Chapter 28 - I guess blood's a thing now

Corin leaped to his feet, he head out his hand to his chest and started healing himself

[System message]

[passive skill: self-healing]

[self-healing 40% completed]

[be informed major cuts will be healed gradually]

" it doesn't matter it's all over now, you did well, friend, your weaponry could only take you so far, you lasted to rounds been won the first, both that blood scyte sealed your fate, now farewell i shall see you after this ma–"

His voice sealed the space around him sharpened his dropped his weapon from the shock struggling as space itself tried to choke him to death.

A loud gasp came from all around the balcony as the guest where shock at the drastic situation occurring, as Josen rose to his feet, he spat out blood, his expression unreadable blood dripped from Corin as Josen waved his hand sending Corin rolling on the ground, Josen used his healing and started closing his wound slightly.

I guess fighting really improves all your affinities huh

"How are your using magic, you don't have a system you shouldn't be able to"

"Your right",Josen charged sending a punch at Corin sending him flying, he stumbled back grazing across the floor he held out his hand, and his weapon flew back to him he summoned five shadow they rushed in four ways preparing to rush at Josen, Josen teleported Infront of them holding his crossed finger out his spoke

"scatter"

The shadow's desiccated they bodies tiering for the pressure like both space and wind where ripping them apart, Josen paused, he tried something forcing space ito a precise point he put it beneath his feet and started to levitate he pushed space and started floating he released poison into he air before shaping it with space he form a scyte for himself

"Well, that was easy", he smirked

"Thank you Corin, I've had a feel for it for a while now"

"Space? and is that poisoned mist?", Corin launched a punch

"What kind of power is that?", he launched a head kick

He voiced choked, "don't tell me you did see your soul to a fallen constellation?"

Josen was perplexed "fallen constellation? what are you-?"

It was a distraction by Corin, he teleported to the other end his wounds and injuries slowly fading off his body.

[all cuts and wounds have finally healed]

[healing proficiency increased by 42%]

He wiped his face, the last of blood finally gone from his mouth, his lips quiver as they turned fuller again.

His healing factor is impressive but also a nuisance,i'll need to end this quick, our teleportation speed is on par, but i haven't tested out his speed yet

Josen step in blitzing around Corin, who stood still, he bent his legs slightly before blitzing past Josen again both moving so fast it appeared like afterimages from them but Corin was significantly faster, Josen blimped behind him, but Corin raced behind him again.

[skill: shadow bombs]

he threw misty grenade shaped bombs at Josen which exploded turning into creatures who clawed at him sending him flying Josen head his finger out as he bended the poison to his will and reshaped it forming a bullet imbued with poisoned fire it pierced through the three shadows before exploding Infront of Corin who charged Josen with his sword as they smashed together, shadows attached to Josen swords as the orb absorbed it sending it back at Corin.

Not only does he use magic, but his weapon can redirect attacks, he's going to be a real problem soon

They exchanged sword strikes Josen twisted his blade sending a downward slash as Corin deflected with his sheath, sending a side hit with Josen block with the side of his Dalina he launched a fire slash that Corin leaned back tilting his back and dodging the attack, Corin appeared behind Josen who blimbed away his speed distance had reduced he only moved seven feet back Corin slashed a blood axe at him tearing a piece of fabric down his chest barely missing his forehead

Josen groaned in frustration, annoyance bubbling as his teleportation's range was dwindling, his thoughts became mumbled and jumbled

ok what ways can i can extend my range

Corin appeared like flashes around him, josen's eyes could track him fine but his speed could catch up to him, he needed something to boost his range and fast, something lethal and can help him then it clicked in his head

Spatial plus poison? that could work if i release poisoned mist in short burst and add spatial warps to them i could make poison gateways while also reducing his options for movement

Josen flew around releasing mist and spatial warps and blimping for gateway to gateway, Corin charged at him Josen blimped through another gateway, cause Corin to inhale the toxic fumes, josen landed a spinning downward axe kick sending Corin crashing to the floor Corin send a blood bullet straight back at josen who absorbed it with Dalina saving it into an orb, he sent black a massive blood arc down to Corin who send one back as blood exploded around them splattering them some landed on the force filed and were field back at the them Josen and Corin blitzed across the room with their speed dodging each projectiles of various sizes.

This isn't good I can used the gateways because I'm not sure where the blood could hit so it's better to just use my speed

Josen skipped back dodging the blood to the foot, as he flipped through the end kicking his dagger straight at Corin slicing his cheek spreading poison throughout Corin face as his muscles and nerves paralysed, they twitched and rattled as he charge forward.

"[system skill: healing]"

He staggered as he ran the healing barely useful as his veins twitched and burns and his body began to slow down; a golden blade came be lining for his neck.

"[shadow cloud]"

He evaporated around the blade his body losing shape as he teleported away regaining form

"[blood rain]"

Drops of blood rushed at Josen as he deflected them with his golden blade, he slashes back at them deflecting them away, he spat out miasma at Corin then sending seven poisons crafted bullets Corin slashed and parried almost dodging all as one dug into his thigh

"[shadow bloom]"

Josen was surrounded by three clones, as Corin slipped backward reusing healing to close his wound, Josen dodged a head kick slash as the shadow dissolved, he parried a kick to the back, he used scatter casing the two shadows to dissolve and split he raced forward with sunrise in his right arm and rot spine in his left he slash the air creating a massive poisoned arc he rushed at Corin his eyes where wide open his plain black pupils where bulging for some form of thrill his arms where wide open and a giant blood hammer loomed over Josen, he stared at it for a second before looking back at corin and mouthing

"sorry?"

Corin nodded no with a smile causing josen to say in a dead monotone voice

"Oh shit"
