Chapter 298: Three times slower (1/2)

Before the countdown hit zero, Jugo was able to stand up. But it was noticeable that he was forcing himself.

Jugo stared at Yman with a twitching face. His vision was still dizzy. And that punch shook his head like it was going to break.

How did it happen? Is he going to lose against a lower-class opponent? He could not believe it. And it was unacceptable! What would Miss Rei-Rei and the others say if that was going to happen? He would be losing face to show. Damn! How did it come to this? Why was he at a disadvantage?

He already activated the secret technique of their family. But still, he was on the losing side? He could not take it!

Whenever he wounded him, he would heal it using his healing ability. Damn! If he wanted to defeat him, he must slice him to pieces or break him apart.

Yman was staring at Jugo with a slight smile. But Jugo didn't like it. It seemed like he was looking down at him.

Jugo made a hasty inspection of his body. Aside from his aching face and broken tooth, he seemed to be still fine.

No! He must do something! Right! There was still that! Jugo exclaimed in mind.

Yman noticed his enemy took something from his storage. This time, it was a ring.

'A ring artefact?' Yman asked in mind while narrowing his eyes. He wondered what it was this time. What kind of power his ring artefact was holding?

After Jugo inserted his finger into it, Yman heard a loud pulsating sound. And the source of it was Jugo.

”Eh? What is that sound?” Asked a student inside the waiting hall.

”Look!”

Shouted another student while pointing to the monitor. Specifically, he was pointing to Jugo, who was crouching slightly like a boxer.

Da-Dhak!

While they were watching him, they noticed Jugo's figure was bulging. His back grew broader.

Yman wondered if it was a shapeshifter artefact. But he took back his words because Jugo's figure did not change. Instead, his size doubled.

<Growth Artefact!> He suddenly heard Sistela's voice.

'My Deity, do you have details regarding it?' Yman asked his deity.

<Yes!> She was still mad that her partner changed her figure, but in any case, they were still partners. So, she must do her job. <Do you prefer visuals or hearing it out?>

'I will hear it,” he had no time to read as he was in the fight. So, hearing it was more convenient this time.

Sistela began explaining about the Growth Artefact.

'In short, it increases all his stats in another fold?' He said after Sistela finished telling him.

<Yes! Hmph!>

'Ah, My deity, what with that smug?' A bead of sweat trailed down on Yman's face. Perhaps, Sistela was still mad at him.

<.....>

She fell silent once again.

'That's suspicious…'

Regardless, his enemy had so many power-ups! It's unfair.

<Although you are ranting about it, your face sported an excited expression! That's creepy! Hmph!>

”Eh?!”

Yman was startled by Sistela's sudden holler. She was mad, right? Yman asked in mind but decided not to give much care about it. Yeah, she was still mad about her appearance. Look, she was bombing his vision with angry emoji. Wait, why Sistela turned like the Anonymous sender who persistently sent him emails?
