Chapter 99: Obvious weakness (2/2)
Vince took a ring from his spatial storage.
”Grace!” He shouted once again, then the ring in his hand glowed in golden color. But the same as before, it was absorbed in his body.
A moment later, 2 diamonds were visibly embedded on his forehead. His hair changed color too. It became white.
Yman felt the pressure wasn't right. Then he heard the spectators shouted.
”Vince is serious now!” Said one of Vince's friends.
”Look, he used a rank 2 artefact!” One person pointed to Vince.
The Knight-Captain Borge Bergal narrowed his eyes and muttered, ”That newbie made a very big mistake in provoking his enemy.”
A golden werewolf appeared on Vince left and the Venomous Mouse appeared on his right.
”Dang it, this Vince can uphold two spirit beasts at the same time! No wonder he's a gold rank adventurer!”
”Mhm, looks like the fight is about to end, kukuku,” said Gilion.
”Right, although that other guy has an extreme defensive ability, his weakness was clear as day,” added Ellias, then he sighed.
Hannah knitted his brows, ”What do you mean, Ellias?”
Ella gazed at Hannah. ”He must be talking about how that guy did not use any attacks since the fight started. Probably he was waiting only to tire out his opponent. Maybe his ability and attributes were focused mainly on his defense,” explained Ella.
”As expected of the princ— ah I mean Miss Ella...” said Ellias in a hurry. He was about to call her princess. Ella and the others sighed. He immediately said his sorry.
Their eyes returned back to the duel when they heard a warcry coming from the gold rank adventurer.
They saw him rushing rapidly towards the handsome young man together with his two spirit beasts.
”Looks like Vince decided to bring the fight in a melee since the newbie can cancel all his ranged attacks. In this regard, even if the newbie cancels the two-spirit beasts with him, as long as he has enough mana with him, he can recreate them,” the headmaster said.
Everyone who heard her looked at her. Then they thought, 'He really was a smart guy!'
”That newbie made a big mistake of provoking a smart person!” Someone shouted.
They stared at him while holding their breaths.
Vince and his spirit beasts leaped in the air towards the newbie. He sent another barrage of electrifying spears while in the air to keep the enemy busy.
They saw the newbie wave his hand, then one after another the spears disappeared.
Everyone cheered in elation. This was the exciting part and Vince did some witty moves.
They knew that those spears were decoys only to fool the newbie. Most of them were waiting for the Butt-Slapping Technique of Vince.
They wanted to see this handsome newbie in an embarrassing situation.
When Vince and his spirit beasts entered at 5 meters distance away from that person,
BANG!
A loud sound of crashing reverberated inside the underground training ground.
Everyone had slack-jawed and immediately fell silent while staring at the front with wide-eyes, and with their mouths shut.
Vince was slammed to the floor by an invisible force. His spirit beasts were nowhere to be seen. They disappeared like bubbles.
Vince pushed his body, but everyone noticed his difficulty in getting up. His arms and body were trembling. It seemed like something was pushing him down. Actually, at the moment, strong pressure was pressing onto him. And he felt like he was being stared at by a being far beyond him.
”W-what happened?” Someone among the crowd muttered a question.
The knight captain frowned.
Everyone was puzzled by the scared look on Vince's face while staring at the newbie.
”What the heck?!” One of Vince's friends screamed.
And another one asked, ”Is Vince just acting?”
”Aunt? What happened?” Ella asked Laura, but she noticed her Aunt's disbelieving face while staring at that person with great surprise.
”It can't be. He could even use an in...ti...midation?” Said Laura in surprise.
”Intimidation? That's impossible. Only the elders hadthe ability to unlock such skill!” Gilion disagreed.
But how could he explain what his eyes were seeing at the moment? It was clear by the expression written on the face of Vince that he was scared of something. And an invisible pressure was pressing him on the ground.
Tak, tak, tak...!
Their ears picked an unhurried stepping sound. They saw that person finally move from his position. This was the first time he made a step. He was walking towards his enemy who was on his four. While trying to push his body upward.
They saw the gold rank adventurers who couldn't even look directly at his newbie enemy.
Everyone had question marks on their heads. Even the knight captain could not believe it. But he and the Headmaster Laura Agila knew what kind of skill the young man was using. And it was also what bugged them most.
All the people who were watching at the moment saw the newbie move behind Vince who was still on his four limbs lying on the floor.
Vince felt something bad when he noticed the wide-grin on his enemy's face. He tried to shout to give up, but his mouth couldn't even produce any sounds.
A moment later, everyone gawked in disbelief.
Their eyes turned dot — when the newbie kicked the butt of the gold ranking adventurer Vince!
Pak! — Ahh!
Pak! — Ahh!
Pak! — Ahh!
The pitiful yelp of him was like a creepy scream to those who heard it.
”What a merciless man!” Ella screamed while covering her face with her hands but her eyes were peeking on the gap of her fingers. Hannah on the other hand had a blank face.
Everyone prayed for Vince's fast mental recovery.
