1891: Fuse Again!

Fuse Again!

Roan and Kentucky then distanced themselves from one another before Roan took his White Scythe out.2

"Wait! You can't use the Death Scythe skill! I'm not confident I can resist that thing at all," said Kentucky.

Roan nodded, replying, "I'm just testing the attack power. I wasn't going to use it to start with. Instead, I'll use Three Claws of the Dragon and have just one of the copies hit you at a point with no vital organs."

Naturally, Kentucky was happy to hear that. "Oh! Then that's fine!"

Soon after, Light and Dark Element gathered around Kentucky as his feathers began to change. Usually, Kentucky could transform his feather into feather blades, which already had very high defense properties, let alone the scales that hid under them. However, this time around, those same blade feathers temporarily merged with his dragon scales! All the scales on Kentucky's body now had several feather patterns above them. If not for those patterns, one might say that Kentucky only had scales and nothing else.

Though, that wasn't all. All the skills Kentucky's father taught him had Spatial Power mixed in them. Roan could feel how not only Kentucky's body was well protected, but those scales brimmed with the power of space. It was more like a spatial barrier generated by the scales and feathers themselves.

"This is called the Minokawa's Spatial Body!"

Of course, Roan didn't waste time and immediately attacked.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Soon, his White Scythe became three, all flying in Kentucky's direction. Kentucky, obviously, covered the front of his body with his wings and prepared for the hit. It's just that two of Roan's scythes suddenly made a curve and hit nothing. Those two were the fake ones. Only the real attack among the three clashed against Kentucky's scaled wings.

*Clang!*

However, nothing more than a metallic sound came out as Kentucky's body moved a few centimeters back. As for the region on Kentucky's wings that was hit, not even a scratch was left behind.

"That's some crazy defense," Roan had to admit.

Kentucky laughed back in response. "Hahaha! Of course! This is a real Minokawa bloodline skill! Just wait until I completely unlock my Royal Minokawa blood. It will become even stronger! From what my father told me, this was a skill made for the Royal Minokawa body."

Of course, Kentucky also understood something else. "Alright, I know that you didn't use anything extra on that attack either. Your hair wasn't white and dark. Not even Rean's Enhancement Skill was active, so let's try it again. Leave the Fused Dark Element and Spatial Power for last."

Roan didn't have to hear that twice before he repeated his actions. This time, other than not fusing Dark Element and Spatial Power, he put everything else there. Immediately, Roan's hair changed into a mix of black and white together with Rean's. He was obviously exchanging elements with Rean this time to increase his power. 

'Life Style, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, Shadow Steps!'

'Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

*Clang, clang, bang!*

It's just that Roan lied about only one of the scythes hitting Kentucky. Instead, he made the first two hit the same point, followed by the third one, which was the real White Scythe!

*Ouch!*

Kentucky's wing hurt from the impact, especially since they all hit the same point. His body was also forced tens of meters back. He just didn't fall because he moved his wings to help stop his momentum.

"Hey! You said you would hit me with just one blade! What if I hadn't put all my strength into defense?" Naturally, Kentucky complained after being hit by three.

However, Roan simply pointed at Kentucky's wing, exactly at the point the attacks landed. "Yet, a scratch was all I was able to leave behind. Not a single drop of blood at all."

Kentucky quickly looked at his wing and beamed in delight. "See?! My father's skill was great! If I had simply used my blade feather and scales, there would definitely be a huge cut now."

"Alright, I'll admit. That's impressive." That meant a lot coming from Roan. "Now focus. I'll fuse the Space and Elements into the next attack."

"Alright." Kentucky seemed extremely confident now.

Rean looked at that and had to acknowledge it seemed very good. 'Roan, can you really break through that thing? It's way more resistant than what Kentucky did to defend himself before.'

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment before saying, 'It's especially stronger now that he broke through to the Void Tempering Realm. Forget Three Claws of the Dragon. I'll use Death Scythe straight away.'

Rean was taken aback. 'Are you sure?'

'Don't worry,' Roan assured him. 'His defensive ability is definitely out of the charts. Perhaps just those 'true dragons' that we heard of would have defensive skills as good as his. He's perfect for testing the true might of the fused Dark and Space.'

Hearing that, Rean gave a suggestion. 'Well, although it won't be as good as me, you should be able to fuse a little of Light Element as well, right? Our Dark and Light Elements always complemented each other, so they should combine without issues even if the amount of Light Element fused is smaller.'

Roan agreed with Rean on that. 'I'll give it a shot.'

Roan's Spatial Powers, Dark, and Light Element gathered around his scythe. At the same time, Dark and Light Element fused with the Spatial Powers, albeit slightly. It was, as Rean mentioned. Roan could also fuse Light Element together with Dark Element even though the amount was smaller. Nevertheless, Roan could feel the increase of power behind his scythe. 

The explanation was long, but it happened in less than a second. After all, no enemy would wait for someone to go through a lengthy process before attacking. Following that, Roan shot in Kentucky's direction once more.

'Death Style, Death Scythe!'

Kentucky immediately defended himself the same way he did before. It's just that he felt a chill on his back while Roan approached. Unfortunately, it was already too late to try to dodge the attack.

*Swish!*

In the next moment, one of Kentucky's wings was sent flying. The Death Scythe cut through Kentucky's defenses with brute force, destroying the fused scales and feathers along the path.
