Another World Mall

Clink!

Clink!

A series of clicking sounds echoed across the city, followed by a rumbling sound.

Kayne once again grabbed Radric and threw him hard to the building on the side before punching the building.

The building cracked, then collapsed, burying Radric underneath it.

Radric waved his blade several times, cutting down the rubble and securing his escape route.

So that Kayne couldn't stop him from escaping, Elder Fan came from the side, striking him with a swift swing.

Yet Kayne stopped him with the back of his glove.

Kayne overwhelmed Elder Fan with his speed and eventually grasped his neck. Knowing what would happen next, Gerald appeared from the side, thrusting Kayne's arm with his spear.

"!!!" Kayne clicked his tongue and let go of Elder Fan to avoid the attack. Out of all the three Tier 8 humans, the only one that could threaten his life was Gerald.

Before he could shift his stance to deal with Gerald, the spear blade suddenly got extended as Gerald pushed the back of the spear, turning this spear into a sword.

"Kretain Sword Technique, Swirling Phantasm."

Gerald took a deep step as he slashed Kayne. Kayne jumped away, raising both arms in front to protect his body.

The blade struck his arms, but it couldn't penetrate further than the outer skin. Kayne lifted up his arms even further to let the sword attack fly above him, hitting the building behind him.

Surprisingly, the building was split in two.

"Heh." Kayne smirked. "That's not enough, young man."

"Tsk." Gerald saw Kayne about to punch him from the side, so Gerald kicked it from below while lowering his stance to ultimately avoid the attack.

However, Kayne easily adapted to Gerald's trick and simply threw a barrage of punches to overwhelm him.

'As expected, he might not have a unique ability, but his pseudo unique ability is definitely top-notch. Martial Talents…When people knew he didn't inherit a unique ability from his father, people were disappointed.

'However, it all changed once he grew up. His martial talent was so high that he mastered all kinds of weapons and understood all kinds of techniques.

'Later, he was known as the martial genius hailing from the Hacfield family. A lot of organizations, families, companies, or even countries want to invite him to take a look at their manuals so that he could perfect them.

'However, his real talent lies on the battlefield. He knows which technique he has to use despite having thousands of techniques.'

Kayne squinted his eyes. When he punched from the right, Gerald utilized one technique. When he came from another side, Gerald used a different technique.

He kept going at him, but Gerald kept countering him with the perfect technique. This was what made Gerald stronger than most Tier 8 humans.

Still, Kayne was a Tier 9 human. His strength had no bounds.

Every time he struck Gerald, he hit him with so much power that his muscles would itch. In addition, he kept receiving the attack from Gerald to get more and more power from his unique ability.

Even Gerald could feel Kayne's increasing strength. At this rate, Kayne would become so strong that Gerald couldn't handle him anymore.

In fact, Gerald had been preparing for a long fight to give Clovis and the others enough time to escape. But Kayne took advantage of it and weakened his defense to a certain extent so that this normal blow would still hurt him.

Gerald gritted his teeth. He could still somehow keep up with Kayne, but he doubted he could last longer than ten minutes because of his growing strength.

"It's my turn now!" Kayne shouted, his eyes turning bloodshot. He punched Gerald with all his strength.

"Elseingarde Shield Technique, Deflection Round." Gerald spun the shield while receiving the punch, deflecting the power and dispersing most of them in all directions.

As a result, he was pushed back by several steps, much better than being launched into the building behind him.

Elder Fan and Radric hurriedly helped him, attacking Kayne in one way or another, but none of their attacks were fatal enough. No, it was more accurate to say that Kayne was letting them hit him.

Kayne punched Radric, who tried to block his attack with his blade. However, Kayne's power had increased to an alarming level.

Ultimately, he got blasted to another building with so much force that he spat out a mouthful of blood. His left hand was broken as he was struggling to get up.

Elder Fan's fate was not that different. The moment Kayne grabbed him, he threw Elder Fan so far into the air. Elder Fan's body was spinning out of control.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he managed to gain his balance, but his body was still falling so hard to the ground, causing his right foot's bones to crack.

"Kh." Gerald gritted his teeth. He could barely keep up with Kayne now. 'Is this it? But I still hear some noises in the back. Have they not evacuated yet?'

Gerald didn't know what was stopping them. If even Clovis could get away, the fight would have stopped to a certain extent, since they had to chase after him.

Besides, Clovis should have been smart enough to figure out someone was attacking from the side, so the best option was to run away.

Yet, for some reason, they were still there. It could only be explained by one thing. They were stopped by another group.

Kayne seemed to know about it as well. That was the reason he allowed them to injure him. He had to gain all the strength from his unique ability and finished the battle fast.

"Although I've had my fun, this is the end, kid." Kayne harrumphed and punched Gerald.

"Inxantia Spear, Elong Thrust." Gerald thrust forward, but Kayne didn't bother to hold back anymore. He confronted the spear with his fist.

Because of the spear's quality, it didn't shatter. However, Gerald didn't have enough strength to withstand Kayne's strength, resulting in Kayne's punch overpowering him.

The spear tilted up, giving Kayne the opportunity to continue that punch on Gerald. At the last moment, Gerald positioned the handle in front of him to take this punch, but his arms almost snapped as his body was being blown away.

He was pushed so far that he couldn't help but hear a familiar voice.

"Dad?"
