Devastated

Sou unsheathed the katana in his hands only to be dazed beyond his wits. Kolos was the same. Like a crystal, the translucent blade of the katana shone brilliantly in the dim-lit dungeon. Its gentle blue glow seemed to wash away any lingering thoughts and calmed the Sou. A strange surge of power filled Sou.

"Damn… Even though I pulled something randomly, this is way beyond my expectations."

It was true. Every weapon in the store is actually above S-grade, so it was justified that he got such a good weapon even in hurry. But the main concern was whether he could wield that weapon. I had never watched him use any weapon except a weak dagger at an inn or pub or whatever it was.

Sou stared at the katana for a while and held the katana by his waist.

"..." Kolos was still in a daze by the unknown weapon's grace. He had seen many beautiful things in just a day.

Drip.

A trickle of blood rolled down his nose and fell to the ground, and a satisfied grin, the one when someone orga… you know.

"Ufufu… Hehehehe…"

(Creepy.)

Creepy.

"How amazing! What an amazing thing you have shown me!" Kolos was over the cloud at the sudden appearance of an otherwordly weapon out of thin air.

(What the hell is this fuck spouting? Don't tell me…)

Sou figured it out. It was painfully obvious from the start, but Sou still had his doubts. But now it was confirmed.

'Everyone has a particular fetish'- a statement which was never proved wrong in Sou's previous world seemed to apply in Melim too. But there was a catch. The fetishes in Melim are... a bit extreme. Given how Kolos' face turned after seeing the dazzling katana, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he could probably jack off to anything beautiful. Well, that's another thing if Dragons jack off. They must do, right?

Anyway.

Sou was pretty disgusted by what happened, but recovered his stance soon, the katana by his waist; his hand right hand on the hilt, and his left hand holding the scabbard.

"Fuu…" He let out a deep breath, cleansing his insides. He firmly held the hilt of the katana without exerting excessive strength. Adrenaline began to flow inside him. He could feel his body become lighter than ever; he could perceive every piece of his body perfectly. A strange feeling seemed to veil his heart now, heating his burning spirit. And then...

Swoosh!

He disappeared and appeared right in front of Kolos who was still in the middle of his… pleasure.

Schwing!

At a lightning speed, he drew the blade and its scabbard disappeared and swung it. Kolos' head fell… or that's what it should have happened

Clang!

Just before the blade separated the head from Kolos' neck, the claws covered the neck and clanged with the blade.

(Fuck! I would have killed Drago if not for the claws!)

Having regained his motive, Sou again disappeared and appeared behind Kolos. Sou's speed was so heightened at the moment that it seemed synonymous with quick teleportation.

Clang!

The claws and the blade again clashed with each other, gnawing at each other.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two continued to clash their weapons and gnashed at the stalemate they were in.

"Tch!" Sou clicked his tongue and gained a considerable distance in the wide dungeon, while the latter also did the same.

Both of them stared at each other intently. What started as a deadly battle, now turned into a staring contest. They waited for the opponent to make his move.

Fwoosh!

… What was the meaning of waiting for each other if you were going to rush at each other at the same time? Hm? Did they finally admit that they were at the same level in terms of physical strength?

Sou's legs were shining with a blue hue and with every step, a sonic would occur.

Kolos' legs were shining with a dark orange hue and with every step, his speed would increase and the ground melted.

They still had a considerable distance to cover before they exchanged attacks, but this made them look all the more beautiful.

Sou's body was almost invisible and seemed like a trail of lightning at this point.

Kolos' body was too almost invisible and seemed like a fine line of raging flame.

"MWAHAHAHAHA!" Kolos laughed frantically at the arriving clash. Even I can't say I am not excited.

"Fuu fuu fuu…" Sou was struggling to not get excited, but…

… it seems like could not help but be excited.

His stats continued to go up crazily. But there was not a tinge of attention to the system on Sou's face. All he cared, for now, was the inevitable crash that was approaching.

Boom!

It was inevitable. Their speeds long transcended to a new realm of power. And with great speed, comes great energy (Einstein).

The dungeon was devastated. There was nothing left. All that remained were some crumbles of the dungeon walls and floor. Countless number monster and mana beast corpses sprawled throughout the not-anymore-dungeon, bloodied beyond belief.

But in the middle of such atrocities stood two figures, gnawing at each and gritting their teeth.

"Grr…"

"Hnngh!"

A blade and two claws entwined. A struggling expression veiled both of their faces.

… I should relearn the definition of strong.

Sou withdrew his blade from the meaningless struggle and infused Lightning in the katana, and attempted to slash off Kolos once again and Kolos acted to counter.

(Not again!)

Clang!

The hard claws once again blocked off the deadly attack.

"Fuck!" Even though Sou was above superhuman in terms of almost everything, his body was reaching its limit. It screamed that its limit was in sight, and Sou could not avoid that warning.

(I have to finish it quickly.)

This time, Sou infused Lightning into his blade and used Internal Mana Circulation using Lightning. The blade sparkled with cracks of lightning and his hand moved faster than what the eyes can follow, simply said, it was completely invisible to the naked eyes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

But that didn't make too much of a difference to their stalemate. Sou gritted his teeth hard.

(More!)

He used Internal Mana Circulation once again, this time with the newly acquired element- Wind. Sou's body was filled with a strong breeze and his blood vessels were carried by a gust. Fierce winds were swirling around the sparkling lightning around his blade, deviating the mana recessive mana around Sou's blade. The blade was now moving without any restrictions whatsoever, the sharpness sky-rocketed, the speed went over the roof.

"What?!"

Kolos was certainly taken aback by the sudden change in power, but that was not the spotlight for him. A being wielding two elements at the same time- this was not even achieved by the wisest race Dragons, but in front of him was human, much less, a kid, was wielding two elements. As if that was not enough to stop the hearts of perverts like Kolos (his heart didn't stop), the kid was wielding the elements at the same time.

(More!)

Once again, he used the same technique with Fire, activating Eyes of Destruction at the same time. Everything lit up in red flames. The corpses burned and melted in the destructive heat. The katana shone brilliantly in piping hot flames and the other elements also resonated with Fire and then…

Tring!
