Chapter 1033 - Secret Master, I Have Never Seen Someone This Unlucky (2/2)
As a Mage, it was only logical to have some close-range combat abilities.
Having been suppressed in close-range combat, Secret Master was secretly shocked. Such powerful blows.
He had sparred with quite a number of Pugilists before, and he realized that Han Xiao’s Lord’s Avatar’s close combat strength was even stronger than some Beyond Grade A Pugilists. The storm-like attacks were very difficult for him to hold on. He was stunned by Han Xiao’s strength.
Black Star feels stronger than rumors say…
This thought only flashed for an instant before disappearing. Secret Master focused on the matter at hand and diverted his attention to do two things at once. He dealt with Han Xiao’s fierce close-range attacks while controlling his magic energy to build up to his best Secret Studies spell that was aimed at one’s luck.
Luck was originally formless and almost superficial, but at this moment, in Secret Master’s vision, blurry fog suddenly appeared around every life form. Some fog clouds were thick, and some were thin.
This was Secret Master’s unique spell. It combined the study of the soul, mind, foresight, fortune telling, and many more magic fields. He was successfully able to quantify the target’s luck. The thickness of the fog represented the luck of a being.
The luckier one was, the thicker the fog would be. Those protagonist-type charters who had Luck Glows usually had the thickest fog.
“Let me see how strong your luck is!”
Secret Master had made up his mind to reduce Han Xiao’s luck.
When he looked closely, he was completely stupefied.
Usually, Beyond Grade As were very lucky people. For them to reach this territory at the top of the universe, there was at least a minimum to how unlucky they could be. Black Star’s luck should have been exceptionally strong; he should have been covered in thick fog.
However, the real situation was the complete opposite. The fog around Black Star was so thin that it was almost non-existent!
Secret Master had observed countless people before, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone this unlucky! He could hardly believe his own eyes!
It doesn’t make sense! How can a Beyond Grade A’s luck be this weak‽
How can someone this unlucky become a Beyond Grade A‽
Secret Master was completely stunned.
Initially, he wanted to damage Black Star’s luck, but now that he looked at it…
Can this guy’s luck even be decreased‽
Secret Master’s many unique spells revolved around indirectly dealing large amounts of spiritual damage through decreasing the target’s luck, but facing Han Xiao… he realized that his trump card seemed useless.
For an instant, he lost concentration and immediately showed flaws mid-combat. Han Xiao did not care about his internal thoughts at all and seized the opportunity.
Bang bang bang!
Lightning-fast punches landed on Secret Master’s body quickly, sending in waves of impact.
Being badly beaten up, many defensive runes on Secret Master’s body shattered. Feeling the pain, Secret Master did not dare let himself get distracted again. He took a defensive stance and held on under Han Xiao’s attacks.
While the two of them fought intensely, Ravenlaude, who was also included in the range of the Void Prison, felt conflicted.
Normally, Ravenlaude would help the dynasty’s ally, but now, Black Star was also a competitor who was fighting for the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy.
“I can only complete the mission and gain a Universal Treasure if I take the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy back from Han Xiao’s hands.”
After some thought, Ravenlaude made his decision and started to cast spells to cancel out the effects of the Void Prison.
“Hmm?” Sensing the disturbance, Han Xiao turned around and gave Ravenlaude a death stare.
“Don’t look at me. I’m just executing the dynasty’s mission.”
Ravenlaude noticed Han Xiao’s stare and nervously replied. Then, he silently tried to break away from the Void Prison together with Secret Master.
The next second, the Void Prison was broken. The space around returned to normal. While the two of them fought, Ravenlaude opened a teleportation gate immediately and disappeared, heading toward the mechanical army, which was escorting the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy away.
Seeing this, Secret Master wanted to do the same. However, the Lord’s Avatar prevented him from doing so.
The rest of Han Xiao’s machinery had now arrived. They activated space stabilizing devices and magic disruption devices that covered this area, stopping the use of teleportation spells once again, causing Secret Master to be unable to chase after the Prime Chaos Mysterious Energy.
“Sh*t!” Secret Master’s face sank even further. This situation basically meant that he was already eliminated from this competition.
Furthermore, Secret Master could see that Black Star actually had a way to stop Ravenlaude too. Only, he purposely let Ravenlaude go but kept him there.
He’s targeting me specifically‽
That’s too much!
Seeing Secret Master’s expression, Han Xiao chuckled. “You noticed I’ve let Ravenlaude on purpose? I’m not targeting you but him.”
He had purposely let Ravenlaude go and given him a chance to chase after his mechanical army because he wanted to make Ravenlaude a target to showcase his fists.
Due to the unhappiness last time, Han Xiao wanted to showcase more of his strength to the dynasty, but he did not want the outside world to know he had grown once again, in case the Mechanic Emperor sought him out again. Therefore, he wanted to shift the battlefield and not have witnesses.
A dynasty ally was the best target for that.
Compared to beating up enemies, beating up teammates seems better when creating a reputation? After all, after getting beaten up, his teammate still had to hide the information of the battle.
Although the Lord’s Avatar stayed to hold Secret Master back, all the Apostle Weapons were in the escort team.
With all that and the mechanical army, it would be strong enough even without him present.
Diverting forces and fighting in multiple battles at the same time was the Beyond Grade A Mechanic fighting method.
