Chapter 25

---

The crowd stared at the patters in Dylan's arms. They assumed that it has something to do with his ability. Though confused and curious how Dylan managed to come out unharmed in that face to face brawl, they decided to let it go for now and just wait for an explanation from the many experts watching.

But unknown to the crowd, even the experts had no idea how Dylan did it. They only saw Enzo's attack going through him and while his own attack found its mark. They have never seen such an ability before.

"Could it be a new ability?"

An bald old man with white beard asked himself as he contemplates. It seemed to be similar to the ability [Intangibility] but is capable of damaging its opponent.

"Very interesting..." the bald old man thought.

"What's going on? How could he hit me?"

Enzo weakly stand up. His head is still buzzing from the punch and could only steadily stand. Panting, he looked at Dylan and in his disbilief saw that he is.uninjured!

Dylan simply stood in place while eyeing Enzo. There's no longer any arrogance in his eyes, instead it was replaced by apprehension and even fear. This is what he had been aiming for, hence he is been acting all mysterious. As for why he is unharmed despite the fact that he litterally punched spikes, it has something to do with his [Shadow Doppleganger] ability.

Yes, the [Shadow Doppleganger]! What Dylan did was merge with the [Shadow Doppleganger] and absorbing the ability's property of being intangible to physical damage while enabling him to cause damage to his opponent!

Dylan had been experimenting with his [Shadow Doppleganger] for a while now and the result greatly surprised. He thought he could only make a copy of himself but he was wrong, very wrong. The [Shadow Doppleganger] was far more overpowered than he initially thought. And what's even more terrifying is that it is evolving!

That's right. The [Shadow Doppleganger] is capable of evolution and is growing exponentially more powerful. Right now the said ability had already surpassed the power that a second ability awakening should have and is a match if not more powerful than a fourth awakened ability!

Of course the [Shadow Doppleganger] have its weakness too. The most glaring one is its inability to defend against energy and spiritual based attacks. But Dylan believed that it is just temporary. He could feel that the ability will be able to get rid of such weakness as it evolves. Something he is looking forward to.

"Time to end this..."

Everyone saw Dylan calmly walking towards his opponent. On the other hand, Enzo is slowly taking steps backward. It's already to anyone that is watching that Enzo had been cowed and subdued by Dylan's power. Yet Enzo still refuses to surrender.

"Why isn't he giving up?"

"Indeed. It's obvious that he's not the guys match."

"Maybe he is hoping for a miracle?"

The crowd are becoming seeing that Enzo had lost his will to fight yet still refusing to give up.

"Y-you! I'm from the Norgan Clan! If you dare to do anything to me, my clan would not let you off!" Enzo threatened seeing Dylan walking towards him.

Dylan raised an eyebrow because of Enzo's threat yet he did not stop instead he increased his pace of walking.

"Using his clan to threatened his opponent? Does he not want his face anymore?"

"Hah! Such a coward!"

"How disgusting!"

"So he is just your average and arrogant young master huh?"

The crowd started berating Enzo for his cowardly action. Using your family or clan to threatened an opponent you cannot defeat is one of the fastest way to lose face.

Before the match started, everyone believed that despite his arrogant and malicious personality, Enzo still have his pride and would not do something so pity. Yet the truth had come out and any respect the crowd has for him earlier banished like air.

Even Enzo's school and classmates started looking down at him. Even the teachers could only sigh and shake their heads in disappointment.

"Heh, so his just a coward in the end." Liz berated.

Hearing what her friend said, Dianne simply nod. Most of her attention was on Dylan. His power truly surprised her and she believed that even she would have difficult time facing him in battle. Her interest in Dylan had increased exponentially.

"This girl..."

Liz saw her friend and could only sigh. She could see Dianne's rising interest for Dylan. Though she believed that it is still not love, she is sure that if this keep up, her friend would fall for him. Honestly though, Liz did not mind this and believed that Dylan is a great guy. Unfortunately, Dianne's status was not as simple as it seemed...

Fatty Jing and his classmates are also cheering for Dylan while berating Enzo at the same time. This duel already have a clear winner and they are just waiting for Dylan to give the arrogant prick a pummeling. As for his threats? None of them are taking it seriously. That's because their are strict laws that protects a [Blessed] and his or her family. And no matter how powerful a clan the Norgan is, they cannot overlook the law or face strict sanctions or even extermination!

As such they merely saw the threats as a losers desperate attempt to scare his opponent and nothing more. Of course there are ways to enact vengeance if he wanted to but it can only be done inside the Sanctuary and not Earth. As the world government can easily track such action.

But is Dylan afraid of vengeance inside the Sactuary? Of course not! Therefore, Dylan simply ignore Enzo's warning and attacked!

"S-stop!"

Enzo was terrified after noticing that Dylan's not afraid of his threats. Terrified, Enzo quickly uses [Spike Skin] and steel like spikes appeared on his body.

Yet Dylan acted like he did not see the spikes and punched with all his power!

"Urgh!!!"

*crash! *

Enzo was again pummeled to the ground, yet this time he did not stand up, not because he didn't but couldn't. Despite Enzo's attempted to move yet his body would not listen to him.

*groan *

"What are you trying to do?!"

Enzo screamed when he noticed Dylan looking at him. He could see the mirth hidden in Dylan's cold and emotionless eyes. He try to threaten him but saw no change in his expression at all!

Dylan ignore the threats and...
