Chapter 1360 Neron Vs Kissel [Pt 2]

Chapter 1360 Neron Vs Kissel [Pt 2]

Neron was weaker than Kissel.

He knew that very well.

The man had three Blood Stones, and his knowledge in Magic was most definitely higher than a mere twelve-year-old.

However, the reason Neron had chosen not to escape wasn't merely due to blind rage or an irrational desire to fight.

'It's because I know I can win.' He flashed a fearless smile as a brilliant glint appeared in his eyes.

"I don't know what you're up to, but you're going to regret not escaping when you had the chance.

~VWUUUUUSSSHHH!~

A powerful vortex swirled around Kissel, and brilliant red energy began to get mixed in with the win.

They felt like tiny gems—raindrops of blood—suspended in the air all around him.

"There's not much time left, so I'll have to get a lot tougher.

~PSHU!~

Several of the crimson drops charged at Neron at that very instant, like bullets that could rip through anything they touched.

Neron wasn't nearly fast enough to dodge them, so he opted for a shield instead.

However, the moment he erected his shield, Kissel lunged at him with a trail of darkness behind him.

In no time at all, the old man appeared in front of him, and then did the unbelievable.

"Useless!" In a single breath, he passed through Neron's barrier and appeared behind him.

"W-wha—?!"

Before Neron could even recoil in shock, sharp spikes from the ground rose and pierced him in multiple areas of his body.

"Gahh!" He yelled, fueled by both pain and rage. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

As Kissel drew closer to cast a Restraining Spell on Neron, a sudden burst of pure Mana rushed through the boy.

An explosion erupted instantly.

~BOOOOOM!~

The spikes that had pierced Neron were destroyed by the blast, allowing the boy a chance to rush away from his position.

He darted towards the open field, away from the mansion's building, and Kissel noticed it almost instantly.

"Tch!" The old man clicked his tongue and charged straight towards Neron—both in midair.

By turning intangible, Kissel could go through whatever defense Neron could conjure up, essentially making him unavoidable.

He was also too fast for Neron to catch unawares by surprise attack.

'He's a slippery opponent for sure. That's why...' Neron smirked as soon as he felt Kissel right behind him.

The moment the man turned visible and reached for him, Neron sent a wave of Mana flying from his body.

"Guh!" As expected, Kissel was thrust back by the attack.

'It takes time for Magic to be activated, and he's faster than me in that regard.'

To solve the problem, Neron got rid of the Spellcasting process and simply decided to rely on his intuitive utilization of Mana.

'I can see all the Mana everywhere. I can sense it as well.'

As a result, he could see Kissel wherever he went.

'All I have to do now is to use the Mana within me and attack his Mana wherever I sense it.'

Sure, he would be intangible and invisible, but he was still operating with Mana as the principle.

'That means he can be affected by Mana!'

Kissel groaned as he brushed aside the wave of Mana that Neron sent towards him.

Veins appeared all over his face as a clear sign that he was upset.

No... beyond upset.

"I've had enough, kid!"

Kissel raised his staff, and a massive wave of dark flames began to gather to form an orb of flames.

"[Grand FireBall]!" He yelled while grinning like a madman.

"Let's see how you survive that!" Kissel grinned wildly.

Rather than appear worried, however, Neron only smiled.

"I'd be more concerned with myself if I were you."

As his azure eyes became much brighter, a phenomenal amount of Mana surged from Neron's body as he shot it throughout the area.

"The one who won't survive will be you!"
