Wicked Reincarnation

Chapter 187: Attack 28

A little while prior, when Lia and Leo went to the academy, leaving Noel and Kil behind.

Seeing that Lia was safe, Noel was reassured and turned his attention back to Kil. The soldiers scattered around, not interfering with their fight. This was Noel's opportunity. Kil was hurt and still hasn't been able to heal. Noel needed to finish this quickly.

Not even waiting for Kil to open his mouth, Noel rushed forwards forming a power orb with his hand. There were no zombies to buff and Noel was sure there would never arise a chance where he could help Lia, so instead Noel focused on his copying abilities. He could copy and store up to 5 abilities before he had to erase one if he wanted to copy a new one.

Obviously, since Noel didn't have his own attack power, he copied Xavi's by taking a bit of his lifeforce.

Kil saw the power orb in Noel's hand and jumped back. The orb barely missed him but Noel didn't stop, he charged two new ones and threw them at Kil. While Kil was occupied, Noel summoned a sword and got behind Kil, cleanly stabbing it through his chest.

Then Noel twisted it before pulling it out and aiming for Kil's head. Despite Kil being hurt his reflexes were still exceptional, sensing what Noel intended, Kil let himself fall forwards to the ground, evading the sharp cut of the blade.

"That's unlike you," Kil thought Noel was more of a gentleman when it came to fighting and not pulling a sneak attack like this, "No manners?"

Kil pushed himself off the ground and blocked Noel's sword with his arm. The sharp edge cut right into his flesh.

"Bad luck, got no time to waste with you," Noel replied short and focused his attention on killing Kil. There was absolutely no time to let Kil recover and let go of a chance like this.

"If you're like this, bloody fight me with full power!" Kil roared and his fist hit the ground, creating a large hole.

Noel involuntarily twitched when he saw this. What a monster. Even while Kil was injured, he could exert so much force. But Kil's words threw Noel off guard.

"Full power?" wasn't Noel fighting to his best?

"Look around!" Kil opened his arms, "Corpses everywhere! Why not make use of them? You think you can go easy on me?"

Noel withdrew his sword. He understood. Kil still thought Noel was the one who had the ability to control the dead, "It's too good to waste it on you, don't you think?"

Noel's trademark smirk appeared which only infuriated Kil even more, "Don't go easy on me!!!!!!! A full-blown fight with no one holding back! Mate, I've been waiting so long to properly fight you!"

"What an honour," Noel stepped back as Kil swung another punch, however, Noel wasn't honoured at all. He wished Kil would just forget him.

What the hell did he want to fight to his heart's content for?

Noel had all slots full, he copied Xavi's power orb, Nana's healing power and Mika's summoning abilities but of course he couldn't use it to its full potential. It was only 1/10th of the actual power.

The other two slots were random exorcists' power, one was increase in speed and the other could produce fire rings. They weren't the best but still optimal.

After another punch, Kil wobbled on his feet but Noel was sincerely amazed how Kil still didn't die. Just how many ghosts did that guy consume to be able to live through so many fatal attacks? Noel could see faint movement coming from the other end of the plaza and knew that time was running out.

Soon there'd be back up for Kil to help him heal. Noel was sure that Maria wouldn't help Kil but if they brought ghosts then Kil could still replenish himself.

Noel threw the sword at Kil as a distraction and fired off a few fire rings that enveloped Kil's body from above and tightened around him.

"What the hell?" Kil stared in disbelief at Noel before breaking out into laughter, "Your ability's good. Nice. I like it!"

However, no matter how Kil tried, he wasn't able to free himself. Noel breathed in relief, he was glad Kil couldn't break through them because if he really did in his state, then that was absurdly unfair.

Now that Kil was captured, Noel quickly thrust his sword forward hoping to sever Kil's head.

But it wasn't that easy.

"Captain," just as Noel's tip almost scraped Kil's skin, one of the soldiers couldn'd watch anymore and ran forward to parry Noel's sword.

The clashing of the sword gave off a vibrant KLING and the soldier was flung away as Noel exerted more force on his attack, managing to throw the soldier to the side.

To make sure the soldier and no one else could interfere, Noel released more fire rings that danced above the ground encircling Noel and Kil from everyone else. If anyone wanted to get in, they had to make it past the dancing blazing rings. Likewise, Kil nor Noel could get out.

But Kil was still occupied with the fire rings holding his body captive, vibrantly burning through his skin. This time Noel wouldn't fail. Just as the fire rings were slowly burning out again, Noel's sword pierced through Kil's throat. Noel decided against severing Kil's head.

Kil's glassy eyes stared at Noel before letting out a 'heh' and Kil collapsed onto the ground.

"Captain!" Several cries from the soldiers made Noel aware that he completely missed the oncoming ghosts.

Noel instantly charged several power orbs and let them fly towards the ghosts but Noel couldn't properly control them, especially not in these quantities. The power orbs spiralled on their own, some ran through the ghosts purging them, some diverted from the course and hit the surroundings.

But his orbs weren't enough, a few ghosts slipped through. Noel was ready to use the sword to slide through them when Kil's shaking hand got ahold of them and absorbed them into his body

This was bad. Noel couldn't let Kil allow to recover. So, while Kil still laid on the ground taking in the ghosts, Noel jumped before Kil, his sword came crashing down on Kil. But it was too late.

Kil's bloody throat moved as he let out a low laugh and with his sole grip shattered Noel's sword into broken pieces. Noel quickly jumped backwards and summoned another sword.

Kil was amazed, no he was intrigued by Noel. Disregarding the fact that Kil was injured, Noel still was able to almost kill Kill. If it was only a second more, Kil would've really gone into the white light that surrounded him before his body unconsciously moved on his own and grabbed the ghosts.

Kil felt the power surging back in his body and his wounds slowly closing up. Now that he had renewed vigour, Kil was incredibly pumped to fight against Noel at full force.

"Let's do it now with us both ready," Kil grinned and his sturdy face showed creases. He brushed his hair roughly out of his face and touched his gaping wound on his throat that now got increasingly hard.

"I prefer if you just stay dead," Noel saw how energetic Kil was and cursed silently. But the upside was that Kil still hasn't properly recovered. He was only able to absorb a few ghosts, it was only enough to heal the wounds but not regain half of his strength.

At this rate, Noel would be able to stop Kil and kill him once and for all, this time. Kil, however, was in too much bliss to notice that Noel already set several traps for him. Kil saw the soldiers running towards him and shouted, "Stay back! Let me bathe in this ecstasy!"

But these were Kil's words as he was finally buried under Noel's traps and Noel's sword severed his head. Yet Kil managed to hit Noel with one last punch making Noel fly back in an arc.

Kil's head rolled off but his body stood sturdy with his arms stretched out showing his last and final attack. It was equivalent to a statue in all its glory, admired by many. This was how people would remember Kil.

As Kil felt his head fall off, he wanted to laugh but it evaporated into air as his throat wasn't connected to his head anymore. Kil, however, wasn't fazed by his sudden death.

He was only sad that he couldn't enjoy fighting with Noel. No, his whole life long he was denied to truly enjoy what he wanted the most.

Truth be told Kil didn't care about Min's goal but he knew that as long as Kil would work under Min, he could enjoy power and fights.

This was the only way for Kil to express himself and have fun. In his suffocating household, Kil was denied to do what he wanted yet spoiled to act arrogant as the son of an Elder.

His father always had an inferiority complex but Kil didn't care for it. Once he was able to join the academy, his true life began and thanks to Eri his arrogant and haughty nature subsided.

But now it all came to an end. Everything.

Kil still wanted to experience, the climactic fight he desired

It was all over.
