Awakened: SSS Ranked Soul king-Chapter 43: Untitled

Woosh

Woosh

Woosh

Both Guilliman and Vincent danced in the middle of the hall, both flowing like wind, both intending to take the other life.

"He’s so calm, is this how he usually fights?" Thane asked Victoria a look of confusion on his face. He had seen this kid fight before, he was brash, overbearing and down right explosive.

However, the way he fought today was very strange, it didn’t seem like him one bit

"No, it’s strange but understandable" Victoria didn’t know what to say, was this Guillimans background the same background he told her about? The son of a lowly dead Slayer?

That didn’t make sense, unless this Slayer was a muderer.

Yes, the way Guilliman was fighting now, the look on his face resembled that of a killer. Truth was, he had infact killed before.

In his old world, he had received a lot of training after joining his real father, he was thought that fighting against a beast and fighting against humans were two completely different things.

Most beast were simple minded, explosive and well timed strategies could kill most of them. However humans were extremely different.

The way they thought, the way they moved everything was different, and their most powerful ability? Deception. Without a calm mind fighting a human was a death wish.

But was it easy? Absolutely not. Human emotions like the ones prevalent in this dispute would naturally get in the way. To fight the way Guilliman and Vincent were fighting right now was to remove the conflict entirely and only focus on killing the other party in the most efficient way possible.

’Hm, he’s no push over’

Both Guilliman and Vincent thought the exact same thing as they forced each other back.

This was extremely strange as both of them didn’t have the background of killers. Guilliman could understand himself and where his calm came from but what did this young pampered master go through to make him like this?

"Nevermind, let’s just take this to the next level" Vincent shook his head then with a swipe of his hand, he caused a particularly long katana to appear from thin air.

The Katana released a deathly aura that consumed the place, its light shone purple and it’s blade gleamed with light.

Sacred Echo

This was the echo he had gotten from killing the sacred beast by himself, but it wasn’t just that. It was his staple of power. He would use it now to kill Guilliman.

"Hmm" Guilliman smirked, but didn’t summon anything only entering a strange fighting stance with his rabbit blade.

This caused Vincent to frown,

Was he mocking him?

’Who does this little asshole think he is? Won’t summon your own sacred Echo against me? Does he think he’s better than me??!’

Gritting his teeth, he lounged at Guilliman with all his might striking down at the young man with the full might of his blade.

A sacred echo was no joking matter, it had the ability to not just cut sacred beast but also augment its welder with power beyond that of any other echo below it.

Guilliman fighting with an ordinary sword against his echo was arrogant and a misplaced preconception of how dangerous this really was, he was going to get himself killed.

Of course he knew that.

So at no point in time did Guiliman even consider going toe to toe with Vincent’s blade, instead he turned into a blur as soon as he arrived blasting to the opposite side of the hall.

The wind from that movement shocked Vincent for a second as his mind kicked into overdrive causing him to look backwards.

As expected, Guilliman being able to give such distance in a split second meant he could do it again. Thanks to his fast reflexes he was able to catch a glimpse of his returning figure.

Vincent immediately slashed back at Guillimans figure with his blade nearly connecting at his neck.

But he was quick to act, dodging the slash and cutting at Vincent’s chest.

Soon a shallow gash appeared on his chest as Guilliman landed the first blow. It didn’t stop there though as in a split second Guiliman was on him again slashing at his chest.

’Shit!!’

Vincent cursed in his mind watching Guilliman move extremely fast through the stage slashing at him from very dangerous angles. The glow from his feet denoted an echo but it was but an ordinary one.

Several sashes, several wounds, it was like guilliman was trying to pass a message.

Having a powerful echo is one thing, but can you use that echo well? Mine is ordinary but look at the state you’re in!!

It was an infuriating display and who would be more pissed off about this situation than the blackberry family head himself?

He was watching the person who was supposed to take over the clan being dog walked by some random slum rat.

It was embarrassing!!

Of course, he couldn’t begin to imagine how Vincent felt.

’I’m going to kill this brat!!’

Gritting his teeth, Vincent said loudly…

"Class Ascept: Phantom Second"

All of a sudden a strange wind took the hall, as in a second Vincent seemed to disappear from sight causing the whole crowd to gasp in shock.

"Did he say class Ascept? So soon?" The Blacksteel lord frowned looking around for Vincent.

Once a fighter crosses into the Yellow stage, they would naturally get the opportunity to concretely choose a class. Most likely one of their family disposition, but on some special cases….like this kid here.

A Unique class could be called upon by the soul.

’Phantom second huh’

This class ability definitely had something to do with a unique class, Vincent was now invisible!!

’I might have to reconsider my placement of the blackberry family then’

The Blacksteel lord thought in his mind looking at the satisfaction on the blackberry family head, with this kid taking over from them? It signaled the rise of the family no Doubt.

"Hm he disappeared?" Guilliman unlike the others had alarms ringing in his head, he was not shocked or surprised by Vincent’s change not because he knew what was going on,

No, it was because he was in danger!!!
