Chapter 69 69.Rage And Blood
'If you're going to fight someone stronger than you, the best way to win is to simply not fight. But if you must fight, you have to land the first blow, and whilst your opponent is disoriented and drop them onto the floor!'
Whilst Xander was still reeling from Lucius's full force blow to his unprotected nose, Lucius moved rapidly.
His stance dropped and tackled Xander but he didn't target his waist but instead wrapped his arms around the back of Xander's knees
When Lucius first hit Xander it was truly a sneak attack so the damage and pain done was immense, but after the first attack, Xander subconsciously used mana to strengthen his body, equalising their physical differences
But Xander didn't dare hold back and with the fear and adrenaline pumping through his system, Lucius was working at full capacity if not in overdrive, so Lucius tackled and flipped him, smashing Xander's back onto the floor.
After this, Lucius remembered the last line
'After your opponent is on the floor, you get on top and do not let them get up. Remember with the difference in abilities, as long as they get up, you will lose.'
With that Lucius didn't hesitate and jumped onto Xander and started wailing on him
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Lucius's fists mercilessly smashed into Xander's face with endless blows as his fist started to grow bloody and his eyes turning completely bloodshot red.
Even with this bloody sight, Lucius didn't stop, not just because he was furious but because he didn't dare!
Lucius didn't underestimate Xander's abilities and instead rated them very highly. With just one shock or attack from Xander it would be lights out.
Unless he wanted a gruesome end, he couldn't stop.
And Lucius's worries about Xander were not unfounded
Just as Lucius was pushed to his limits in this extreme situation, Xander was as well.
He had been disoriented and completely stunned by Lucius's unrelenting blows and attacks.
But even at that time, Xander had grit his teeth and gripping onto his consciousness instinctively raised his arms to block his head.
The block wasn't complete, in fact, the force contained behind Lucius's attacks had still managed to hit Xander.
The locking of his head only allowed him to gain but a moment of respite.
But a moment was all Xander needed
Who was he?
He was the storm caller! Lightning and thunder would appear at his side with just a thought.
The moment Xander managed to raise his arms to block, Lucius managed to see his eyes and had a full glance at the murder and rage contained within.
'Ahh shit…'
"Zap! Zap!"
Lucius Screamed as the electric shock ran all over his body.
it was as if all of the nerves inside him had been set on fire as his mind was blinded by an overwhelming sense of pain.
Lucius's body spasmed as he frothed at the mouth before just going completely limp. as the sick smell of burnt flesh could be smelled as Lucius fell onto the floor, seemingly completely unconscious.
Xander rose to his feet and covered his messed up and bloodied face.
He struggled to stand still as his head was still spinning from the aftermath of Lucius's attacks.
Placing his hand over his nose to stop the relentless bleeding, Xander cursed.
'Just you wait, you bastard! I'll make you wish you were dead!'
But just shortly after Xander got up he noticed something strange. He could see the other students looking at him with a look of pure horror.
'Huh? What's going on? Did my show of magic scare them that much?'
After having this thought, Lucius was a little prideful.
'I guess I should tone it down from now on.'
As Xander prepared to start boasting, he suddenly noticed something strange and an ominous feeling appeared in his heart
'No! Those eyes, they are not looking at me!'
Slowly turning around, Xander's heart skipped.
He saw a pair of eyes that had turned completely red, gazing at him with an endless amount of rage that seemed to want to burn the whole world.
This mad figure stood dauntingly with a chair in his hands
"Oh shit.."
That was the last thought Xander had before the full force of a chair smacked him across the face
"Bang!"
Xander's body was sent flying through the air as his body ragdolled, spinning in the air like the blades of a helicopter
"Boom!"
Xanders body crashed on the floor as his bloodied face rolled across the ground leaving a bloodied trail in its wake
Hisss!
The entire class of students that had been watching the battle with interest all collectively sucked in a cold breath of air.
How ruthless!
How Vicious!
Lucius right now didn't have time to care about the crowd's thoughts.
In this state, his mind was blurred and his body was on high alert, scanning for any dangers and enemies and as he looked around, he quickly found one.
A beautiful purple haired woman, in her hand, was a small glowing fireball that, if thrown, would deal considerable damage but her face only contained fear i.
It was Veronica.
But as Lucius's eyes locked onto her body, she froze.
When Lucius first attacked Xander she had prepared a fireball to help Xander but the two of them were so close that if she used a fireball, it would definitely hurt Xander as well, so she did not act, waiting for her chance to strike.
But when she got the chance to strike, she was so intimidated by Lucius's bloody and furious appearance that she hesitated for a second, and a second was all he needed
But in his current state, Lucius wasn't able to show pity just because she was a woman.
He currently couldn't think straight, but he instinctively knew that if he took that fireball with his currently damaged body, his life would be at risk.
