Thalion was interrupted by a lightning bolt shooting at him, and he had to dodge to the side but still got hit in the shoulder. If he had been eagly, it wouldn't have been a problem, but in his human form, he was thrown to the side, his body hurting all over. He just managed to position his sword between him and the next lightning bolt Sylas fired at him. The sword easily blocked the lightning bolt and even absorbed so of its strength. He had passed Sylas and with a look over his shoulder, could see how Kael jumped from one of the towers down to one of the lower levels.
So Thalion activated mistform and shot with incredible speed into the sky and over the ringwall, but he felt how sothing no soone was following with identical speed. He exited mistform after he had traveled over fifteen kiloters, and his mana was at ten percent.
"You can't escape," Sylas said, appearing in front of him. "You are just level 41. What can you even do against ? You are probably out of mana anyway while I am still half full." As if to prove it, Sylas shot a wind blade at him, which was cut apart by Thalion's sword, which was very effective against skills—or maybe anything.
Thalion didn’t have much ti, as Kael would surely be on his way, and with a ranger class, it wouldn’t take him long to arrive here. He shot a blood thorn at Sylas, who blocked it with a windshield that surrounded him. The shield cracked a bit, but Sylas quickly repaired it and shot a fireball at Thalion. Thalion, in turn, just used his movent skill to dodge the fireball and to find a way around that maniac, but Sylas was fast and kept pace.
Thalion was not sure if it was a good idea to turn into eagly since Sylas could turn into wind again and appear close enough for a lee attack, which he couldn’t tank or block as an eagly. He had no other choice but to fight Sylas for real. Maybe he could run after he injured the mage badly, but then he could also just kill the guy. Sylas threw spell after spell at him, probably hoping that he would be out of mana soon and easy to finish, but what he didn’t know was that Thalion's recovery was just insane. Pushed by the heart of sanguine archon, his title, and his natural increased recovery, he was already at 40 percent.
Maybe Sylas thought that he would be drained of mana this fast because he was standing on air, but he had covered his feet in blood, which was enough for him to hover a kiloter over the ground, and it didn’t cost any mana. Thalion unleashed another red manaslash at Sylas, who had to dodge by flying in the air, and his eyes narrowed after Thalion unleashed a second one while shooting much faster blood thorns at him, which almost managed to break the windshield that surrounded Sylas.
The fight continued, while no one was able to land a clear hit, but soon sweat started to run down Sylas's face while Thalion got stronger and stronger, pushing further by unleashing one red manaslash after another. Sylas was on the defensive, desperately trying to keep his shield up to not get hit by the blood thorns while dodging the now even faster manaslashes. Thalion had fully claid the montum, unleashing skill after skill. His mana was already back at 35 percent, recovering incredibly fast and even faster when he blocked a spell with his sword.
With ti, Sylas got more desperate, which led to a heavy injury after he tried to dodge a red manaslash by flying up. Thalion summoned a sturdy manabarrier above him, and Sylas smashed against it with his shield, which stopped him completely, but the manaslash didn’t stop, ripping through the shield and cutting both of Sylas's feet off directly under the kneecap.
Sylas roared in pain; Thalion saw his chance and tried to finish it with a fast blood thorn to the head, but Sylas turned to wind again and shot back in the direction of Kael's base. Thalion didn’t waste any ti, dropping the tokens and crystals he had taken from Maike, then he turned into eagly and shot in the direction of the ocean, activating feather glide and thunder shroud for more speed.
It was good that he had invested all the ti to craft his sword. Without it, he would have been in real trouble. But how could he lose a fight with a sword that blocked every skill with ease, even consuming so of the skill's mana and recovering his mana pool while completely overloading every skill he shot at the man with power? Today he had almost managed to kill an elite fighter who was almost twenty levels above himself not that bad for a level 41 human.
Maybe life wouldn’t be that hard next week; the powerful camps would move on to the next level, so why should he follow the hunters? Even when the beasts there were at a higher level than on this stage, he wouldn’t get much experience anyway. On the third stage, he was definitely one of the most powerful beings, and he had so many things to do: soul cultivation, building his armor, upgrading his skills, body tempering, and he had enough blood to fill up a small lake. Well, he would rather work on that without a war going on and a ranger hunting him. Yeah, he would definitely stay on the third stage, Thalion happily thought while gliding on the wind at the horizon, finally free. It felt like invisible chains which had bound him before were gone and he could live his dream to his heart's content.
