Chapter 99: Obvious weakness (1/2)

”What the hell was that?!” Screamed the person with dog ears.

”He could even cancel a spirit beast?!”Asked the person with narrowed eyes and wolf ears.

”Did my eyes play tricks on me?!”Said the girl with raccoon ears.

Most of the people inside the room exclaimed randomly in surprise.

The Knight-Captain Borge Bergal wrinkled his face. It was unbelievable even for him that someone was able to cancel a spirit beast.

”Aunt?” Ella called out. 'It seemed what happened recently was real. That guy did cancel an attack! How could he do that? I wonder what level his current Grace power is,' She thought.

”Fufu,” Laura giggled, ”Unexpectedly, he could not only cancel some simple attacks but even a spirit beast. Although it was only a rank 1 spirit beast, to cancel it is already beyond belief. That newbie is a wielder of unique ability,” She said to her niece who was staring at her with a face that was full of questions.

”Unique ability?” She repeated.

Laura nodded her head. She could not explain the newbie's ability. She had no idea what it was, but she felt it wasn't ordinary.

Beside her, Ella heard her friend muttering.

”H-He's not only handsome but also has an interesting ability,” said Hannah with gleaming eyes. Ella forced a chuckle from her words of admiration.

Ellias and Gilion countenance turned sour.

Anyhow, Vince's friends seemed to be unbothered by it.

Vince gritted his teeth.

”Eat this shit!”

KREKKKKKK!!

Everyone's attention returned back to the duel when Vince shouted and jumped higher in the air then consecutively sent golden-colored electrifying spears towards the newbie.

Seeing the incoming 10-15 electrifying spears, most of the spectators cheered once again.

”Woah! A high ranking spell!”

”That's overkill for sure!”

Some people shouted.

A second later,

Bang, bang, bang...!

It was followed by loud consecutive explosions that reverberated inside the training room.

Everyone fell silent once again when the newbie was enveloped by smoke caused by the explosion.

However, they could discern a person's shadow inside the smoke. It was standing without making any move, though, they could feel him alive.

They wondered if he was too beat-up to move.

Maybe Vince overdid it. Although they noticed some of the spears disappeared when the newbie waved his hand to protect himself, he was not able to cancel all of them.

Everyone admired that Vince was quick-witted in thinking of a way to render useless his enemy's ability.

Vince on the other hand stopped his barrage of attacks. It wasn't good if he accidentally killed the newbie in the presence of the empire's knight captain, headmaster, and the others.

Everyone expected a beat-up face when the smoke finally cleared up.

However, they saw him standing still.

”Damn it, is that newbie an immortal?!”

”Not even a tiny wound is visible!”

”Forget about the wound! Not even his clothes have a scratch!”

Vince knitted his brows and his face started to grim. It was impossible that he canceled all those attacks.

Not only Vince could not believe that this newbie was able to cancel those barrage of attacks, even the knight captain and Headmaster Laura also did.

In truth, Yman only canceled those which might bring greater damage to him. Hence, he was hit by the explosions from the other spears. But with his healing ability, it seemed like nothing happened to him. And to further fool his enemy, he had to cancel his resonance with Sistela and use it again so that the torn part of his clothes returned back to normal. This was the power of System Update. Well, at the moment Sistela was already a level 7 System Deity. He updated her frequently whenever he had extra money. Because a high-level deity brings many benefits to its user. More stats also added to him when they were in resonance.

Ella and Hannah widened their eyes. On the contrary, Gilion and Ellias narrowed their eyes.

Seeing the newbie without a little damage, Vince's friends finally took interest in the duel.

”You!” Vince shouted. Then he gnashed his teeth. It seemed like no matter what kind of ability he threw to this newbie nothing would succeed. 'This is bad,' he thought to himself. If the fight lingered longer, the headmaster would certainly think he was incapable!

He summoned more energy on his hands. Out of sudden, his left arm was covered by dense golden aura while his right was covered by dense ruby aura.

Everyone bulged their eyes while staring at him.

Vince tapped his hands on the floor of the training grounds.

”Earth Shaker - Twin Crush!” He shouted.

The ground trembled then it split and the crack ran towards his enemy.

They also noticed something glowed in the cracks, looks like it wasn't an ordinary crack. It rapidly shot towards Yman.

A second before it reached him, a crimson-colored aura burst out from his body and formed into a thin-layered transparent shield of about 12 inches away surrounding him.

The glowing-crack stopped when it bumped the thin layer shield.

Everyone was dumbfounded that even the ground attacked was useless against that newbie.

”Having a reliable mana source is quite convenient,” Yman muttered under his breath.

'Yeah, I know — don't worry we will find some way to cover the cons of it,” he replied via thought communication.

Nonetheless, Yman noticed the training floor was alreadyrestored. Looks like some high-level spell was cast on this whole room.

Yman smirked at his enemy. Then he shook his head while spreading his hand, looking disappointed at the enemy, ”Haahh, that's it?” He sighed asking.

Looking at his enemy showing disappointment to him, Vince's anger was visible on his face. Summed-up by the murmurs coming from the audience saying that he was about to lose from a newbie.
