Chapter 95 - Life on the line (1/2)

Jack was currently at the edge of the arena slumped down with his back up against the wall. He wasn't passed out but was badly hurt keeping an eye on Ray fighting Killer. He had never been this hurt in his life before. He was wondering what on earth that purple liquid Killer took was. That was the turning point of their battle.

Right now though, there wasn't much he could do but hope Ray was strong enough to beat him.

Although Ray had gotten some of his mana back, he was still struggling in the fight against Killer. He was still badly injured from before. Ray thought hard about it until he came to a conclusion.

Ray figured out the trick to the spear. There was an advanced beast called the spider crab. The spider crab's shell was special. It had the ability to bounce back attacks of a certain level. Killer's spear was made from the advanced beast of the spider crab.

Ray was struggling. He could attack but because of the weapon, but he wasn't able to put any Ki into his attacks. If he did, it would only recoil back onto himself like before.

Killer's weapon was not only a higher tier than Ray's but also Killer was able to put his Ki into the spear. Although elemental attacks would work, without Ki or mana they were basically useless.

The only thing that was keeping Ray in the battle currently was his footwork from the black sash training and his hand to hand combat skills learnt from the old man. Ray's chest was currently exposed due to the damage he took. He no longer had the fanged boar armour.

The attacks were coming in fierce and fast like a snake but Ray would knock each one away. Jack was amazed. Not only was Ray strong physically but he was also skilled.

”Dammit if I had dealt with him early on it wouldn't have been a problem. It looks like his speed, his power, everything has doubled.” Ray thought to himself.

Ray wished right now he had some of his dragon skills. With the fire and ice attribute at most, he could transfer it to what he was wearing. He wasn't able to cast a fireball or an ice ball. This way he could create a diversion.

As a spear attack came down on Ray, he went to uppercut the spear as hard as he could without using any Ki. It was the only thing he could do. As the two weapons collided, Ray could hear a cracking sound in his gauntlets.

Ray had more strength than the average human. Even without Ki, he would be able to match some students in terms of raw power but the main problem right now was his intermediate Gauntlets weren't good enough to go up against an advanced tier weapon.

When Ray was starting to run out of ideas, a voice sounded from behind.

”Here!” Jack said as he barley stood up holding his great sword.

Jack then threw the great sword in the air towards Ray.

Ray leapt up and caught the weapon.

”You need a better weapon, right? Well, you can borrow my baby girl for a little while.”

Jack had been watching Ray for a while now. When he saw Ray's gauntlets nearly break, he knew he needed to help out somehow. Jack was reluctant to give the weapon to Ray. There weren't many that could wield it for its huge size and weight. But if there was anyone who had a chance, it was Ray.

Ray happily took the great sword from Jack and went on the attack against Killer. The sword was indeed heavy for Ray forcing him to use two hands to swing the thing.
