Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Cotton Candy (207)

Time moved in slow motion as Ezekial's sword descended. Its light started to illuminate the cavern as it grew brighter and brighter, its raw power utterly destructive.

Soon, the entire cavern was engulfed in a blinding light. Nothing was visible, nothing could be seen.

But things could be heard.

A thunderous crash erupted from the middle of the bright light that reached the skies. A gargantuan cloud of dust shot outward as the light slowly dimmed, managing to conceal everything once more.

Ezekial, in the centre of the cloud of dust, let out a soft sigh. His body twitched, a side effect of the sudden disharmony he had caused, but that was it. The only consequence of him using such an incredible skill was a twitch of his body.

His eyes narrowed as he realised he had to find Castillian, and quickly.  The Plague Harbinger was not an easy enemy to capture, it took a lot out of Ezekial and he had to trick the beast, luring into the perfect environment.

So Ezekial knew that this would be a rough night.

Turning around, Ezekial crouched, getting to jump out of the cavern, when he suddenly heard a soft breath behind him.

It was incredibly faint, almost imperceptible, but he was sure that he had heard it.

Turning around, Ezekial looked around as the dust began to settle. He examined the area, which had been wrecked even more by him unleashing his attack.

But there was nothing there that could have let out a breath, no animals, no people...

No body.

Eyes widening, Ezekial lifted his sword up to protect his neck just as he felt something hit against it. He skidded backwards a few meters before steadying himself.

"Shit..."

Kai cursed as he deactivated his invisibility. There was no point keeping it active any longer. It was more of a one chance thing, as soon as Ezekial realised that he was invisible he would simply just nuke the whole area in Equilibrium or something, or he would maybe have a skill that countered something like that.

So sadly, the attack had failed, meaning Kai had to get back to engaging Ezekial in pure combat.

Ezekial stood still, blankly staring at Kai. The boy had blood trickling down his forehead, and his visible skin was caked in dust, but that was it.

Somehow, that was all he had suffered after enduring the full force of his most powerful attack.

Ezekial's eye twitched.

"You... how are you still alive?"

Kai grinned.

"You thought you could get rid of me so easily? Sorry Cotton Candy, but we're connected. It's fate, and ain't nobody escaping fat-"

"Enough!"

Kai stopped talking after Ezekial's sudden shout. He was a little disapointed, as he was about to explain how he would survived. It would buy him even more time to just have a conversation mid fight, so why wouldn't he?

To put it simply, the way he had survived was...

Chrome Skin.

To be more precise, it was because of one of the abilities of the Rare set of armour.

Because of the nature of the chrome that forms this armour, the wearer will be able to take 50% less damage from one attack. Cooldown is 24 hours from the moment the user selects which attack to endure.
