Chapter 198 – Round Two
"Round Two."
As his words echoed across the battlefield, the two disappeared from their spots and shot straight toward each other.
Emrys was faster than Cassius, reaching him before Cassius even had time to halt his explosive speed.
His sword crackled with lightning as he slashed downward, burning the air in the process, going straight for a lethal strike.
Two crimson portals appeared to Emrys's right, spitting out crimson chains that wrapped around and immobilised his right hand just before the strike could land.
Emrys's eyes narrowed, then snapped wide open as Cassius landed a flaming punch square on his chest. Not once, but four times in quick succession, each one stronger than the last thanks to the compounding effect of the explosions.
Emrys's chest cracked and caved inward, and a mouthful of blood spluttered from his lips.
At the last punch, Cassius used his Third Skill and placed a Weakening Mark and a Tracking Mark on Emrys's body.
