Chapter 299 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Brando vs. Kan

Clang! Clang!

Kan fiercely launched an attack at Brando. Every time his fist collided on Brando's shield, a loud metallic sound would echo in the whole area. It gust of wind would follow after that.

Clang! Clang!

'This guy is too strong...' Brando gritted his teeth as he tightly held the large shield.

He couldn't stop that man called Kin. It was useless. He thought that he would be able to stop them on his own but he was just arrogant. He got conceited that he reached B-rank quickly. He let it get on his head.

[Shielder's Aura]!

[Knight's Will]!

He activated to skills of his that boosted his power and defensive.

Kan raised his eyebrows when he saw Brando's skill activation. He smirked and increased his pace in punching the shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blueish light covered the shield before Brando charged forward.

[Shield Bash]!

Kan punches it one more time but the shield reflected the power causing him to flew five meters away from Brando. He twisted his body in the mid-air and landed on his two feet.

He lifted his head and looked at Brando but he found him already in front of him.

"Oh...?"

[Triple Frame Shield On]!!

Three semi-transparent shields formed beside Brando. These shields could attack and defend at the same time.

Two shields moved on Kan's side and it smashed him. It was trying to crush him into a pile of meat.

"Kiki." Kan laughed as his mana burst out of his body. It gathered on both of his arms and he pushed the shields away from him.

"Tsk!"

Brando clicked his tongue when he saw this so he controlled the remaining shield to smash Kan from above.

Swoosh!

The shield flew at high speed and it was about to crash on Kan's head. Kan looked at it with a smile on his face. He lifted his feet and transfer some of his mana in it. He then launched a kick the moment that the shield arrived above him.

Bang!

Cracks appeared on the shield and it quickly spread around it. After a few moments, the shield crumbled down like a fragile glass. Its tiny particles faded into thin air.

[Charge]!

[Shield Spike]!

[Swift Tackle]!

Brando tackled Kan with his shield. The surface of his shield had spikes on it. These spikes pierced his opponent's skin causing blood to splash.

"You're getting ahead of yourself," Kan said plainly and flames covered his left arm. He launched a powerful punch while ignoring his wounds.

[Burning Earth Crushing Fist]!

Brando squinted his eyes as a blinding light erupted from Kan's fist. It was followed by the intense heat that almost burned his skins. He could feel a large concentration of mana in front of him. He understood that Kan's was going to launch a powerful and stronger skill.

But what could he do? He knew that he wouldn't be able to avoid it. With his speed and Kan's speed, there's no doubt that Kan was faster than him by a mile.

So he could only block this attack. He could only trust his partner in this situation.

Boom!

Brando gritted his teeth as he felt the powerful energy collided with his shield. He poured his mana in the shield to make it stronger.

He felt that his bones were being crushed. Blood flows out of his pores as the impact threw him into the building.

Swoosh!

His body flew as it destroyed the walls before he finally stopped deep inside the building. He was embedded on the ground with the walls and pillars cracking down.

"Argh!" He groaned in pain as he spat a mouthful of blood. He felt his body aching as he tried to stand up.

Sob! Sob!

Brando heard a faint sound of crying. He turned his head to the side and saw a woman.

The woman was trembling while curling up on the corner of the room. Tears kept pouring out of her eyes while trying to hold back her voice.

She was afraid. The things that were happening in this city were out of her imagination.

He remembered that he was in the red light district. Of course, some people haven't managed to evacuate on time. They could just wait here for their death.

'She's just a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e. She didn't have the power to protect herself.' He thought. Right, he was a shielder. He would protect her even if she was a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e.

He gritted his teeth as he stood up with great effort. "Don't worry, I'll protect you so you should go out and leave this place." He said as he narrowed his eyes.

The woman raised her head and looked at Brando.

Brando smiled wryly and said, "I'll buy some time. You should leave this place as soon as possible."

The woman watched Brando left with a dazed expression. After a while, she wiped her tears and nodded, "T-Thank you..."

...

Kan felt the ground vibrated and a wave of mana in the outer area of the red light district. He looked in that direction and smiled, "It seems that Kin already found them."

He was sure that Kin wouldn't have any problem in capturing that little girl. Kin was the strongest in their group as he was one of the executives of their organization.

They wouldn't have this chance if the Seven Deadly Sins didn't attack this city. Their group wasn't enough to capture that little girl in this city full of powerful people.

"Still those people are really powerful..." He muttered while looking at the barrier in the sky.

After capturing that little girl, they have to leave this place in case the member of the Seven Deadly Sins arrived. The Seven Deadly Sins wouldn't care even if they were a criminal organization. As long as they weren't part of the Seven Deadly Sins, then they would kill them.

Thud! Thud!

He turned his head as he heard footsteps on his side. He saw Brando walked out of the building with unsteady steps.

"Oh, you still want to go," Kan said as he walked towards Brando. He suddenly stopped when he saw the look in Brando's eyes.

"You're a shielder, right? You want to protect those people using that puny shield! Then, I'll crush your hope! You wouldn't be able to protect everyone with that kind of shield!"

He roared as he gathered all of his mana in his fist. He then pounced at Brando with a mad expression on his face.

Swoosh!

Huff!

Brando took a deep breath as he tightened his muscles. 'I'll be in your care partner.' He thought while looking at Kan with determined eyes.

A shielder's partner was his shield. He shouldn't hesitate to use his shield.

Kan arrived in front of him before he threw a powerful punch. Brando gritted his teeth as he moved his shield to block Kan's fist.

BANG!!

"Argh!!"

Cracks formed on the shield as Kan kept smashing it with his fist. High density energy was splashing out in the area and it destroyed anything that it hit.

The impact of the punches was causing injuries inside Brando's body. Blood poured out in his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

"Just die!" Kan shouted as he threw one more punch. This punch was the strongest. He used everything that he had in this last punch.

BANG!!

His fist pierced the shield and it landed on Brando's stomach. Brando spat a mouthful of blood as he was blasted towards the building once again.

Cracks spread out on the shield before it crumbled down. Fragments of it fell on the ground causing a metallic sound.

Cough! Cough!

Brando coughed heavily as he spat a large amount of blood. He felt could hardly move his body and his eyes were getting heavy every second.

"Argh!"

His shield was gone. What he could do if he didn't have his shield? He couldn't protect anyone.

What Greatest Shielder?!

The shielder was nothing if he didn't have his shield. How could he protect his friends?

"I'm sorry everyone..." He muttered before he loses his consciousness. He suffered a devastating defeat this time. He didn't have a will to fight anymore.

"Tsk! What a weakling..." Kan clicked his tongue as he glanced at Brando. He opened his palm and shot a ball of mana towards Brando.

Boom!

The building exploded as Kan turned around and started to walk towards the battle of Kin.
