Chapter 329: Ferguillo’s New Secre (1/2)

“Is it just me, or is Ayrin training even harder than before? Just what did Charlotte say to him?”

“Just what motivation did Charlotte give Ayrin?”

“Could it be that he is planning to open his fourth arcane gate before we leave Fallen Shadow Valley?”

Wilde, Ivan, and some others conversed between themselves as they stood in the doorway of a larger building in Witch Hat Town.

As time passed, Fallen Shadow Valley had only become quieter. It had already been several days since the last enemy sighting in the area outside of the Abyss of Evil.

As most of the buildings within Witch Hat Town were rather spacious and sturdy, the teams stationed here had begun using them as areas to train.

At the current moment, the sounds of violent collisions and explosions continuously rang out from within the building which Wilde, Ivan, and the others were standing around.

“Detestable!”

“House Baratheon is too detestable!”

Within the building, Ayrin currently stood facing an over four-meter-tall zombie. The horrifying to look at zombie was pitch black and had a rather square figure.

A massive explosion rang out as Ayrin and the zombie collided and sent each other sliding backwards. Afterwards, they immediately rushed towards each other once more.

“Homing Thunderball!”

“Chaotic Wind Movement Skill!”

“Crown of Ice and Snow!”

“World of Water!”

“Activate: Fist of the War God!”

Ayrin’s body flickered around the giant zombie as he constantly bombarded it with skills and thunderous punches.

The zombie was much stronger than Ayrin in terms of both arcane energy and physical strength.

To be precise, it had the strength of a five gate arcane master and the arcane energy of a mid-level four gate arcane master.

However, its method of attack was much simpler than Ayrin. It could only punch, kick, and spit out the occasional stream of black gas.

Every time the zombie was about to land a direct blow on Ayrin, it would be struck by a thunderball or restrained by water, delaying, or even completely stopping its action and preventing it from landing a fatal blow.

As the fierce battle went on, it began to seem like the black zombie’s strength was gradually waning.

“In just two days, he was able to go from being completely beaten up by the zombie to being able to toy with it!”

Wilde, Ivan, and the other onlookers all felt increasingly speechless as the fight went on.

Two days ago, when Ayrin had first taken out the Zombie Lord Gem and summoned out the Zombie Lord with his arcane energy, he had been mercilessly beaten up. At that time, he hadn’t posed the slightest threat towards it.

Yet now, after just two days of mastering new skills, he was able to already able to defeat it.

“He’s finally started developing his own style of fighting,” Ferguillo thought to himself as he calmly observed Ayrin.

Ayrin hadn’t actually become stronger these last two days. It was impossible for one to raise the quality of their arcane particles in such a short period of time. However, Ayrin’s usage of skills and his overall combat capabilities had been thoroughly honed.

As a battlemaster, Ayrin had improved greatly from when he first began and relied on only his instincts and intuition to fight.

From Ayrin’s performance, Ferguillo was certain that Ayrin had managed to find a unique style of fighting which would allow him to compete with existences stronger than him, whether it be arcane energy or pure strength, such as the Zombie Lord.

First, Ayrin would use Dragon Scale Absorption and similar skills to absorb his opponent’s first hit. Afterwards, he would use a barrage of skills to limit his opponent’s ability to follow up and deliver a fatal blow. This cycle continued until the opponent, faced with so many different skills and combinations, eventually showed a gap in their offensive, allowing Ayrin to sneak in a blow.

In but a single instant, the roles would be reversed.

Ayrin’s style was one which combined the strengths of a kaleidoscope master with his own extraordinary endurance!

“Bastard, you finally can’t endure any longer!”

“Kneel for me!”

In Ayrin’s mind, the zombie before him was an enemy from House Baratheon. At this moment, World of Water was invoked once more as the Zombie Lord was enveloped with water, immobilizing it. As the effect of World of Water dissipated and streams of water fell to the ground, Ayrin’s figure flickered and disappeared. An instant later, he appeared behind the Zombie Lord’s head, his robes flapping in midair around him.

“Crown of Ice and Snow!”

A resounding crack rang out as a massive crown of ice and snow viciously smashed into the back of the Zombie Lord’s head.
