novelMonster vs Monsters
| ← Ch.676 | Ch.678 → |
Kevin and Kanae made their way out of the forest towards the tower. Kanae's lips twitched when she saw the destruction around them. How many buildings have collapsed?
"Kanae, can you still fight?" Kevin asked.
Kanae nodded her head."Don't worry. I have more than enough stamina to play with one more person."
"This particular person might take all of your energy during the fight."
"I'm ready, Kevin.
"If you dare to attempt something like that again, I'll chase you to the underworld and drag you back, " Kevin reminded.
Kanae smiled."I don't have any plan to do the same thing and Kevin, the same thing applies to you."
"We have promise, then."
"Yes!"
They had just reached the broken tower when they saw Mike and Neo come out with a haggard appearance. Their clothes were disheveled, with traces of blood on Neo's feet and Mike's hand.
"Mike, Neo!" Kanae waved her hand.
"Boss! Rei!" Neo's eyes lit up when he saw Kanae with Kevin. Although their appearances were not the best, they were still alive.
"Are you alright?" Kanae noticed their wounds and frowned. It would take a long time for them to heal their wounds.
"No worry, " Neo grinned."Ah, but don't climb this tower."
"Ferdinand is there, right?" Kevin asked. The only person who could possibly injure the two of them fatally should be Ferdinand.
Mike nodded his head. The memories of him being defeated in mere one move caused him to feel rather embarrassed."Boss, Ferdinand is really a monster. It'll be unwise if you just go ahead and fight against him."
Kevin's gaze flickered when he heard how Mike praised the man. Even though he knew that they might not be the other party's opponent, this was the only chance left. If he didn't try to defeat Ferdinand here and now, there wouldn't be any other chance in the future.
From his connection, he had found out that Ferdinand has a lot of connections outside this city. After all, the man was the country's former talented soldier. If he let Ferdinand out of this place, there would not be any other chance for them to fight against him anymore.
"In a way, we're also monsters, " Kanae grinned."You should evacuate first with Mike, Neo. We'll be following you after we have finished dealing with Ferdinand."
Neo looked at the two of them worriedly. Even though he knew that it would be dangerous if they let Ferdinand out because of his power, he didn't want to lose both of his friends. They were extremely precious to him.
"Be careful."
"We will."
The two of them rushed inside and headed to the stairs right away. The broken tower didn't have an elevator any longer, so they had to use the stairs if they wanted to reach the place.
"Do you think he'll come down from this place or use the other building?" Kanae asked as they run.
Before Kevin could answer, the two of them sensed tremendous killing intent directed at them. Their body tensed up as they glanced upwards. They could see a man was walking down the stairs at an unhurried pace. However, the pressure from his presence alone caused both of them to feel extremely tense.
There was no need for a test. They knew for sure that Ferdinand was way stronger than them.
"Kanae, wait for my instruction, " Kevin glanced to his side and saw that Kanae was no longer there.
He looked to the side and saw Kanae jumped to the railing and used it to push herself towards Ferdinand. Her sword was making its way to the man, but Ferdinand simply took out his blade and blocked her attack. His green iris stared at the woman coldly.
Bang!
He pushed Kanae back. She somersaulted in midair before landing on the stairs once more. Her gaze was locked on the man.
"The experiment is total a failure for the Servo, " Ferdinand said in a deep tone."You're stronger after you drink the medicine, but you will never match me."
"So what?" Kanae smiled coldly."You already had your fun with the experiment before. Let me have my fun fighting against you too."
Kevin arrived at Kanae's side as he glanced at Ferdinand's direction with wariness. Even though he wanted to scold Kanae for moving so suddenly, his attention was fully on the powerful man on the stairs.
"It's a pity indeed, " Ferdinand looked coldly at Kanae, who had dashed to reach him once again. Not far from her, Kevin also sprang from his position towards Ferdinand. Their swords were heading towards different ways, but Ferdinand nimbly moved his body.
Ferdinand's sword parried Kevin's sword while his body avoided Kanae's attack. Kanae spun her body around and directed her sword to the man's stomach while Kevin moved back and attacked his side. This time, Ferdinand blocked the two of them using his blade.
Clang!
As their blade clashed, Kanae and Kevin could feel the immense power flowing out from the other side of their sword. The two of them moved back and carefully landed on the floor.
"Both of you have to die today, " Ferdinand remarked."You have the power and talent to achieve greatness with me. But since you choose to fight me, I have to eliminate you."
Kanae snorted."Siding with you has never been an option."
With that, the three of them clashed again. Different with Aria who has flaws here and there, which allowed the two of them to wound him, Ferdinand didn't have any. He moved extremely fast and efficient. Coupled with his monster-like strength, there was little chance for them to strike back.
They knew that Ferdinand had taken the medicine too, but they didn't expect this man to be this strong.
Clang!
Kanae was pushed back. Her eyes were locked into Ferdinand in the state of extreme concentration. She could feel her hand tremble as the aftereffect from the impact. However, this was not the time to think about this.
From the moment they decided to stop Ferdinand, they had been preparing themselves for a bitter fight against him. The man was renowned as a famous veteran from war, so they shouldn't expect any less from him.
Dashing from her position, Kanae attacked the man once again. She kicked the railing, which placed herself above the man. Using the sword, she swung it hard towards his head.
Clang!
The metal clashed roughly. From the side, Kevin had stepped forward with his sword directed at Ferdinand's stomach. The man pushed Kanae back and lowered his blade, clashing with Kevin's sword.
Kevin's eyes narrowed. The reflex of this man was simply too good. Even though the two of them attacked from every direction, he would be able to find a way to counter them one way or another. If this continued, they wouldn't be able to defeat him at all.
Switching his stance, he thrust his sword forward. Ferdinand blocked his attack as he sensed that Kanae was attacking him too. He sidestepped to the side, barely avoiding Kanae's attack before he punched forward.
In the midair, Kanae blocked his punch using her sword. While it caused graze on the man's fist, the momentum pushed her back. She was about to spun when she noticed the window behind her.
Prang!
Her body crashed heavily to the window. Inside the room, Kevin was shocked. He was about to run towards her direction when a blade came near his head.
Kevin ducked and stepped back. His gaze flashed with fury.
"Now, shall we continue with the other one?"
