The Ancient Genes

Chapter 60 - The Final Fight (3)

"Clang!"

Max blocked the man's attack as he hacked his sword at mhim.

That man had a smile on his face as he stared right into Max's eyes.

Max slowly pushed his body up using his feet to stand up and pushed the sword away before kicking the man.

"Bang!"

The man slid a few inches away from his spot and feeling the pain he stared at Max with wide eyes.

"I really underestimated you. I can't believe you powered up so much within such a short period of time. It looks like you are carrying some good stuff on you." The man said with a greedy smile.

He must have thought his increase of power to be related to some kind of high-grade artifact. But Max couldn't care less about his misunderstanding. Time was running out.

So, Max moved and made a dash trying to close the distance between us.

Seeing him move, that guy smiled as he spoke, "Blaze"

"Flare!"

His sword abruptly burst into flames and as Max was only a few inches away from him and he swung his sword horizontally.

At first, Max couldn't understand his action, but as a crescent shape slash of fire detached itself from the sword, He couldn't help but curse.

'Damn it!'

Max immediately bent my knees and ducked. Even though he managed to avoid a direct hit. He could still feel the burn on the right side of my face.

"Boom!"

The slash of fire collided with the car behind Max before completely engulfing it into flames.

On the other side, the girls had already closed their eyes after watching the terrifying scene. How many people were killed a moment before? Not to mention how brutal and bloody the method used to kill was.

Only Lisa was in better condition. She was watching the whole scene with wide eyes. She had a hard time believing how the situation changed so quickly.

…..

"Don't duck. Let me give you a nice tattoo." Derek said after seeing Max dodge his attack.

This bastard really knew how to use his mouth.

Max was only lacking a bit. If he could have a bit more strength. He could've immediately taken him down.

From their confrontation, Max could tell that their power level was about the same.

But, it only meant that it would result in a drawn-out fight. And time was the last thing Max had with him.

As Max was busy with his thoughts, that guy made his move. He rapidly closed in while swinging his sword as he used his dagger to block his attack.

Damn!

The heat from his sword was really making it difficult for him.

'System, give me some advice here.'

Max asked the system as he continuously blocked his strike while retreating.

« Reporting to Host, Host has gained enough FP for another level up. Advising the Host to level up »

'Do it.'

'I can't let this continue. '

« Host has gained a level »

« Congratulations to Host for reaching the 1st layer of Ancient Manual »

« Unlocking…. »

« Gene Ability…»

…

…

Max really didn't have time to go through the several messages appearing in front of him. So, he just shut the notification tab planning to concentrate on the fight.

"Clang!"

Their weapons clashed again.

Hm..

But this time, Max didn't feel the heat to be unbearable. It was still within his limit. And he even felt the man's strike to be lighter than before.

As the man hacked his sword at Max again, He too used his full strength to push back.

"Clang!"

The noise this time was even louder and the man's eyes widened and his smile disappeared as he was pushed back by two steps.

"Y..You..", the man stuttered as if he had seen a ghost.

It wasn't difficult to understand his feelings. His opponent was getting stronger. What kind of black magic was this?
