Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse-Novel

"KYLO!!!" Lara cried out.

*WHAM!*

The large metal club rammed into Kylo's arms from the front. Kylo's eyes widened, his jaw dropped before he was blasted away.

His figure soared through the air, right through the bulwark of the deck.

Lara moved to step in to grab him, but by then it was too late, his figure had already faded away as it dropped off.

Lara's pupils dilated, her heart sank, she had completely frozen with her arm stretched out in his direction.

Her eyes were filled with despair.

As she got up to run over to the edge to go help Kylo, she was stopped by the horned one who she had healed.

"D-Don't do anything rash! Focus on escaping with this chance he brought us!"

Lara found him crazy for even mentioning the thought of her leaving her child in a situation like this.

"I'd rather die...! Let me go!! Let me heal him!!" She struggled to break free from his grasp.

Lita who watched this, looked over in the direction of were Kylo had fallen.

The bulwark was completely broken around the part, further emphasizing on just how hard he had crashed through it.

It wouldn't have been a surprise to assume he was dead after that, and if not, he would be plummeting to the very ground at high speeds just waiting to die at this rate.

Still, Lita's expression didn't change.

Rather it was calm and focused, almost as if she was waiting for something.

*Grasp*

"Calm down mum, look." She pointed at the broken bulwark.

Lara did as told and noticed something which caused her to drop to her knees.

First a hand, and then the other, slowly something was climbing over the side of the ship.

As the figure pushed itself up, Lara's eyes teared up.

There Kylo stood, his shirt now slightly torn from the recent impact.

'How is he still standing?' The healed horned one wondered.

It wasn't just him, they all shared the same thought.

A hit which was able to disfigure other horned ones, only slightly bruised and swelled up his arms.

"You..."

"You did something before I hit you, didn't you?" The Kessho asked

The Kessho took a step towards Kylo, completing ignoring the others. He chuckled once more as his blood began to boil as he died to know.

"I didn't feel much of a connection..." He muttered

Kylo didn't reply.

There was no need to explain it.

Right before the Kessho's bat had hit him, almost the instant before, Kylo had created amassed a vast amount of air.

He took it from not only the surroundings, but the air pressure which he had created from using [Dance of the wind spirit.]

The metal bat hit against all that air gathered, right before it hit him.

The impact was padded down so much from the air that it only knocked him away.

And after being knocked off the ship, he simply used the wind to dash himself back onto the deck before he could plummet downwards.

He couldn't fly like Charlotte after all.

Kylo quietly got into a fighting stance, Lara's eyes lit up upon seeing it, she covered her mouth.

'That fighting stance... It's...'

"Gray's... It resembles it." Lita continued, almost as if she had read her mother's mind.

"You..."

"I like you kid... You're the first person to survive a swing..."

[Strength Amplification: Six Fold.]

The Kessho's arms bulged out once more in a veiny yet muscular structure. A grin grew widely on his face, as he leapt towards Kylo.

*Wham!*

"Kylo, don't worry about fighting! Just focus on getting awa-"

Lara was interrupted by Lita, who turned to her and grabbed her hand with a determined look on her face.

"Mother... Please... I know it's hard... But just believe in Kylo..."

"Just this once..." Lita muttered.

Whether it was her daughter's words, or the confident look on her son's face, Lara didn't know.

But after hearing Lita say those words, she watched. Her eyes were glued to her one and only son and the fight which he was about to take part in.

She hesitantly nodded in response and watched, making sure not to even blink so the second anything would happen, she'd be the first to heal him.

The second, no, the instant he was injured. That was when she would act.

"Why haven't you moved? Getting cold feet?" The Kessho asked as he reached Kylo.

He swung his large metal club down, at Kylo's calm frozen figure.

"Hey Charlotte, are you sure you didn't have to go with Lara? She's a healer, our numbers our few and every healer we have, has someone strong accompanying them." Questioned Ruby.

With her mouth hidden behind her raised fan, Charlotte looked over to the left in the direction Lara had travelled.

"There is no need for that, your majesty. My job is to keep you safe." Said Charlotte with a determined gaze.

"And besides... Lara already has someone powerful accompanying her."

Ruby raised a brow, she glanced over at a nearby ship and launched an blood needle towards a Kessho which had boarded on.

The needle pierced right into his head, killing him in the second before he plummeted downwards.

She was surrounded by the noble fleets in order to keep her safe so there was no need, but better safe than sorry.

"Who's accompanying her?"

"Her son, the boy named Kylo." Charlotte replied.

Ruby raised her other brow in surprise before turning to Charlotte.

"The wind elementalist like you? Wasn't he super weak?"

Upon hearing Ruby's question, charlotte couldn't help but smile.

"Weak...? He doesn't give off much of a presence so I guess that would be the natural assumption..."

"Fear not your majesty, that boy... He's a lot stronger than he looks."

Charlotte had a proud look on her face as she lowered her fan.

"He's favoured by the winds after all..." She muttered, her hair swaying to the left as a strong breeze blew by.

Kylo's eyes widened as he stared at the giant club approaching his face.

'I can see it...!'

*CRASH!*

The metal club slammed down at the deck, barely missing Kylo as he dashed to the sides.

Six-fold, that was the amplification he had active.

*Crack!* *Crunch*

The part of the deck which took the metal club's collision was torn away in just a single swing, the entire fleet shook from that one impact.

The air burst in the direction of the swing, making a chilling sound in the process.

Getting hit by it would be instant death without a doubt. Gathering the air pressure wouldn't work a second time.

Without so much as regaining his composure, the Kessho swung his large bat at Kylo who had dashed to his right.

The amplification made him immensely stronger than before... But it wasn't just that.

It almost tripled his speed while at it- *SWOOSH!*

Kylo's eyes widened, he propelled himself downwards, dodging the swing at him sent at him while he was mid-air.

Upon landing on the deck, he kicked off of it, propelling himself forward once again by burst a bubble of air behind him.

[Wind manipulation: Wind Dash + Wind Jet.]

Kylo, stepped it an phenomenal speeds.

All of the Kessho's strength amplification was focused on the arm which he was holding the club.

Kylo glanced to the right, and he could see it again.

The wind...

He could see the flow of wind.

Based on the flow, he could feel it... The Kessho had predicted that he would step in, another attack was coming without him haven't even fully completed the swing of the previous one.

Something which would take an immense amount of power to do

*Swoosh!*

The swing hit Kylo... Or so it seemed.

What it hit was his the after image of his silhouette, Kylo was currently mid-air right before him with a kick directed right up at his chin.

The large club passed right beneath him, missing him again.

The Kessho couldn't believe his eyes, how did he know where he'd attack before he could even attack?

The reason? Kylo was reading the flow of wind.

Still, it didn't bother him. He grinned, as he cancelled his swing's momentum and swung once again at Kylo who was before him.

There was no chance that Kylo's small figure would do any damage to him, and the instant after he'd attack him, the Kessho would finish him off.

Kylo was fully aware of this, but still... For some reason, he didn't back down.

He winded his leg all the back before bending his body backwards.

Kylo breathed in as much air as he could whilst gritting down on his teeth.

The air behind his feet, gathered instantaneously creating a strange shape.

The Kessho was too blinded by his own attack hitting to notice the shape...

The muscles in Kylo's body which had contracted, suddenly expanded. His leg burst upwards from the bottom of the Kessho's chin.

Both Kylo's and the Kessho's eyes widened.

"Huh...? What's that-'

[Wind Manipulation:-]

"DRAGON WIND'S RAMPAGE!!" Kylo yelled out.

*ROAAAAAQAAR!!!*

As the kick rammed into the bottom of the Kessho's chin, a shockwave of air burst outwards towards the people on the deck and an ear-piercing roar resounded across the skies.

The Kessho's head cocked back, his eyes trembling from the confusion.

At that instant, the wind in the shape of a long scaly limbless dragon passed right through Kylo's leg biting down an the Kessho's neck as it sent him soaring up into the sky.

*WHAM!*

At the same time, the metal club crashed against the side of Kylo's body, hitting his shoulder cleanly, blasting him down the deck.

"ARGH!!!!" The Kessho groaned out I npain as he soared up into the sky, he tried grabbing the dragon of wind but it had no physical form. - "LET ME-"

*Crunch!*

The dragon bit down even harder than before, and his neck snapped.

*ROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRR!*
