and a rare smile couldn't help but escape my ever expressionless face.

"BOOOM" we both shot towards each other in the air. I swung my dagger towards his chest and a bone white substance instantly grew there ready to block my attack but it was a feint, I swiftly redirected my blade towards his neck but he promptly parried it with his arm covered in bone and then his knee aimed for my stomach but was grasped firmly In my palm.

Holding his knee firmly, I held my dagger between my teeth before I punched him squarely in the chest but not before his chest generated the white bone but the punch still sent him flying back tens of meters anyway. Our entire exchange barely took two seconds but man, 'that bone substance is hard as hell' I thought as my right fist which I used to punch his chest ached quite a bit.

"Kekeke, did that hurt?" The asura crackled as if he wasn't felling any pain from the punch, as even when blocked by the white bone, the punch should be able to cause shock from impact that would rattle his insides, not unless....

"You fool, our bones also have shock absorbtion, as long as I block your attack, I'll win this in the end kekeke" the asura said, right what I thought, shock absorbtion.

Without a word, I shot towards him again this time starting with a slash to his side which he didn't even bother to dodge but instead swong his sharp blade like bones he constructed on his arm towards me to trade an attack for an attack. I swiftly manuevered to the side dodging the bones but my attack didn't deal him any damage either.

We both flew back to get some space, and then charged again, there was only one way to beat him while I handicapped myself like this, that's to cut him faster than he can regenerate and the best way to catch him off guard will be a feint.

We continued fighting bone against blade, fist against chest, and seamless evasions and finesse, the asura's got skill and technique, I'll give him that. We came at each other again, he had stopped talking realizing the seriousness of the fight and that a single mistake could cost him his life.

He swung his leg towards my side but I grasped his shin and threw him away. As we shot towards each other this time, I shot my dagger in a piercing manner but he blocked with his forearm, but then I aimed my new at his gut which he held with his palm.

As he held my knee, my dagger was already aimed at his neck once again but just as the white bone had started to grow from there, I swiftly changed direction mid swing and aimed at his chest but again the white bone started to grow on his chest.

But this time, I didn't change directions, instead I threw my dagger towards my left hand hanging low by my side.

The moment the dagger reached my left hand, I grasped it in reverse grip and then slashed up from his nether regions up to his chest where the whit bone started.

As blood rushed out from the fatal wound and his mouth simultaneously, he looked at me in shock but I didn't take any chances while he was shocked, I punched my hand through the right side of his chest, not the left this time, I felt something squishy beating in my palm and I promptly squeezed bursting it into pieces.

He pummeled down from the sky. "Well that was anticlimactic" I muttered. I defeated him without any bloodline abilities and that's to say he was an extremely strong asura. This white bone of his was no joke. "Well, that's that, let me check out on Owen".

I flew towards where I was hearing sounds of fighting and soon about two hundred meters away, I saw Owen and the peak gold rank asura still going at it but it was already reaching it's climax. I wasn't surprised, after all he was in peak gold rank and Owen was using his bloodline ability even if he was still holding back.

You see, Owen's bloodline is mind related, members of his family can have either telepathy, psychokinesis, technopathy, psychic assualt, mind control, and any other mind related abilities.

Owen's bloodline is psychokinesis, meaning, he can manipulate physical matter without physical interaction, and also being able to exert force with physical interaction as well as extrasensory perception. Not like he uses the last one well, seeing as most of the times, I sense things before him.

But what I was most sure of is that he also has another bloodline. It's like I could feel it, and it wasn't only him, I also felt the same feeling from Quinn. But that aside, I saw the fight coming to an end as Owen cut the jugular of the asura, or where it's supposed to be in humans, the fight came to an end as the asura was beheaded.

"Took you long enough" I quipped. " So he's a rank above me, I should be asking you why you took so long" he retorted.

"Just decided to test myself without my bloodline abilities".

"Hmmm good idea, remind me to try it next time" he said while nodding.

"In which direction did your family's cadets go?" I asked. "Now that is the problem, I don't remember" he drawled.

"Really?" I asked in a deadpan voice.

"What? We are literally hundreds of meters away from where we separated, how do you expect me to keep track of directions while fighting?" he argued.

"Good argument, but still we have to pick a direction to head in" I replied. "Who cares about any direction? Let's just fly at full speed in any direction and kill any asura we encounter" he quipped.
