Max: Man...I need to work on my threats...like what the hell was that??
Lin was behind him, still unable to move. After all, he was a mere human, without any Blessing. Max on the other hand stood in front of him, defending his fallen comrade from the creepy Sarzar. Albert was still griping with his weakness, on the floor. But also, he had a revelation.
He realised that the handle of his sword was made of rubber coverings, a perfect insulator for lightning. So even if the blade was conductive, it still wouldn't reach his body. But that also meant he had to cut lightning itself, and it was something he couldn't do.
He also had a faint idea on how he dodged Sarzar's first attack earlier. He shouldn't have been able to sense the powerful lightning charge, but he still did. Sound was far slower than light. Yet he had dodged it. And ne knew why now.
With what little strength he had left, he picked himself up and stood. He had to help Max, even if it was small. Lin seemed like he was out of the fight, so it was upto him to support the guy dealing the punches.
Albert: Mmaaaaaxxx!!
Albert screamed on top of his voice, alerting and getting the long haired guy's attention. Max was confused, yet kept an eye on Sarzar.
Albert: Can you punch him, when he is lightning??
Max wondered if he could do it too. The moment he faced Sarzar, it was too late. Sarzar had already started moving in for his next attack. His palm was faced like a knife, and eventually it transformed into yellow coloured electric blade. A short pocket knife like attack made of heat and energy. Max immediately jumped back and activated his eyes with full power, so that he could keep up with Sarzar's speed. The knife blade was about to still cut him, so Max tested out his limits. He used his left hand to push away his lightning arm. And Max was surprised that his universe hand can actually touch electrical attacks, as Sarzar's hand was shoved to the side with immense force.
Max: Hehehe.....Albert!! I can attack him!!
Albert nodded. Max's left arm was indeed formidable. Sarzar was still going in for the attack. And Max tried using his eyes and avoiding all of it. Every attack, every movement, every stride. Everything calculated meticulously, Max moved as fast as light itself. Lin was in awe, seeing the dance of a lifetime.
Max: Is that all you got??
Sarzar was getting impatient as his face wrinkled with anger. His eyes were red with rage. He couldn't just touch his opponent and even if he did, the blue eyed dude just pushed it away, like it was nothing.
As Sarzar got ready to attack, a huge sword cut him from the back. Blood gushed out of him, as he screamed in pain. He turned back to see Albert standing with his blade facing him. He had somehow found the opportunity to sneak in and cut him. Sarzar was way too pissed off to notice his other enemies. And that cost him a lot.
Albert: I was right!! He does have a lit of limits...if he didn't he would've transformed his entire body into lightning..and wouldn't even need armour!!
Max nodded at the clever deduction and punched Sarzar in the face. Sarzar was starting to get terrified. There was no honor in their battle. He needed to to back. While in the air, due to the force of the punch, Sarzar ignited his feet in order to levitate. As be started flying, he expected himself to go away, but soon enough Max jumped on the Excalibur's flat side, as Albert propelled him into the air.
Max came rushing in and easily caught up to the Ameliorate.
Max: Hey, buddy....where you goin' ??
Sarzar, instantly terrified used his palms to charge an electric strike at him. Max blocked it with his left palm and rushed in towards him. He punched him with his right fist mid air, and used the flying Sarzar as a foothold and went above him. And from there Max raised his left palm into the air.
Max: STARMAN!!
A fist-sized yellow star appears from his palm and light increased around it. Max then thrusted it onto the villain's chest, knocking him down to the ground. Sarzar had lost count how many times he was pjt to the ground.
Sarzar: Hrkk..
As he fell to the floor, everyone cheered. Sarzar was overwhelmed with a mixture of anger and fear. He wanted to kill everyone who were present, yet he was afraid to deL with three of these monstrous beings, who came out of nowhere. To the town he was very fond of. The town that respected him. The town he took care of. And in a day, these unbelievable strangers took it away from him, making the sheep take their side. It was his county. It was his estate. This was his wife farm. And some outsider decided to select the rules, and it didn't sit right with him. He opened his eyes, and clenched his fist, to take back what was rightfully his. But as soon as he opened his eyes, all he saw above him, was a demon. A glowing blue eyed, smiling demon. Falling from above him, Max punched him in the face again with his left arm, destroying the concrete pavement under him.
Max jumped away from him and landed on his feet. The bystanders were shocked on what they were witnessing. Their captor, was beaten. Sarzar lay on the floor, bleeding, his eyes completely white, half dead.
Max grunted, on his knees. He clenched his left shoulder as pain flowed through him.
Max: Ouch...
Sigurd stood in his restaurant along with Milly, both shocked to the core. Lin had gotten up and stood next to Max.
M
Lin: Ouch?? You used one attack!!
Max: I don't know man,...with my recent injuries it's even harder to use those attacks...and I don't need it from someone who barely even assisted us.
Max looked at Lin, almost as if he was disgusted.
Lin: Give me a break...I'm not superhuman like you guys...I couldn't see him as fast as you both..
Max: Well...sucks to be weak, I guess.
Max immediately turned away from the furious Lin. Lin then removed his Kukri and moved towards the body.
Albert: What are you doing??
Lin: Well...let's behead him just to be safe.
Max: Woah..that's dark, but he totally deserves it!!
As Lin walked towards it, a huge bolt of blue lightning hit Lin from where Sarzar was. Lin screamed in intense pain as he fell down, almost burned to a crisp. Albert and Max immeidtaley went on guard and saw Sarzar getting back up. This time his entire body, including his face, was blue. The sounds of electricity cackling was intense as his body was unstable in maintaining a form. He opened his red eyes and shouted.
Sarzar: OH, IF YOU WANT IT THAT WAY, THEN I WILL PLAY ALONG. I DON'T CARE IF I USE UP ALL MY POWER AND PERISH. I WILL SHOW YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE- BENEATH ME!!!
And with that, Sarzar was about to go on a rampage!!
