Reincarnated With the Seduction System

Chapter 142: Adrian Vs Vincent Part 2

The clash between Adrian's Dragon's Fang Strike and Vincent's Skybreaker erupted with a cataclysmic force.

The shockwave from the collision shattered the ground beneath them, creating a web of cracks that radiated outwards.

The barrier around them trembled, distorting from the sheer impact of the two opposing forces.

Adrian's dagger, aglow with a radiant intensity, cut through Vincent's descending punch like a hot knife through butter.

For a moment, it seemed as if the lightning-infused fist would prevail. But then, the draconic energy within Adrian's strike surged, pushing Vincent back.

"Impossible…!" Vincent gasped, his feet skidding across the ground as he struggled to maintain his footing.

His fist, still crackling with residual lightning, was trembling from the reverberation of their clash. It was clear that despite his best efforts, Adrian had the upper hand.

Adrian didn't give Vincent any time to recover. In a fluid motion, he shifted his stance, his entire body exuding a deadly calm.

He channeled his mana, feeling it flow seamlessly through his limbs, enhancing his agility and strength.

"Shadow Vein Step," he whispered, and his figure seemed to flicker and fade like a ghost. In an instant, he appeared at Vincent's flank, the enchanted dagger sweeping out in a deadly arc.

Vincent's eyes widened in shock, but his instincts kicked in. He activated Flash Step, his form blurring as he narrowly dodged Adrian's dagger.

A thin line of blood appeared on his cheek—a reminder of how close the strike had been.

But Adrian wasn't done. He anticipated Vincent's movement, and before Vincent could even stabilize himself, Adrian vanished again, using Shadow Vein Step to reappear directly in front of him.

"Not fast enough," Adrian murmured, his voice low and dangerous. He thrust his dagger forward, aiming for Vincent's chest.

Vincent gritted his teeth, summoning all his strength as he raised his arms to block. "Storm Shield!" he roared, and a barrier of crackling lightning flared to life, enveloping him in a protective cocoon.

The dagger's tip met the Storm Shield with a sharp, hissing sound. Sparks flew, and a shower of mana exploded outward.

But Vincent's shield, though powerful, couldn't withstand Adrian's relentless assault. Cracks began to form along its surface as Adrian poured more mana into his strike.

With a growl of defiance, Vincent pushed back, using Overcharge to reinforce his shield. The shield shimmered brighter, and he pushed his hands forward, trying to shove Adrian back.

But Adrian held his ground. His eyes were calm, his expression unchanging as he leaned into the attack.

Then, with a sudden twist of his wrist, he changed the trajectory of his strike, the dagger slicing downwards with a precision that defied belief.

The Storm Shield shattered with a deafening crack, and Vincent stumbled backward, his chest heaving. His mana reserves were dwindling, and his body felt heavy from the strain of using his high-level skills in quick succession.

"How… are you so strong?" Vincent gasped, his voice laced with disbelief. "Even in my Overcharged state… I can barely keep up…"

Adrian didn't answer. He merely smiled—a small, enigmatic smile that sent a chill down Vincent's spine.

The enchanted dagger in his hand seemed to pulse with an eerie light, as if reacting to its wielder's emotions.

"Let's push things a bit further, shall we?" Adrian said softly. He took a deep breath, and then, in a single, fluid motion, he activated Dragon's Might.

A surge of draconic energy exploded outward, enveloping Adrian in a crimson aura. His muscles tensed, his senses sharpened, and his entire presence seemed to grow more oppressive, more overwhelming.

The ground beneath him cracked from the sheer pressure of his power.

Vincent took an involuntary step back, his heart pounding. The transformation was almost tangible—Adrian's mere presence radiated a primal power that made the air around them vibrate.

"You're not the only one who can enhance their body," Adrian murmured, his voice a low growl. He vanished again, this time using Void Step to close the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

Before Vincent could even blink, Adrian was upon him, his dagger slashing out in a series of rapid, precise strikes. Vincent's body moved on instinct, his fists raised to block and parry as best he could.

Each clash of dagger against fist sent shocks of pain through Vincent's arms. He could feel the enchanted edge of Adrian's dagger biting into his flesh, drawing blood with each strike.

It was like trying to fend off a storm of daggers—no matter how hard he tried, Adrian's movements were simply too fast, too unpredictable.

"Thunderous Strike!" Vincent roared, pouring all his remaining mana into a single, devastating punch. Lightning exploded from his fist, the force of the attack distorting the air around it as it shot toward Adrian's chest.

Adrian's eyes narrowed. He shifted his stance, the scales along his forearms glowing faintly as he activated Scaled Defense. He met Vincent's punch head-on, raising his arm to block.

The impact was monumental. A shockwave of mana erupted from the point of collision, and the ground beneath them buckled and cracked.

But Adrian didn't budge. His Scaled Defense absorbed the brunt of the attack, the draconic energy within him neutralizing the lightning's destructive power.

Vincent's eyes widened in disbelief. "No… way…"

Adrian's gaze was unyielding, his expression calm. He pushed back, his strength overwhelming Vincent's punch.

And then, in a blur of motion, Adrian stepped forward, his dagger arcing upward in a vicious strike.

Vincent's body reacted on instinct, twisting to avoid the worst of the blow. But Adrian's dagger still caught him, cutting a deep gash across his chest. Blood sprayed, and Vincent staggered back, pain searing through his body.

But even as he reeled from the attack, Adrian didn't let up. He pressed the offensive, his dagger dancing through the air in a series of fluid, deadly strikes. Each slash, each thrust was aimed with pinpoint precision, exploiting every opening in Vincent's defenses.

Vincent tried to fight back, his fists swinging in wide arcs as he unleashed everything he had left. But it was no use. Adrian was too fast, too skilled. His movements were like a whirlwind, his dagger cutting through the air with a speed that left Vincent struggling to keep up.

And then, with a final, decisive move, Adrian activated Dragon's Fang Strike once more. His dagger flared with a brilliant light, and he thrust it forward with all his might.

The dagger's tip pierced through Vincent's defenses, stopping just short of his throat. Vincent froze, his breath hitching as he stared down at the dagger mere inches from his neck.
