Outcast Hunter

《Skill Activation: Dark Rainbow Flame》

Leo put out his right hand and directed the skill towards Blasphemy. The latter was caught in Leo's trap.

"I've never heard of a Death's successor that can copy skills!" Blasphemy used his arm to block off the attack. Thanks to his tough skin, he wasn't critically damaged by his own skill.

"Well, now you've seen one." Leo whom was quick in his foot, followed the skill he cast towards his enemy. And with a clenched tight fist on the way, Leo threw an overhead punch. His fist struck Blasphemy's face, causing the latter to be thrown away.

Blasphemy stopped himself from getting dragged by the force, immediately putting up his guard. Leo was nowhere to be seen. He looked up, behind, everywhere.. He threw quick glances, only to find Leo who made a fist.

"I hope you're enjoying our battle."

Leo lunged, his posture a little lower. The other gritted his teeth as he was flabbergasted. Blasphemy was planning on taking the fist head-on. And he's going to strike back.

"Hell yeah!" He pulled a right uppercut, aiming for Leo's lower jaw. While the other was planning on giving him a hard time to breath. Another overhead punch: a strike to the solar plexus.

Only then Blasphemy knew that someone was standing behind him.

'Ahh! He's good. I won't be able to block him and I won't be able to hit back too! Don't look back!'

The flow of time seemed slower than it had always been. For Blasphemy, everything was slowly moving. He could see the incoming fist of Leo in front of him. His fist too that was also moving so slow was about to connect when Leo disappeared from his sight. He sensed that the enemy was behind him. He couldn't stop himself from looking back. Blasphemy wanted to see the look in Leo's face. What kind of expression is he displaying? Is he happy? Grinning? Sad? Or what? That was what his thoughts were at the time.

Blasphemy hasn't fully shifted his head back to look at Leo when he felt the tremendous strength poured in that one punch. Ack! Blood spurts from his mouth. And he was once again flying away. It took a few meters away before he gallop to the ground, eventually stopping him.

Blasphemy stared into the vast blue sky. The weather would be nice if it weren't for him ruining the temperature in the air. Death's power really were something to behold. 'And he's not even complete at that' he can't stop himself from forming a grin in his face. He surged, wiped the dirt off his clothes and stared back to Leo who were staring intently at him.

"You're impressive! I should not hold myself back, right?"

<Skill Activation: Absence of all Colors>

{I used (<>) to indicate that the enemy had used their skill. I also used (《》) to show that Leo has used the skills he copied from his enemies.}

[Skill copying on the process...]

Skill: Absence of all Colors is ready to use.]

'Will the flame be white? There's only one way to know.'

Blashphemy released his skill just like what Leo had done when he cast the skill. It was quite different when Blasphemy was in his dragon form. The flame came out of his hand, not from his mouth.

"It's invisible?!" Since the flame does not have any hue in it, the flame was transparent. With Leo's keen senses, he was able to detect the invisible fire. It didn't emit any light making it hard for the naked eye to see. However, the temperature the skill was giving made it easier for Leo to dodge. He felt the flame and the need to evade.

"It's not done yet!"

The flame that made its way in a straight line, it took a turn and began following Leo's movements.

"Tch, a homing flames? You leave me no choice."

He patiently waited for the flame and for the right time to use his skill. "Here it is." Before he got hit by the flame, he released a clone of him for it to take the damage instead of him.

"You're smart too. But don't worry, I still got a lot under my sleeve."

<Skill Activation: Flame Mines, Absence of all Colors>

Two skills at the same time. Magic circles that would trigger if ever came in contact with someone alive.

《Skill Activation: Absence of all Colors, Flame Mines》

Countless numbers of flame traps was set everywhere in the area. Both could sense where the magic circles has been placed.

The invisible flames collided against each other making a huge explosion. It dug a hole on the ground, deep enough to put half of the dead bloodseekers' in it.

"Using skills will just take our time! You've been copying me and its a pain. Let our weapons settle this fight."

A sword materialized in his hand. Leo could say that the sword had gone through a lot but still, it looks beautiful. It would slice easily, it was well-polished and well-sharpened. You could the see the love and hardships poured in it. Whoever forged that sword must really love what he was doing.
