Chapter 757 - Manipulating s.p.a.ce
The s.p.a.ce Elementalist didn"t think too much about Klaus" antics and attacked as soon as the man in charge of the platform gave the go-ahead for the battle.
Klaus felt a strong repulsive force from the place he was standing, and before he knew it, the s.p.a.ce exploded out with a powerful force that forced him back.
Luckily, he was already prepared for these types of attacks and retreated before the attack was able to send him flying.
Although the s.p.a.ce element was powerful in its own right, it was more effective when used with another element. As long as an Elementalist is frequent with the s.p.a.ce element, the only way he could be defeated by a s.p.a.ce Elementalist is when said s.p.a.ce Elementalist has unbelievable control over the s.p.a.ce element, or is well above their opponent in terms of cultivation stage.
Klaus was already prepared for the s.p.a.ce elemental attacks, so he made precautions.
He spread out both hands and snow started falling around him. With this, he has increased his sensitivity to the area around him. Just like the strong repulsive force the s.p.a.ce element has, it could also pull in anything from a certain s.p.a.ce.
Klaus felt that a few seconds after he created the snow around him. But he used his ice ability to glue himself to the ground while sending out attacks.
The s.p.a.ce Elementalist blocked the attack while retaliating. With a slice of his hand, the s.p.a.ce in front of Klaus was ripped apart.
Sensing the threatening force, Klaus quickly made an ice wall in front of him, while also causing a blizzard. His plan was to see if he could use the blizzard to freeze the s.p.a.ce around the platform. If he was successful, then the s.p.a.ce Elementalist was as good as defeated.
He added the heavy water into it to make the s.p.a.ce around even heavier and harder to manipulate.
The s.p.a.ce Elementalist felt the strong resistance from the s.p.a.ce around when he tried to dodge Klaus" attack. However, he managed to do so in the end.
Klaus continued attacking, but to his surprise, he realized the attacks seemed to take almost forever to get to the s.p.a.ce Elementalist.
The s.p.a.ce Elementalist would change the direction of the attacks once they get close.
No matter how Klaus tried to attack, either it would take too long to get to his opponent, or it would deflect to another direction. It was as if the s.p.a.ce Elementalist changed the s.p.a.ce of the platform.
Klaus was stuck in a quagmire. His attacks couldn"t come close to the s.p.a.ce Elementalist, while on some occasions, the s.p.a.ce Elementalist has actually returned them back at a speed faster than it previously was.
Klaus had only been able to block them due to his high reflexes.
"What"s happening?" Alice asked.
"He"s manipulating the s.p.a.ce around the platform. Unless Klaus increases the power of his attacks, to the extent that they would be enough to shatter this young man"s control over s.p.a.ce, it would be hard for him to win." Grey explained.
He was also a s.p.a.ce Elementalist, but because he had other elements, he didn"t get the chance to do things like this. Since the young man had only the s.p.a.ce element, he was very adept at using it. To be honest, this was one of the best s.p.a.ce users Grey had seen.
Grey didn"t let this opportunity go to waste as his brain went into overdrive as he simulated the moves the young man was making in his head. This was a good ability to have. Although the young man couldn"t switch places with his opponent like Grey, he had abilities Grey knew nothing about.
Of course, all this can be attributed to the fact that the young man was in a place where the s.p.a.ce element is well known, and there are hundreds of techniques for it. The only s.p.a.ce element technique Grey had was the Great Void technique, and it was purely by accident that he got it. Without it, he would"ve mainly been using the s.p.a.ce element as a means of teleportation alone.
"A s.p.a.ce Elementalist is a pain in the a**." Reynolds said.
"Not entirely, you can work your way around them if you"re powerful. I believe Klaus would get a way through this soon." Grey said with a smile.
He could guess how frustrated Klaus was at the moment. Whenever he sparred with Void before he got his s.p.a.ce element, he would almost drag out his hair in frustration. Void was on another level when it came to the s.p.a.ce element.
Grey hadn"t seen him manipulate the s.p.a.ce this much, and he knew it was because he had other elements as well. So he didn"t need to rely solely on the s.p.a.ce element.
Klaus saw the situation of things and knew that without a good move, he would be unable to defeat this young man.
"I guess I"ll have to go almost all-out." He said to himself.
He still didn"t want to break through yet since it would mean losing a hidden card. But with this troublesome opponent, he planned to use the heavy water to its fullest.
He had been hiding most of it for some time now, but it was time to let the entire arena see his special water.
Klaus snapped his finger and the heaviness of the blizzard increased by almost four times the weight of the previous time.
The sudden change caught the s.p.a.ce Elementalist off guard, and Klaus naturally attacked as well.
The attack was so precise that the young man had difficulties blocking it. He tried to use his s.p.a.ce manipulation abilities to increase the distance of the attack. But to his surprise, the attack tore through the s.p.a.ce with each.
This was an ice needle made entirely of Klaus" heavy water. It was not something that could be stopped so easily.
What made things worse was that, after the ice needle tore through s.p.a.ce, its speed doubled for some reason and it struck the young man before he could move away.
