Chapter 904 Sin, Is A King (Part 1)
The man who was behind everything, Sin, was finally taking part in the mess that he had created. One of the most well-known Kings, not afraid to show his power, was now right in front of their eyes.
Was he overconfident that he always had the chance to win this fight? That was something Kai himself was trying to figure out.
There was one of two reasons why Sin might have acted the way he had. One of them was that he might have been frightened of the Howlers" strength. If he was a man that needed to be 100 percent sure to get the task done.
That was why he attacked their business, then attacked Gary, and continued in such a fas.h.i.+on not getting involved himself until the very end, making sure the job was done.
Or the second reason, he was extremely confident that no matter what, he could have always resolved this mess on his own, and he wouldn’t get involved unless necessary.
“I see I had been keeping an eye on the right place,” Sin claimed, looking at Kai. “When I saw you, I thought you were someone I needed to keep an eye on. I mean, who would have thought the Howlers had so many connections, but your group is half the group that I created.”
Innu was holding both of the axes in his hands, he had recovered but only slightly, it was the same situation with Kai. The only one that perhaps had quite a bit of strength to fight was Blake.
Unknown to them though, he was having troubles of his own when he looked at Sin.
‘The white lines in my vision, that would tell me where to attack, are not appearing now… has something happened, or is it just telling me, there’s no way to hit this guy properly.’ Blake thought.
Regardless, Blake’s fingers were twitching in front of this person. The Kings, it was practically one of the ultimate targets of the Altered Hunter. His father was at the pinnacle of the organization and now Blake was just a step behind him, but with this, everyone would recognize him officially in this situation.
‘Even if I can’t see the lines of attack, I’m still strong and have my own strength. I can catch him with the element of surprise.’
Blake was waiting, as Sin continued to walk towards them. From ten meters, coming closer a meter at a time, and then when he was just about five meters away. Blake tightened his grip around his sword and swung it through the air.
The movement of Qi powering his body allowed him to move as fast as if a person was Altered. The attack was going through the air but was invisible to the naked eye.
Yet right in front of them, strange flames appeared in front of Sin’s body. It flickered in a sharp line like a cut in the air and then disappeared.
Nothing happened to Sin, there wasn’t a scratch on his body. The attack never hit him.
Seeing this though, Blake didn’t give up and swung his sword through the air several times but just like the first, flickers of flames forming a line would appear around Sin. He didn’t move his hand or anything, yet not a single attack got through.
‘Is it some type of flame barrier that he has?’ Kai thought. ‘I know his Altered type, everyone does, based on the mythical beast, a Phoenix, but in terms of his powers, all we’ve seen is his overwhelming flames.’
‘This guy has been attracted to fire for a while perhaps when he turned into the type of Altered he is, which is why all of his members have fire-like traits as well. Reminds me of those d.a.m.n gym leaders,’ Kai thought… but it wasn’t a situation he could laugh at. If he got close, would the flame barrier act then as well?
Seeing his attacks no longer working, Blake stopped. He was only wasting energy, but as soon as he stopped, it was Innu that had acted. He gathered his Qi, activated the strength of one of the axes in his hand, and had hurled it.
He had actually hurled it a few moments before Blake had stopped attacking because he was trying to get a clean hit. The axe was seen flying and the barrier of flames had activated again.
The axe broke through the barrier, engulfed in flames that did nothing, but Sin had caught the axe straight on, he swayed his hand only slightly back. The axe hadn’t hurt him.
With his hand free, Innu started to attempt to use his powers to pull the axe out of Sin’s hands, a force could be felt, yet Sin held onto it like normal.
“What is this, you"re trying to pull it out! Now I see, you"re one of those freaks, aren"t you? With those special powers? Ha, just like that annoying Bree Family.” Sin placed the palm over his face, the corners of his mouth could be seen rising.
“And this axe is no normal axe, your group has had extremely good fortune, but you know what they say in this world right, there needs to be balance, after a string of good fortune, bad fortune has to come.”
Sin continued to hold the axe in his hand, and the edge of it started to turn bright red. Heat could be seen in the air producing above the axe, and the metal started to melt. The whole thing was melting and burning away.
Part of the metal fell onto the floor, while the rest of the axe had turned into nothing but ash. It was no more in Sin’s hand.
“All of you have no idea what you’re about to go up against, you should have just been good and died!” Sin said, stretching out both of his arms, and soon they turned into flames that were growing bigger and bigger.
