Humanity Return

Ch. 88 – Prince of Lightning

“You are really unattractive..”

Leinn said that in a disappointed tone, but he also could not hide the smile on his face.

He had expected the young man in front of him to show a surprised face or to be wary when he felt the pressure he exuded, instead of smiling happily like that.

The silhouette behind Leinn who had already finished forming also showed a strange atmosphere.

When he heard Leinn's call, he thought he would fight with the blond young man in front of him. It turned out that the young man instead showed a clear sense of pleasure when he saw it.

The pressure he released instantly dissipated and he began to float beside Leinn while pointing at Roland in front of him.

“Ehem, he is indeed such a person. You should have known him”

The purple silhouette seemed to show a feeling of confusion for a while, then he looked conscious. His body began to tremble and his right hand was seen covering the invisible mouth in the silhouette of his face, looking to laugh without making the slightest sound.

Spectators throughout the stadium were perplexed when they saw the two young men stop fighting and just stand up while talking.

Some people with high abilities had already become wary when they felt a thick murderous intent come out from that purple silhouette and were shocked when all of it disappeared in an instant as well.

In one of the ordinary seats, two people shrouded in magic who hid their identities were seen sitting still while looking at that purple silhouette.

Behind the illusion magic was a smoldering red-haired man and a dark green-haired man.

“Hahaha... It doesn't look nice”

The dark green-haired man laughed with a wide smile, but the tone of his speech and frown of his forehead showed he did not like what he was looking at.

“...Ya”

The short answer came out from the red-haired man smoldering beside him. His stern expression and flat tone did not show what he was thinking at the moment.

The two of them did not recognize the silhouette, but they recognized the Purple Mana spreading from the young man's body and they disliked it.

...

The two young men had already stood up for ten minutes without continuing their fight, making the audience around them become restless.

The people near the giant magic circle showed different feelings from them.

They could breathe quietly for these ten minutes and were able to gather back their drained energy. Some people even start to wake up and set themselves up as the next reserve team.

The two youths above the arena were not affected by those people, they only had this arena for the two of them alone.

The blond young man, Roland was seen smiling as he swung his sword up and down while depicting a scene.

The black-haired youth in front of him, Leinn showed an opposite expression. Both of his brows were already close to touching, forming a clear annoyed expression on his face.

“-so he ran away leaving us and got caught after that. He got a much heavier punishment for running away!”

Roland looked excitedly telling that to the silhouette that was hovering beside him, until several flashes of lightning could be seen leaping out of his body.

The purple silhouette laughed without making a sound for long enough, looking to enjoy the story.

Leinn also only smiled as Roland began to tell her their old story, but the smile did not last long.

He told me about the bad experience he had!

One he can still hold. But Roland went straight to the second story, then the third...

The smile had already disappeared entirely from the face of this black-haired young man, replaced by an annoyed expression.

“Hahaha... Oh yeah, it reminds me of the next one. He didn't receive heavy punishment himself, so he-“

“You are still not satisfied?! Let's continue this fight!”

The first to react was a purple silhouette that started to float beside Leinn while waving his hands at the blond young man.

And the previous calm atmosphere instantly disappeared.

“Hmph...!”

Roland felt a strong pressure again afflicting his entire body, but this time there was not the slightest murderous intent emitted by that purple silhouette.

It seemed that he was no longer considered an enemy by her.

“Be prepared!”

Stab!

Leinn instantly became wary when he saw Roland thrust his sword on the ground and grabbed the ring at his waist.

With eight rings in his hand, he swung both of his hands wide. The six rings began to emit lightning bolts while hovering in the air and began to turn into six long swords enveloped in lightning.

Leinn's gaze was fixed on the sky for a moment, then he smiled and directly faced forward again while pulling out his sword.

CLANGS!

Roland's two swords hit the sword and the scabbard on both Leinn's hands.

His special eyes could see the young man in front of him pulling eight rings, but only throwing six into the air.

So he pretended to be distracted for a moment and immediately welcomed Roland's attack.

Crackles!

It turned out that the lightning from the two swords that were filled to the brim with Mana lightning still managed to injure his wary self. So Leinn began to expend more energy and jumped back to keep his distance.

Stab

The sound of a sword piercing the ground rang out simultaneously in the surroundings. The previous five swords coupled with that newly landed one, there were now eleven swords stuck around the arena. An uneasy feeling started to creep up on Leinn's body as she watched the swords begin to emit strange symbol-shaped lightning on her sword body.

The two swords in Roland's hands also started to show various symbols on his sword body.

“I-it?!”

Among the people who showed shocked expressions at the stadium, someone showed a sense of surprise for another reason. He recognized the technique that Roland was preparing.

That person was the girl who had already stood up from her seat while staring at the lightning that had started to spread in that arena, Adeline.

“A-what do you mean?”

The aura who was standing beside him showed a puzzled expression while looking at the girl in front of him.

“That's... the technique he used against Ayah”.

“Means..”.

The new information started to spin around in Aura's head and he finally realized the technique he meant.

Roland's reason for getting the nickname Lightning Prince.

“Hahaha..”.

Little lightning continued to flow on the shattered floor below, giving off a feeling like it was being bitten by an ant appearing when its feet stood on it.

The lightning from the six swords continued to flow and when it reached the other five swords, all of them were lit up with lightning symbols on the body of the sword.

This technique looked much more ordinary compared to the technique Roland had shown before, but Leinn already knew the identity of the lightning that had formed a bright spider web under his feet.

“This doesn't look good for me..?”

While saying that, Leinn began to prepare himself to run out of that area of lightning. But he suddenly stopped and readied himself after looking towards Roland.

The symbols on both his swords grew brighter and lightning began to envelop his entire body and in less than a second, he was already enveloped in layers of lightning from head to foot.

[Thunder Incarnated, Lightning Flash]

Crackles

A small lightning sound rang out and the blond youth's body turned into a single line of lightning.

“Hidung monkey!”

The thrashing came out along with his body that was spinning with all its might along with the swing of the sword in his right hand, making Leinn slash towards his back.

Clangs!

Crackle...!

Two swords clashed and everyone in the stadium could see Roland appearing behind Leinn all of a sudden.

This is no ordinary speed.

“Basic monsters! You have perfected it!”
