Chapter 2002: Reliving the Nightmare of the Camp (Part 3)
……
Uno stood still while observing the auras that the opposing side was emitting, especially when the familiar feeling was growing stronger, the longer the two were exposed to this power that seemed to be coming from the pill that they consumed.
After watching them for a while, Uno finally opened his mouth, seeming to give his verdict. “A whole minute at most. That is the longest they can last under the exposure of that power.”
But he later furrowed his brows before saying to Shin. “But that is still long enough, given that they are not supposed to tap on that power.”
Shin understood what Uno was talking about since he was somewhat familiar with this power as well. Even Uno could not freely touch that power despite his condition.
Shin himself had also tried to touch it as well during the time that he was in deep slumber and even after waking up. However, he realized that even with their special situation, tapping into that power was not something that someone at their level.
Even if he could use a part of it from time to time, whatever he controlled was nothing but a tiny drop in that blazing ocean. Any more than that would either drown or burn him to death.
While the two were casually chatting, Andras and Feng finally made their move.
Bang!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Their figures disappeared from their respective positions while producing a strong shockwave behind them during the process.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Andras left a series of afterimages behind him while running around Uno, circling like a shark hunting for its prey.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Feng suddenly cut through the air while charging straight to Uno, who still wore his indifferent expression on his face despite how threatening the two were.
Shing!
Feng swung his sword multiple times, summoning a barrage of bright flashes in the air that intertwined with one another and formed a huge sword net that surrounded Uno.
Uno just stared at the sword net with little interest due to the aura of ’Origin’ that was mixed with it, but did not take it that seriously.
After observing them for a while, Uno casually raised his left hand, which was currently covered with immense Primal Demonic Power.
He made a palm blade with it before suddenly swinging it horizontally.
Swoosh!
It was not flashiness this time as well. Aside from a black flash of light that suddenly appeared and cut through the sword net that his opponent had just thrown.
Shing!
However, yet another attack quickly followed.
Feng cut through the air, leaving a trail of light behind him along with the sword in his hands. He had drawn a line with his sword, which flew straight at Uno in almost an instant.
Ding!
Unfortunately, that killer sword suddenly halted when its blade was caught in between Uno’s fingers.
He pinched on the sword while trying to observe the aura of ’Origin’ a bit closer. That was also when he realized that it was not the pure powers that he was expecting.
“It is neither a byproduct of certain energies nor a cheap copy of the original root, but it still possessed an authentic aura of ’Origin’,” he mumbled before letting go of the sword.
Shing! Shing!
It was at this moment that Andras suddenly materialized behind him and launched a series of slashes with his daggers.
Uno slightly turned his body, facing the incoming attack sideways, before swinging his left hand and using it as a blade to block the daggers of his opponent.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Metallic sounds repeatedly rang as his hand continuously collided against the pair of deadly daggers that were coming after him.
Shing!
Taking advantage of his slight distraction, Feng stepped forward before swinging his sword once again, executing a complicated sword technique that took strange angles to attack and made them harder to deal with.
“Heh!” Uno smirked a little when he saw that before adjusting his stance. He faced both sides sideways, letting them face his left side alone.
Clang!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A series of metallic collisions rang once more as Uno steadily blocked their attacks with a single hand. There was even a smug smile on his face, seemingly provoking the two on purpose.
Despite being under the effects of the special drugs, the two were still able to maintain their sanity, so they were somewhat affected by the taunting move of their opponent.
This feeling was further intensified when they realized that Uno was still standing within the circle that he had somehow drawn on the ground earlier.
Gritting their teeth, they increased their pace and strongly ignited the circulating energies within their bodies, which further intensified the effects of the drugs that they had taken.
Boom! Boom!
With the stronger wave of power being provided in their bodies, the series of attacks that they were trying at Uno became even more powerful.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They had also launched much stronger and more advanced techniques, which carried more destructiveness them.
Adding that they were also coordinating with one another on top of that, their attacks became much deadlier compared to what they were doing earlier.
“Heh!” Uno continued to smirk when he saw their actions.
Their attacks were indeed a bit dangerous to deal with, but that would only be the case if they reached their full power.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
His left hand moved in flashes, seemingly striking multiple directions at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Feng and Andras then suddenly realized that quite a few meridians in their arms were struck, affecting the firepower of their respective movements.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A few of the strikes hit some places of their sword and daggers, which killed the momentum of their attacks and made it easier for Uno to deal with.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Whoosh!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Uno swayed left and right, dodging every attack that was coming his way. His feet were moving quite mysteriously, not stepping out of the circle that he had drowned yet still avoiding everything.
None of the attacks of his opponent were able to touch him, aside from the ones that he blocked with his left hand, which he was using as a weapon against them.
Aside from shifting between the Golden Sacred Qi and the Primal Demonic Powers, Uno had never used any advanced techniques against the two.
His foot technique may count as one. But given that he never left the circle since the very beginning, despite how intense the attacks coming from the two, such a technique was somewhat overlooked by his opponents.
In the meantime, Uno was gathering all the information about the aura of Origin that the opposing side was using.
He was more interested in this compared to the fight itself.
“It is somewhat artificial, which makes it impossible to evolve into ’True Origin, ’” he continued to mumble while gathering as much information as he could. “But I must admit that they have used an interesting method to ’catch’ that intangible energy.”
Bang! Bang!
A powerful pushed suddenly forced Feng and Andras.
They wanted to lunge forward and resume with their assault, but they suddenly realized that their bodies had become heavier. It was as if they were suddenly submerged in a thick and sticky swamp, which greatly restricted their movements.
“What!?”
“This!?”
The two were suddenly taken aback, thinking that they were seriously injured by the previous strike that came from Uno.
But when they looked at their bodies and observed it, they realised that that was not the case. They were still quite healthy and did not have any injuries in their bodies, which further confused the two of them.
It was at that moment that Uno took the initiative to ’explain’ it to them. “Do you think that you will be able to get away unscathed after trying to tap into that power? Or the person who hands you those drugs has not told you anything.”
“It seems like you two have become their lab rats without your knowledge,” he added before suddenly commenting. “Tsk! Tsk! Poor souls.”
The two were unable to properly comprehend his words, but they could at least get the gist of it.
However, they could not accept it. After all, they were still the young executioners whom the organisation had painstakingly raised.
Even if they were sometimes sent on suicide missions, such situations were meant to benefit the organization and take down stronger and more important targets.
Even if they wanted to use some people to be their guinea pigs for certain experiments, there was a specific group of agents meant to be used for such situations.
To use their hidden blades, the executioner units, as lab rats was something that they could never imagine.
While the two were still in the middle of their denial state, their bodies were already showing more signs of collapse. Cracks started appearing on the surface of their skin while their eyes became bloodshot.
“Time is up~!” said Uno when he saw this before turning his head to his side and saying. “It’s too bad that you have come a bit too late this time.”
