Chapter 330 Kid Against Reggie (Part 2)

As kid’s voice roared in the air, Reggie just stood there stunned. Not knowing what to make of it, he was sure that the person in front of him right now was vastly different from the one he fought against just a few moments ago.

His mouth gaped open as he tried to think of a way to b up some time and get some distance between himself and the enemy.

“Let’s see how you deal with it,” Using a huge chunk of his mana, Reggie controlled the remaining flames around him as they turned into multiple arrows. Then bringing his hands high in the air, he commanded the arrows and threw them all on Kid whereas he himself used some of the flames to blast beneath his feet and flew back rapidly.

This not only created a distraction but also hid his retreat to a certain extent. Alas, Reggie underestimated Kid’s strength, more so the strength of someone with the bloodline of a progenitor with the consciousness of the progenitor awakened.

The arrows were numerous and hard to defend against but Kid wasn’t some weakling. His consciousness had partially fused with that of the Yeti and it allowed him to peek at the secrets of his power and multiple ways he could use it but that was also limited to how much he could handle. The Yeti had been a strong being that had lived of hundreds of thousands of years and what Kid could access right now was nothing but a drop in the ocean. However even that was more than enough for him.

Kid raised his hand while midway through the motion, his body started to change. His arms and legs started to grow fur while his blueish eyes turned blood red. His face structure sharpened while his mouth opened slightly, revealing a row of deadly fangs that threatened to rip apart anything.

A frosty aura started to converge around Kid as it kept on spreading while his raised hand created an ice shield that covered him from top and with Kid constantly supplying energy to the shield, it kept enduring the rain of fiery arrows while the rest of his body transformed.

After defending against the arrows, Kid looked at Reggie; his eyes blood red while his fangs in full display. His bloodthirstiness was evident from the expression on his face while the gauntlets over his hands also started changing. Their thickness increased while runic engravings appeared on their surface that glowed with a reddish color.

Spikes formed over the tip of the gauntlets while the bracers and shoulder guards also got covered in blood red runes.

Within a couple of minutes, not only had Kid’s aura changed but so had his demeanor. He was now much more intimidating and induced greater fear than before.

“Now feel just a drop of power of the legendary Boogeyman,” It wasn’t Kid’s lips moving nor was there any sound in the air. Reggie was hearing each word in his mind and it scared him to no extent.

However, Reggie was an elf and a warrior mage at that. His experience was vast and during his long life of duty, he had come to know that in such situations, the best course of action was to remain calm and deal with the situation with a clear head.

Therefore, he took the name of the World Tree and raised his sword in one hand while a fire covered the other one.

The sole of his feet went ablaze as he twisted his foot slightly and angled himself in Kid’s direct path. Holding his hand out, he fired a stream of flames while he himself lunged to the right.

He wasn’t going to have a direct confrontation and instead was going to attack from the side, the flames were a distraction while his real attack was from his sword that was also covered in a thin stream of flames.

These flames however were different, they were special type of flames that had consumed almost all of the mana Reggie had and left him running on fumes but this was his bet and he bet his life on this.

While Kid tackled the stream of flames with his own frost aura, he sensed someone close in from his right. Raising the gauntlet, he blocked the incoming attack or what he had thought to be an attack as that was just a feint as right after, a knee connected to his face. It was Reggie’s knee as he jumped in the air and kneed Kid right in his face causing Kid to stumble a few steps back.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Reggie flicked his sword and slid under as he slashed his sword at Kid’s thigh. It was the only place on his body without an ice armor and was only covered in fur. 𝐎𝑣𝐞𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

Despite the resistance from the thick fur, the sword cut through it pretty easily as it opened a deep gash that went from his thigh to his knee.

Blood poured out of it as immediately, an icy aura converged around it to suppress the bleeding and to close the wound.

“Grgghhhh,” Kid’s guttural roar reverberated in the surroundings as his rage erupted like a volcano. His eyes locked onto Reggie as Kid raised both of his hands and fired dozen of icicles at Reggie. The icicles were as big as Kid’s palm while their tips were jagged and sharp. Hence, if pierced once; the icicles would not just cause immense pain but would also make the receiver bleed profusely.

Reggie tried to dodge but he was already too exhausted and with most of his mana used up, he was nothing but a flickering shadow of his former self. A couple of icicles pierced through different parts of his body as Reggie felt his strength leave his body. His clothes stained his bright red, he looked at Kid and smiled.

“Good work kiddo, but you were too late,” He spoke before he fell on his knees. Seeing his reaction infuriated Kid as tried to step forward and finish his prey off once and for all but that was when Kid noticed it. His foot was numb. No! It was just his foot but his whole leg where he had been attacked at before and not just that but the strange feeling of numbness was spreading through his other leg and upper body as well. Kid didn’t like the sensation one bit and anger and pain flashed over his face.

Seeing Kid’s reaction, Reggie smiled even more; “If i die, i take him with me,” Those were his thoughts as he watched more and more and his expression started to change. His smile turned to confusion and then to a frown until an expression of utter horror was displayed over his face.

The horror stemmed from the fact that rather than being stunned, Kid was only angered at first ad later started laughing.

“HahahaHAahaha,” The laughter was domineering and loud, it further messed up Reggie’s already shaken consciousness as Kid converged the frost around him and turned it into a curved dagger. He raised his hand and stabbed the dagger right into his thigh and he did so without a frown on his face. As if pain was a sensation to be welcomed, Kid smiled at Reggie as the feeling of numbness started to decrease.

Currently Kid was using his frost mana to tackle that strange fire that ran amok within his body, numbing him and dampening his strength. His anger acted as a catalyst as well as it increased the flow of his bloodline throughout his whole body. The bloodline of a legendary figure wasn’t to be taken lightly and as it ran throughout Kid’s body, it provided him with immunity against a lot of substances, including the strange fire that Reggie had used when he attacked Kid.

Kid’s smile turned into a grin as he started to take steps towards Reggie. With each step Kid took, an icicle appeared above him while behind him, a path of ice was left. Besides him were pillars of ice that kept on erupting from the ground as they enclosed Reggie in a confined circle. Within a few moments, Reggie was trapped in a prison made of ice. Above him were icicles while all around him were icy pillars that reached above his head and in front him was a path of ice where a monster stood; looking at him with the eyes of a merciless killer.

It was now that fear gripped over him as he realized that killing all of the people here, even saving his brother was something way above his league. He had bit more than he could chew and was now suffering from the consequences.

A glint shone in Kid’s eyes as he raised his hand and a few icicles fell down on Reggie but they didn’t kill him nor did they pierce his vitals, they simply immobilized him,

“It’s not my job to kill you or decide your fate. You are strong and I respect that and in that respect i leave your matter in hands of my leader,”
