…

Mark could feel a massive amount of mana surging to life inside him as his mana doubled in size and capacity. All of his fatigue seemed to immediately vanish, and he felt like he could fight for years on end without ever feeling tired! Mark was currently going through a mana high that would last for a few minutes until he got used to the feeling of suddenly having this much mana in his system.

Mark landed on top of a skyscraper and gently tried to drop Luna to the ground, but Luna refused to come down as she tightened her hand around Mark’s neck. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her face was buried in Mark’s collar as she held him like a koala!

“Luna, you need to come down.”

“Are you done running?”

Mark hummed in the affirmative, and Luna finally started to open her eyes slowly. She looked around and saw that they were standing on top of a skyscraper in the middle of a large commercial area. There were hundreds of lights around them, and the city was on fire, with screams and shouts echoing through the night from the injured people on the ground. Luna was about to turn to Mark and reprimand him for moving that quickly without warning her, but she stopped as she noticed that Mark had a hard look on his face as he faced off against someone in the distance.

Mark was staring directly at Morgana, who was sitting on top of a building a few hundred meters away from him. She was sitting right on the edge of the building with her legs crossed over the edge, and there was a sinister frown on her face as she glared right at Mark with black, piercing eyes.

Morgana was very similar to Arit physically, but that was where the similarities ended. That look in Morgana’s eyes. That was something that not even Arit’s alter ego, Queen, could replicate. It was a sinister look that promised a thousand different types of deaths! Mark knew that Morgana was only a simple human right now, but he could feel an unbelievable amount of power somewhere deep inside her. Just like Merlin, there was just too much mana inside Morgana for the game to be able to hide her true threat level.

“I knew that stupid Merlin couldn’t do anything right.”

Morgana muttered in a low tone as she saw Mark staring at her, and in the next moment, Merlin landed beside her from the sky. Morgana looked up at Merlin with a glare, and Merlin smiled sheepishly at her. He knew that he had messed up in allowing Mark to get all the way over here, but there was nothing that he could do against speed like that. Mark was just too fast for Merlin to keep up with. And besides, Merlin was very restricted in this game. His strength and his mana were both limited, so he wasn’t used to gauging his own strength yet.

Merlin didn’t even bother trying to explain any of this to Morgana since he knew that it would fly over her head as excuses. She was pissed, and nothing he did could stop that.

“I need you to let go, Luna.”

Mark finally spoke up as he told Luna to come down, and Luna nodded as she put her feet to the ground gently and released Mark’s neck!

“Ugh!”

Luna immediately fell to her knees as she lost all the feeling in her legs. Her entire body was vibrating from shock, and she knew that it would take some time for her to get the feeling back in her legs. Mark bent down and put his hand over Luna’s chest. A blush appeared on Luna’s cheeks as she felt Mark touching her breast, but the embarrassment immediately turned to shock as she saw something appear over her chest.

[Armor of Ares] has been activated.

The Armor of Ares took on the form of a military bulletproof jacket. It was black with a few straps over the shoulder and around the waist, and Luna couldn’t understand the feeling of safety that surrounded her once it appeared on her.

“Stay behind me, alright.”

Mark spoke up, and Luna looked up as he walked past her and stood in front of her. At that moment, Luna felt her mind travel back four years into the past when someone else stood in front of her in the exact same way. Mark’s wide back and strong stance reminded her of that boy a little too much, and Luna closed her eyes tightly as she tried her best not to think about him. KING was dead, and there was nothing that could bring him back.

Luna opened her eyes again, and this time, she had a strong resolve in them as she glared at Merlin.

“Kick his fucking ass.”

Mark grinned and tilted his head to the side while cracking his glove-clad knuckles.

“Your wish is my command, master.”

[User has sent mana to his legs.]

Mark flashed across the roof faster than anyone could follow, and Morgana’s eyes widened as she saw a hand appear right in front of her face! What!? He was aiming for me!? Morgana didn’t think that Mark would come directly for her, and even Merlin was completely caught off guard as he watched Mark appear in front of Morgana!

Morgana immediately started to lean back in shock, but Mark grabbed her before she could go far, and his mouth split into a grin as he activated his Lightning Surge!

WOOSH!

A massive gale of wind suddenly blew out from a magic circle beside Mark and threw him away from Morgana before he could do anything! Merlin put his staff forward and activated an explosive spell as both of them raced into the city to start their battle!
