Chapter 1218 Legris Vs Edward and Kuzon [Pt 1]
~Do you have a plan?~ đđŁđxt.đđt
Kuzon heard the voice of his only available ally reverberate in his head, and his heart tightened a little.
So far, he had studied Legris and arrived at a few conclusions. Back then, he thought he had developed the perfect plan to take him down.
YetâŠ
âThereâs no guarantee that this plan will work. Last time, I failed woefully.â Kuzon admitted to Edward.
They were currently at a disadvantage because Legris could pull off yet another surprising move that would completely shatter their expectations and lead them to ruin.
In essence, any plan of his would be a gamble!
~I trust you, Kuzon. Iâm ready to follow your lead.~
As Edward brandished his blade in preparation, his eyes completely set and focused, Kuzon saw all of this and laughed at himself.
âHe has the resolve to do the neeful, so what am I being so hesitant for?â
Nothing in life was ever completely certain, yet people lived thier lives and made plans for how they wanted it to go.
The same applied to battle.
Even though they couldnât predict what Legris would do next, that wasnât to stop them from trying their best to understand his current capabilities and defeat him.
âHe also isnât entirely aware of our abilities, especially yours. We can use that to our advantage.â Kuzon smiled as he took on the same focused gaze as his partner.
âRight now, we need to understand his limits. That means creating avenues where he would have no choice but to reveal more of his cards. Once we understand his limitations, I can come up with a strategy that will checkmate him!â
That seemed conceited, especially coming from the one who just lost an arm and leg against Legris, but Kuzon couldnât care less.
He had learnt his lesson from that mistake, and he had no intention of making it any longer.
âThe major issue now is pushing him to his limits. I have a good idea of how to do that, but Iâll mostly be relying on you.â
Edward slowly nodded once Kuzon transmitted this thought to him, his eyes glowing with both azure and amber light.
He was ready in every sense of the word.
âThen⊠here we go!â
*******
Legris stood among himself, all eyes on the targets for elimination.
In a sense, he considered himself fortunate since two Constellation Hosts had gone out of their way to seek him out.
Even though his entire space was rich in pure Aether, the Constellatation Fragments still had more quality.
If he was able to defeat both Kuzon and Edward, that would add to his benefit.
HoweverâŠ
âItâs quite a task.â
âI didnât think I would need to expend so much.â
âThis is more bothersome than expectedâŠâ
Bringing two more versions of himself into reality was something he was saving for last, but Kuzon really pushed him to that point.
âItâs a good thing I took that countermeasure when I suspected somethingâŠâ
Not only was this more tasking for him, however, but the manifestation of his ability also ate through his current stockpile.
It wasnât wise to recklessly use so much of it, but at the same time, he didnât see himself winning if he didnât go this far.
âI already decided to do anything it took to succeed in this missionâŠâ
âThatâs why I trapped the Constellations with so much of itâŠâ
âThatâs why I havenât held back as much as I would for the sake of conserving more of it.â
At this juncture, it was all or nothing!
Desperation mixed with ambition filled Legris, and seeing two of his targets and resources before him only drove him further into his desires.
âKuzon is a bother, but the real threat is Edward. No matter. If I can separate them and handle their abilities separately, then it will be my victory.â
That meant he would have one version of himself attack Kuzon, while two would attack Edward.
âIf it comes down to it, thenâŠâ
No, it hadnât come to that yet. Legris chose not to jump the rope and simply focus on how he could emerge the victor given the current conditions.
âAlright then.â
âI can do thisâŠâ
âIâm going to win!â
Preparing all three versions of himself, Legris caused his darkness to ignite, and his pure black eyes manifested a purple glow within.
~WHOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!~
Instantly, all three forms of his scattered. Two swept through the collpasing space and rushed towards Edward, while two flew in Kuzonâs direction.
At this point, he didnât want to play with his food. It was better to take the most efficient route, using the pure essence of his ability to defend himself from any of their counters while focusing on destroying them.
He estimated that in just a few seconds, he would be able to neutralize his opponents and win!
The one that lunged at Kuzon was especially glad.
The young Midas had lost most of his Aether in their earlier fight, and he wasnât in optimal physical condition.
No matter how much he tried to compensate for his lost limbs using his Magic, it would do no good.
Especially not against his own ability!
âIâm going toââ
~WHAM!~
The sound of a flesh pounding on another flesh reverberated throughout the shattering expanse, as the most shocking welcome greeted his face.
Planted right in the middle of his face was a powerful punch that sent shockwaves flying all across the area.
âW-whaâŠ?!â
Kuzonâs handâthe one covered in his marionette stringsâhad successfully hit his face with the most devastating blow.
âKeuk!â Legris felt the pain course through his body, and his body jerked backwards in response to the powerful strike.
Before he could recoil from both the shock and pain, however, the same hand retracted itself, and Kuzon twisted his body to give him a kick with his Marionette legs.
~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!~
The hit sent Legris flying back instantly, his body becoming nothing short of a ragdoll.
In just two swift strikes, Legris found himself at the mercy of the supposed handicap and weakling of the bunch.
âE-ehâŠ?â
It was unbelievable!

Thank you all for reading!
Seems like the team has found a way to counterattack. I just hope we get to see some kind of jumping or reverse jumping.
