Swfit Takeout

"Hehehehe..." The laughter also rang out from Wiro's lips.

Now that even his goons had been able to knock out Nolan, he knew well there was nothing for him to worry about at all.

Following after his goons who walked towards Nolan, one of them stretched his hand towards his neck to drag him out when suddenly the sound of something being thrown in the air resounded.

It was none other than Nolan's dagger, which soared upwards for a few meters before immediately Nolan's leg moved out of the crater and slammed onto the butt of the dagger, sending it soaring forward with speed, and then...

PUUUUUUCHHHIII!

The sound of something piercing through flesh resounded as the dagger locked into the neck of one of the students, the hot flames scorching at the neck muscles and tearing out the side of the young man's neck, alerting the others behind him who quickly retreated.

Blood spilled forth like a tap as Nolan's hand moved out of the crater, grabbing onto the hilt of his dagger and tearing it out, resulting in the young man's hand wrapping over his throat until he fell down on his knees and slammed facedown, gurgling on his own blood.

But Nolan knew that wasn't enough to kill him. Celestial Heirs' bodies were incredibly resistant to normal life-threatening attacks.

He was pretty sure the young man would survive even if he didn't receive medical care for an entire day and was left there, but Nolan didn't want to kill him.

What he needed was the horrific pain which the young man was currently feeling.

Unknown to Nolan, the crimson flames surrounding his dagger had an extra effect of feeding on Divine Essence resulting In pain and right now, the young man's throat only got redder and redder, with every Divine Essence being sent into his neck to heal the injury doing nothing but to amplify his suffering even more.

"You all have impressive First Descent Abilities. Really impressive, especially you..." Nolan's voice rang out as he pointed the dagger towards the one who had the strange storm power, but soon, the young man felt the entire world going around in a circle in the next instant, followed by an incredibly loud bang that made the entire world turn completely black.

One moment, Nolan was 10 meters away from them, and in the next moment, a figure was now at his feet, blood oozing out from his ears, with his eyes having rolled back to the back of his head.

"Unfortunately, you're still weaker than me..."

"You bastard! DIIIIE!!!" The remaining last goon roared out in anger as he flared once more with light, wanting to use his descent ability, but he soon realized he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried.

"Oh? You seem surprised?" Nolan asked with a mocking smile as he walked towards the young man, whose body repeatedly flared out with light but dimmed before he could activate his technique and could only watch in horror as Nolan arrived before him.

"Your Divine Essence is the weakest of the bunch, making you only capable of activating your technique just once before you run out."

"You're a piece of trash yourself, but you didn't realize that because you were busy bullying some other piece of trash."

"Now go to hell!"

Nolan whispered as the young man immediately punched out towards Nolan's face, but all he did was punch nothing but air as Nolan ducked his head to the side, and then he kicked out with all of his power towards the young man's ribs, causing his body to jerk back in shock.

His head shot forward, and suddenly, the sight of a knee magnified in the young man's vision as Nolan slammed his knee into his face, jerking his head back upwards, with blood oozing out from his mouth.

Flinging his dagger up, Nolan's hand moved, wrapping his hand around the young man's neck and back, and in a blink, he lifted him off his feet before...

BAAAAAAANG!

A powerful noise was made through the alleyway as the young man was smashed onto the ground, leaving nothing but a deep crater, which soon got filled by his own blood.

Stretching his hand to the side, Nolan grabbed his own falling dagger before turning to look at the last figure who had yet to move at all since the beginning of the battle.

The figure, of course, was none other than Wiro. His cautiousness had been able to prevent him from getting knocked out... yet.

"Who... who are you? Nolan doesn't know how to fight like that!" Wiro said in shock as he slowly backed up.

The truth was, among the entire group, Wiro was actually the weakest. He was only the boss because of his brain; his goons were his brawn.

And now, with his goons gone, his power was gone, and he was now left alone, more than pathetic.

His First Descent ability wasn't combat-focused and more knowledge-focused, and with Nolan just having gotten rid of four Celestial Heirs who had combat-focused abilities, he knew well he was doomed, and had no chance.

There was no helping it; he was now screwed for sure.

But even though he knew he would soon be in a world of pain, nothing haunted him more than finding a new Nolan before him.

The person before him was bold, confident, and cunning, knowing well how to lower people's guard and use it against them.

And also, he was incredibly experienced in combat, easily overpowering the goons whom Wiro knew well were just as strong as him.

That wasn't the Nolan that he knew. What could have changed in him?

Just what the hell did Quinn do to him?

"I don't hate your goons much for bullying me at all. They're the smash and you are the grab. Without your brain, they wouldn't think of bullying me"

"All they do is follow your orders like dogs without thinking for themselves, and I'll say, they got exactly what they deserved."

"But you... tell me what you deserved, and I'll reward you accordingly..."
