Chapter 76: Fighting with the Generals

---

Author: Arya

The four generals, Sun, Moon, Luck and War, had been to wars with their commander thus their coordination was flawless and required no communication. They could understand it through their actions.

As soon as the commander grinned, he had utilized his powers. The commander, apart from being a great warrior, was also a tempter. He could use his powers to intensify the negative emotions of any human being. 

And this was what he had done.

Jason was sensitive to energies related to blood but even he could not act at that brief moment. This showed that the person in front of them was not a nobody. Each and every person in the room was a war veteran and their senses had been reforged after numerous battles. 

Kevin’s pupil lost focus as soon as the attack landed. 

The commander seemed satisfied and was just about to order everyone to calm down, after all his intention was only to pressurize the other party, but things hardly went according to him.

Just as he thought Kevin was bewitched, a roar rang in his mind. The roar seemed to have arrived from a long lost ancient time. Blood started to flow from his nose and ears, along with his eyes. 

-Thud-

With a thud, the commander sat back on his chair.

““Commander”” The generals shouted.

Panic was visible on their faces.

As soon as the roar rang, Kevin’s mind was cleared and his pupils returned to normal.

“Are you alright?” Jason asked.

James was holding his energy rifle and the shoulder mounted mini-cannon on Jason’s shoulder was locked on the commander.

A soft humming sound could be heard from the mini-cannon, ready to fire at any point of time.

Lina’s face turned pale as she moved to a corner. 

The power from the generals had suppressed her thoroughly.

Kevin nodded, as Jason’s gaze moved towards the commander.

His aura started to surge, the room started reeking of blood. Just as he was about to return the favor back, Kevin stopped him.

The generals had now arrived at the commanders side.

The commander stood up, even now his ears were ringing from that roar.

The General of War, took out his knife, his eyes radiating bloodthirst and murderous aura he walked towards the sins. 

“You shall pay for your actions–”

-BANG-

Before he could finish.

James dashed towards him with his fist and punched him right on the face.

The General of War flew backwards and collided with the walls. 

A human shaped mark could be seen on the walls.

The room turned into silence, which was soon broken.

“Aissh, what nonsense was that guy speaking? Pay? Who? We? Has he gone mad? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?” James muttered as he took a fighting stance.

Usually James would be all cultured and filled with etiquette but now he did not even bother with it, this showed how much he was enraged.

Kevin and Jason were stunned by this side of James.

““Hahahaha.”” Both of them started laughing.

The rest of the Generals were surprised by such a move. They did not expect the other party to be able to injure their general to this degree. Even if the move could be said as ‘taken by surprise’, they knew that in reality it wasn’t the case. The General of War was the second strongest among the Generals and his senses were really sharp.

The General of Sun and Moon, stood up simultaneously as they took fighting posture. 

The room was immediately divided into two different domains, cold and hot.

Both the Generals each wielded power of the Sun and Moon, the Yang and Yin.

Surprisingly, the area in front of the General of Sun was cold and the one in front of the General of Moon was hot.

Yin and Yang, they utilized this concept to boost their powers. 

Yin stimulated Yang and Yang stimulated Yin.

“Let me do it, Uncle James. I need some practice targets to hone my strength.” Kevin said, as he moved his neck and shoulders.

James, who was about to take the lead as usual, looked back and returned.

Kevin, gazed at the Generals in front of him and spoke.

“Let’s see.”

He held both his hands out, depicting a posture of holding a sword.

[Excalibur]

He spoke in a low voice.

-Swish-

A star shaped diagram filled with holy light was summoned beneath his feet. A beam of light ascended from the diagram.

The beam of light submerged Kevin’s hand and slowly faded away.

Now in Kevin’s hand, existed a sword.

Normally legends spoke of the Holy sword Excalibur to be made of legendary metal mithril and radiating with holiness, but the sword in Kevin’s hand was pitch black.

All everyone could observe was a patch of darkness shaped in a sword.

Everything happened within seconds.

Taking this time, the generals attacked. 

The General of Sun, vanished from the scene, meanwhile the General of Moon, started running towards Kevin.  

The distance between them was short and thus he reached immediately.

Kevin could feel a burst of hotness and coldness from his back and front simultaneously, even though he was wearing his suit.

He did not falter though.

He gripped his sword tightly and slashed backwards from his left, while at the same time moved a bit backwards enabling him to dodge the attack from the General of Moon.

The blade of Excalibur collided with the combat knife in the general’s hand and passed through it without any obstacle.

The General of Sun was surprised but his instincts honed through the wars kicked in as he ducked after abandoning his knife. 

By this time the General of Moon, who had missed his initial attack, gained a foothold and blasted an intense wave of coldness on Kevin’s face.

At the same time, the General of Sun raised his hand and blasted an intense heat wave, which moved in an upward manner. 

Kevin found himself in a difficult situation. The summoning of Excalibur had already drained him of all his energy. He could barely even perform the last move.

Now the intense heat and cold attacks made him suffer, summoning what little of his power that was left, he moved backwards and threw his shurikens trying to buy some time to catch his breath, but the war veterans would never give him such an opportunity.

As soon as Kevin moved backwards, the General of the Sun moved from the left and the General of the Moon moved from the right. This not only closed the distance but also enabled them to block the shurikens which arrived from the front.

These maneuvers were performed in such a close environment, restricting their movements. The experience of the Generals could be seen from the battle. If not for Kevin’s energy being on a higher level and the weapon’s quality, the Generals could easily toy with Kevin.

But after all Kevin could hardly gather and hone enough experience on the Island.

James was watching Kevin fight and his mouth twitched as he observed Kevin getting beaten up.

“This kid got a bit excited.” He said disappointed by Kevin’s performance.

Jason nodded as he took out his own combat knife.

-Boom-

With a low boom he kicked his feet and the booster on his back ignited into blue flames pushing him in the air. He somersaulted and arrived before Kevin, turned his back and gently pushed him.

Kevin was pushed out of the generals attack range.

Jason pumped his energy level and activated his bloodline enhancement, doubling his speed.

By the time he could feel the intense wave of heat and cold from his left and right. The blood in his left was turning cold and on his right was turning hot. But using his powers he nullified the effect to some degree.  

The General of Sun hacked with his hand trying to land a hit on his neck, similarly the General of Moon, punched, attacking his heart. The attacks were aimed at the vital points and filled with murderous aura. They even seemed to carry a hint of power of heat and cold respectively.

In Jason’s eyes though, after he had activated his powers, everything looked a bit slow. He could feel the hotness and the coldness creepin on him and the generals’ attack too approached him.

He immediately reached a decision.

He moved his combat knife on his right, slashing towards the fist nearing towards his heart and his left hand moved in a manner trying to slap away the attack from the left.

It seemed a normal movement to Jason, but he was in his enhanced form. His attack arrived too swiftly before the attack from the General of Sun and Moon. 

-Pssh-

A steam was generated in an instant from the rapid cooling and evaporation of the water vapors in the air.

-Drip-

-Drip-

After the steam cleared, the situation became visible to everyone.

The generals were standing in the position of Jason and Jason was before them, but they seemed to have lost all the fighting spirit.
