Chapter 120: Bar Fight [2]

Tension hung heavy as the air cracked with intensity. However, the noble patrons around them seemed entirely unaffected by the unfolding chaos.

It was almost as if such instances were regular occurrences in this bar.

Everyone remained seated in their plush booths, sipping their drinks, letting out puffs of smoke, and occasionally erupting into loud laughter—behaviour that hardly befitted their high social status.

Meanwhile, the confrontation between Jean and Lucas continued to escalate as Jean channelled mana into his legs.

His massive calves appeared ready to burst as the pristine wooden floor of the bar cracked beneath his feet.

In an instant, the hulking young man vanished from his position and reappeared right in front of Lucas.

With lightning speed, he shot his right arm forward, launching a blisteringly fast straight punch toward his, his fist moving in a blur.

Lucas deftly ducked, narrowly avoiding a punch that could have easily broken her nose.

From his low position, Lucas exploded into action, lunging forward and forcefully ramming his shoulder into his abdomen.

Though Jean staggered slightly, he remained largely unaffected.

Jean's hand began to glow in an orange hue, a consending amount of mana gathering at Jean's hand.

Lucas sees this and quickly tries to get some distance from him but it is late.

"Now Die," Jean said as he threw a first full of mana towards Lucas's face, he was going for a kill.

Lucas's survival instinct kicked in at the right moment. Lucas's sides step slightly and tip his head to the left side trying to dodge Jean's punch.

-Swoosh!

"Aggh!"

Lucas may save his head from Jean's punch but he can't save his shoulder which is exposed to Jean.

Lucas slid a few steps back from the impact of Jean's punch, and he could feel his shoulder bone-rattling against each other from impact.

If that punch held more power Lucas could have been fractured.

Not giving any more thoughts on his shoulder, Lucas springs into action.

Blue swirls began covering his legs.

He bent both of his legs in the air as he somersaulted.

Lucas's target was Jean's head.

Knowing intention of Lucas, Jean covered his face with both his hands.

But it was already too late...

-Thwack!

Lucas hit heads before Jean fully covered himself.

Jean skids across the ground, back to where his lackeys were.

He removed his hand from his head and found there was blood coming from his nose.

"Kill him," Jean said to his lackey, hearing the words of Jean, Four Lack Jean started to run toward Lucas but they could not reach out to him.

Why? Because Adrian, Sunny, Noah and Kael stand in their way with their weapons in their hands.

"How about first you passed through me?" Adrian said as raised his sword to one of lack that was heading toward Lucas.

"Don't worry Lucas bro! We will handle this while you can fight that guy." Sunny said as he pointed toward Jean.

"Just leave this small fry to us, Lucas.

Kael said to Lucas.

Noah silently nodded at Lucas as he faced the enemy in front of him.

"Thanks, guys," Lucas said and then he'll break out in the Night bar pub.

Adrian and others started a fight with Jean's lackeys, For Adrian who broke through to [D-] after goblin Dane's dungeon, for its child's play.

At the current moment, he was strongest at this pub. Not Jean or Even Lucas could beat him right now.

Jean who was watching all of this, grit his teeth and summoned a great axe in his hand.

He then shot a fierce glare in the direction of Lucas and declared, "You're dead!"

Only when the weapons were drawn did the patrons sitting all around them start to worry. They knew that blood was going to be spilt now.

–"Hey! Stop them!"

–"Someone calls the manager!"

Panic broke out but no one dared to step forward to break the fight. Besides, it was already too late.

No one stops when Jean summons his weapon, in fact after he summons his weapon, the fight goes to the next level.

"No, you're dead," Lucas said as he summons his Nightshadow bow. With S rank Artifact in his hand, Lucas was going for a direct kill.

No sane person would try to be someone in front of so many people, but is Lucas sane?

The answer is no, after he came to this world Lucas went through many disasters and incidents when he was at F+ rank, many would die but he survived.

Lucas always tried to be calm but when his anger reached its peak, Lucas lost control of the other side that he was trying to hide from everyone.

Mana spilt out from the tip of his finger and materialized into an azure arrow on the stretched bowstring.

In the next moment, Lucas loosened his grip on the bowstring and the mana arrow he had conjured shot forward, hurtling toward Jean at breakneck speed.

The power of the mana arrow is ten times stronger than the normal one because of the Nightshadow bow.

The current power of the Mana arrow is [C] ranked at its best.

Jean knows he can't dodge this attack so he tries to block it with his massive axe.

-Swoosh!

-Schreetch!

"Fuck." Jean curses as he flies back to the wall with a mana arrow embedded in his axe, He thinks that with his weapon he could at least save himself but he is wrong.

-Thud!

Jean hit the wall of the club bar and cracked on the wall like a spider net.

-Crack

Jean widened his eyes as a crack appeared on his axe and the next moment the axe broke and with a spark of White light dismissed on the air.

-Boom

A loud sound of boom could be heard in the entire pub, gaining the attention of everyone. Everyone stops what they are doing at the moment, Adrian who just defeated his opponent looks at Lucas with narrow eyes.
