Chapter 239 Level Up! (1/2)
Note: long Chapter!
The big mace in my opponent hand suits his tall and bulky physic and the thing odd about him is the jovial smile hanging in his face.
It looked like he had not come for battle but for sightseeing.
We both stood in the center of the arena with our weapons ready, just waiting for tong to sound.
”Tong!” The tong sounded loudly indicating, the start of the battle.
”Ahhh!” George shouted loudly as he came toward me with mace in his hand.
I did not get surprised by hearing his shout as he is one of those people who can't battle silently.
I sensed the two fluctuations from him as he came at me.
From the color of a layer of energies covering his body, he seemed to activate his strength and speed type skill.
Compare to other top opponents, his speed seemed average but I am not fooled by it.
This is all but trick, from what I've read in the forum. It is written that the strengthening skill he used is a hybrid type.
Not only it provides strength, but it also provides something like instant speed, coupled with the second-speed type skill he had activated, he can instantly increase his speed in a moment notice.
That is why I am not moving from my spot till he comes close to me, to others it is very idiotic but to me, it us best chose as I can do instant movement and now I have knight grade shoes which made me faster than before.
So, even if he activated his instant movement right after coming close to me, I am confident in getting away from him.
As he comes close to me, I sensed an intense fluctuation and George speed increased suddenly.
That fluctuation is not because his speed increased suddenly but he activated his third skill which is an offense.
''Take this!” He said loudly as the layer of sand had covered his mace, producing thorns of sand all over it.
He again increased his speed and his mace come toward my head swiftly.
If I did not do something this very movement, that mace going to blast my head, injuring me heavily.
I now see why most of his opponents have become quite an injured fighting him.
”fur fur fur fur fur….” I instantly ignited all the jets behind my back moved sideways with my instant movements.
His mace was only armed away from me when I moved away, I would have not taken such risk if I was not confident.
Fire Strike!
I launched my attack as I move, I launched this attack at the perfect moment.
This attack going to hit him very hard, I said smilingly.
”Hehe!” he smiled weirdly seeing three bolts of mana coming toward him.
As I launched the attack, I was sure at least one of my mana bolt will hit him when my mana bolt halfway into the distance, I saw his sand mace getting bigger.
I turn happy for movement thinking he is enlarging his weapon but soon notice, he is not enlarging his weapon but manipulating his skill, so it at like a shield.
Audience as well as me, couldn't help but gasp seeing this.
This one hell of skill control!
”Ping ping ping!” my three fire bolts had collided against his big fire mace rapidly as I took the sip of the potion.
''Well it's a good move but if it's all you have then you should go home!” He said and swung his mace and thorns of sands came at me.
”Furfur fur fur fur…” I ignited the jets behind me dodged the sand thorns.
I knew about this move of his and been vigilant against it. So, as soon as I saw him swinging his mace, I quickly moved away.
As I dodged his attack, I saw him coming toward with corner of my eye.
Fire Strike!
I attacked him with fire strike again but this time, instead of using his sand type skill, he used his defense type skill and came at me without stopping.
I felt a little worried seeing that but again ignited fire jets behind me to the limit, not only that I even activated my Grade 1 strengthening skill and speed type skill.
My speed increased suddenly and distance between us which was lessening increased again.
This is my highest speed and I am confident that very people will catch up to my speed as not only I had ignited jets and used my grade 1 skills, I even have the help of my newly acquired knight grade boots.
”I will not let you ran away!” he said and increased his speed again.
I am shocked seeing this, I thought his earlier speed is limit but seeing him swiftly coming at me, I noted this is his ultimate speed.
Fire Strike!
I attack again but like the last time, he activated his defense skill with decreasing his speed.
A spark of fear rose my heart but I quickly squashed it and started to think.
There is only one option left! I thought about to see him coming ever close to me.
”Furfur!” I ignited two biggest jets under my feet and jumped back to put more distance between us.
This move might not have possible in the fighting ring due to its limited space but in the arena, there is enough space to do that.
As I was jumping back, I sensed a fluctuation of mana, only to see numerous disc of sands were materializing around George.
I ignited my sword and enlarged my shield to regular size seeing the disc.
This sharp disc made of sand is the second attacking type skill of George.
