My Ultimate Life-Stealing System Made Me Invincible

They both jumped backwards as they ran to their left, looking at each other's feet, noticing how the one would move next.

Silas's eyes twitched slightly, fixated on Carter's legs. Carter didn't wait anymore as he shot forward towards him, the aura blade was looking magnificent in his grasp.

Both of them collided once again, but this time only Silas got pushed back and got hit into the wall.

Saliva shot out through Silas's mouth and fell onto the ground as a loud thud filled the chamber when he made contact with the floor.

His teeth gritted, his back started to ache as his body asked him to finally give up and rest.

One of his eyes shut close as his hands did the work and pushed him back onto his two feet. He grabbed his sword back up in his grip, grip tightening around the hilt of it.

Eyes were now locked again onto Carter, who was standing straight up ahead with a wicked grin on his face, some bruises were visible on his cheeks, and the stance was a bit sloppy, too.

'He's losing his composure and the stamina too, I'm the same as him...'

[Host, he exceeds your power level. With your current stats, you'll not be able to win against Carter.]

His eyes frowned slightly, teeth bit his lower lip. 'I know that much, system.'

[Host, don't lose your focus during the fight, lock in.]

A small sigh escaped Silas's mouth as he closed both of his eyes, sensing the surroundings clearly.

He started to feel the surroundings, even the faint image of Carter was visible in his mindscape, the figure was standing in front of him while holding the sword.

'I can feel it, the air which is brushing against my skin, the faint echo of Carter's ragged breaths, I can even see Carter with my eyes closed.'

[Skill Attained: The Art of the Six Senses (S+)]

His eyes widened slightly, his grip on the hilt loosened for a brief second and his lips parted slightly. 'My first S-tier skill, let's go...'

---

[Host, you have mastered the skill of Chiron, and that's why you're able to use your senses to their full potential.]

[And the objects which you are seeing even with eyes closed are the heat waves which are getting produced through one's body.]

Carter's voice came low, but the tone was filled with mockery. "What happened, Mr. Veil? Scared of getting defeated by me? Are you going to chicken up and stand there for the rest of the day?"

A small chuckle escaped through his mouth as he lifted his left hand and kept it on his lips as he muttered. "Pardon my rudeness, Mr. Veil."

Silas didn't reply to Carter's mockery, his eyes were full of resolve as they were still closed.

A smile curled up on Silas's lips as he dashed forward, sensing the surroundings as he felt Carter move towards his left.

Carter slid to his left, raised his sword slightly as his grip tightened on the hilt. The aura on his blade increased slightly as a strike escaped through his blade. [Aura Vertical Slash].

He then stood in one place as he raised his sword and tilted his wrist slightly as he swung his sword with all his might vertically.

A crimson red slash was left, and it was directed towards Silas, the intent to kill was buried inside of that strike.

Silas sensed a huge strike coming towards him, ears heard the loud noise that was being produced by the mana of Carter.

The moment the strike was about to connect, he leaned in slightly as he put all of his strength into his legs and jumped up in the air.

When he reached the air, he raised his sword up in the air as he grabbed the hilt with both of his hands and muttered under his breath. [Crimson Moon Split]

Red lines along the blade lit up, brighter and brighter, until the sword burned like a miniature sun. It tore through the space itself, leaving a glaring red arc behind that split everything that came in its path.

The ground of the arena started to crumble slightly as it shook violently.

Carter's eyes widened in shock as his face got completely covered in sweat, but he calmed himself down as his grip tightened along the sword's hilt.

He suddenly twisted the blade as he put his sword back into its sheath. He leaned in slightly, put his right foot back and grabbed the sword with his right hand.

Eyes were locked onto the slash which was coming towards him, and a small voice came through his mouth. "[Aura Blade: Absolute Draw]"

His blade flashed from the sheath faster than the eye could follow in one clean, perfect stroke. A thin line of light tore through the incoming attack.

Both of the attacks collided together, the entire arena was filled with light, which numbed the eyes of the hunters who were watching the match.

The attacks neutralised each other, the mana of the two hunters' attacks faded away as if it never existed in the first place.

A smirk curled up on Silas's lips, who was still up in the air, he tucked both of his legs together as he shot himself down towards Carter.

The sword was in front, and he used his skills [Piercing Thrust] and [Phantom Step] at the same time.

He appeared right in front of Carter's face, the thrust was about to pierce the neck of Carter but he lifted his blade as he blocked the attack with his crimson aura.

Both of them smirked at the same time, but Carter swung backwards as he kicked Silas right in his gut. The kick made Silas fly right into the wall.

But this time, Silas had planted his feet into the wall first, neutralising the force behind the kick and got the composure of his body.

He stood back onto the ground, but his legs trembled slightly, the force had left a small impact on his body, which made his feet ache. 'This motherfucker is countering all of my attacks, am I going to lose now system?'
