While the white blade gave Vorden speed, the black blade gave Vorden power. He had used the black blade to face off against the blood swipe attack, and it was because of this, his speed had significantly reduced.
The problem was, it was quite noticeable, not just to the vampires but even to Logan and Cia who were watching the fight. Knowing something was up, Xander had dashed in. But Vorden was no fool.
"I wanted to beat you myself, but humiliating you is just as good," Vorden said. ’Raten switch!’
Quickly switching places with Raten, the Black blade was thrown out at Xander. He easily dodged, and the blade continued until its tip was lodged in the ground. However, the aim was never for the blade to injure Xander in the first place, it was only to stall him for a little bit.
Now with one hand free, a blue mist started to form in it, until slowly it started to make a shape, it was the shape of a spear. It was the spirit spear, an ability borrowed from Cia.
For a second, Xander eyes had met with Borden’s, and as they did, he could see they had significantly changed from before. The same feeling that was felt as last time was sending a shiver in his entire body.
’This is no vampire, these are the eyes of a mad man.’ Xander thought.
The spear was thrown and was now lodged into Xander’s body, in an instant, his whole body felt weak, but not just a little, this was a new feeling for him altogether. He was completely drained. He almost felt as weak as a human.
Swinging down his white blade, it clashed and hit Xander’s forearm that was blocking his head. However, the strike wasn’t too strong and had only caused a flesh cut wound on him. The white blade and his power weren’t strong enough, and there were somethings that Vorden couldn’t make up for with just a few pills.
"This is not my fight, you finish him." Raten said as he switched back to Vorden.
There was a reason why Vorden had switched with Raten in the first place, that was because currently, Vorden had the power of both Logan and Cia. Although he wasn’t able to use Logan’s ability due to its complexity, he could still use his MC points. Combining Logan’s and Cia’s abilities, he was able to create a more powerful and longer-lasting spirit spear.
Not wasting this opportunity, Vorden slipped past Xander’ side, Lifted up the black blade, and with its power, he spun his body fast with his blade behind him. The course for the blade was right for Xander’s neck.
Everyone watching was on the edge of their seat and felt like they couldn’t breathe. When the blade was a few inches away, it was stopped. A hand had reached around the sword and held it in place.
"The fight is over, Borden is the winner!" Reli shouted.
"Yes!" Layla shouted in happiness. However, she realised that not everyone had the same reaction. Everyone had heard her cheer for no one else felt the same way. Instead, they were shocked.
"Who was this Borden guy again?" A student asked.
"I didn’t know there was someone stronger then Xander?" Another replied.
"Didn’t you see, he used an ability though, I don’t recognise that amongst the thirteenth families."
"Well, I think someone said he was from the tenths family. Perhaps it’s just a regular ability and not one belonging to the thirteen."
"That would make sense."
"Still, maybe Xander just isn’t as strong as we thought."
These comments from the audience continued, and of course, Xander could hear all of this, he was frustrated, for some reason he didn’t feel like he had lost the fight. It was only because he suddenly felt weak form that strange spirit spear.
He didn’t have any nasty wounds on him, and the attack on his forearm looked like a small scratch.
The students went into discussion mode about the current fight, while both Vorden and Xander stayed on stage. However, there was also a problem with winning the current fight for Vorden.
It was the fact that he needed to continue to fight while not getting hit. It seemed like it was almost an impossible task.
"Thats it for this discussion, as I can see there seems to be a bit of bad blood between the two of you." Reli said. "I think it would be best as a form of sportsmanship if the two of you would shake hands."
The anger inside Xander hadn’t settled and any way possible he wanted to hurt the person in front of him.
’Maybe I should slice and attack him the moment we shake hands. Or use my nails to dig into his skin.’ Xander thought. All of these thoughts were going through his head.
