Chapter 141 - Chain Quest: Souta vs. Gregory 3
"We better get going," Brianna said while looking at the chaotic scene.
Powerful shockwaves were sweeping out the area every second. Gregory and Souta"s battle was many times higher than their level. They were taking damage just by standing near the battlefield of the two.
"That"s right." Jane nodded and looked at everyone from Mage Cla.s.s 1-B. She opened her mouth and said, "Let"s get out of this city. All of you are Miss Lumilia"s cla.s.smates, right? In that case, help the injured ones and leave this place immediately."
By injured people, Jane was talking about Bryan, Lynn, Nayo, Cl.u.s.ter, George, and Lumilia.
Everyone looked at her and nodded their head in agreement. Gregory was using a powerful tier 3 spell while Souta was using best feram and dark grade sword so their battle was fierce. It"s only a matter of time before they get caught up in Souta"s battle.
Since all the students of Mage Cla.s.s 1-B were here, they could easily carry six injured people with their numbers.
"Souta..." Lumilia muttered as he looked at Souta"s figure who was fighting Gregory alone.
She was in the back of Alice. She couldn"t move her body well, so Alice has to carry Lumilia in her back.
"You don"t need to worry about Souta. He will not fight an individual like that man if he knew that he didn"t have a chance to win." Alice said when she heard Lumilia"s voice. "Also, Souta is only fighting him so that you could leave the city, am I right? If that"s the case, then we better leave as soon as possible."
"Your right..." Lumilia nodded at Alice"s words as she knew that Alice was right.
Brianna and Jane lead the way while the students followed them from behind. John stayed in the rear so that he could protect them if someone attacked them.
John looked at Randolf and Yujin who stayed. He opened his mouth and asked, "You two, are you planning to stay here?"
"Nope, I just wanted to watch the show in front of me," Randolf said with a smirk on his face. He then turned to John and added, "You can go now. I don"t need you to protect me. I can protect myself."
"Okay." John nodded then he looked at Yujin. When he saw that Yujin wasn"t saying anything, John turned around and followed the group.
Randolf looked at John before he turned his gaze at Yujin. "So what are you planning to do here? Do you also want to watch the fight like me or not?"
Yujin looked ignored Randolf and he instead focused his attention at Souta who was fighting Gregory.
"Ignoring me, huh? I also didn"t expect that Souta"s sword is a dark grade weapon. If he didn"t have that sword to stop that n.o.ble head, then are you going to use your power." Randolf said as he looked at the battle.
Every second the ground will tremble and a powerful gust of wind will follow after that. Sometimes the wind possessed heat that could melt down ordinary folks.
Yujin turned his head when he heard Randolf mentioned his power. He knitted his brows and stared at Randolf"s face.
"If you"re not going to use it then you will not be able to fight me or Souta. Even Bryan could defeat you with your current normal power." Randolf slightly turned his head and looked at Yujim from the corner of his eyes. "Am I right, spirit user?"
"As expected you know it." Yujin finally opened his mouth. "But how did you know it?"
"How? It"s simple I can see the spirit particles around you." Randolf said as he pointed at his own eyes. "You should use it because you will not be able to master that power without using it. That"s why you couldn"t completely hide the spirit particles from my eyes."
"Even the teachers didn"t know about it. Don"t tell me you have..." Yujin said as he realized something from Randolf"s words.
"Yes, I have special eyes." Randolf nodded with a grin on his face.
If Souta was here, Souta would be shocked if he heard this information. Spirit User or Spirit Contractor was one of the super rare cla.s.ses in the Battle World Online.
A Spirit Contractor uses the spirit that they contracted as a source of power. Most of their strength came from the spirit. The contractor will grow stronger along with the spirit and will learn a unique skill suitable for their cla.s.s.
Souta knew some powerful players that have the Spirit Contractor cla.s.s. They were in the top 100 global rankings of the game.
Boom!
The ground shook heavily as a huge explosion occurred.
[Exploding Earth]!
Gregory casted another powerful spell and the ground beneath Souta exploded.
Souta jumped in the air and he controlled his best feram to block the explosion. He then tightly gripped the Vajra sword and charged his energy on the sword.
The sword emitted a bright red light and Souta thrust it towards the explosion beneath him.
He only created a barrier using best feram to stall Gregory"s spell. He knew that it wasn"t enough to stop a tier 3 spell so he had to create an attack that could match the spell.
Souta poured a huge amount of best feram and the [Vajra Sword Saya] energy in the sword before he used the [Crimson Moon] skill.
A huge red crescent energy clashed against the tier 3 spell that Gregory casted and it caused another huge explosion.
Boom!!
Everyone in the city right now could feel the burst of power and the trembling of the ground. The aftershocks of the battles woke up every citizen of the Gripin city.
"This is bad... He"s too strong." Gregory said between his ragged breath. His body was full of wounds as he couldn"t completely avoid Souta"s attack.
Although, he knew how to fight using a sword. Gregory would say that he wasn"t an expert to it as his expertise was casting powerful spells. But to think that a mere student was suppressing him with swords skill was out of his expectations.
He still practiced the way of the sword longer than Souta, so how? It"s because of that dark grade sword. Even he, the head of the Vidrato family, didn"t possess a dark grade weapon at all.
He couldn"t handle Souta"s aggressive fighting style.
Swoos.h.!.+
Gregory felt Souta appeared behind him. Souta couldn"t completely hide his presence because of the powerful energy leaking out in his body. Souta didn"t have a monster orb so he couldn"t contain the best feram in his body.
That"s the reason why Gregory could sense his position easily.
Swoos.h.!.+
Gregory bent his body forward and a red blade pa.s.sed above him. He controlled his mana and coated his body.
He quickly turned around and launched a powerful kick at Souta.
Swoos.h.!.+
Souta antic.i.p.ated his attack so he managed to avoid it easily without any problem.
"I got you."
He opened his left hand and quickly grabbed Gregory"s leg.
"d.a.m.n!" Gregory cursed as Souta pulled him while thrusting the Vajra sword at the same time.
Swoos.h.!.+
Gregory looked at the sword and he swiftly moved his hand. He changed the direction of the sword, which was heading towards his chest, by hitting it on the side.
The sword pierced his left shoulder and he avoided fatal injury. He then clenched his fist and shot a powerful punch at Souta.
Bang!
Souta received the blow on his face. He felt a taste of iron inside his mouth.
His gripped on Gregory"s leg loosen, so Gregory forcefully pulled his leg and used the momentum to launch a kick using his other feet.
Bang!
Souta flew and crashed on the ground creating a crater filled with smoke and dust.
"Argh! That hurts!" Souta cursed under his breath. He looked at his exhausted body and found that his blood was oozing out in some of his pores.
Really, his body couldn"t take the pressure of the best feram and the Vajra sword.
The deal that he made with his sword was to increase the added percentage to his abilities by one hundred percent.
A normal [Possession] skill of the Vajra sword could increase his overall abilities by fifty percent and this fifty percent wasn"t enough to defeat Gregory so Souta made a deal with his sword. And that was to increase the added percentage by one hundred percent in exchange for his lifespan.
A normal goblin has twenty years lifespan. So, Souta has twenty years lifespan but it grew larger when he evolved into High End Goblin and Goblin Corruptor.
Both of his evolution increased his lifespan by ten years. It means that evolving into High End Goblin increased Souta"s lifespan by five years and the Goblin Corruptor too.
Saya, the Vajra sword, took these ten years in exchange for power and Souta agreed to her condition. He doesn"t need to worry about it because once he evolved into a higher life form, his lifespan will increase great. It was especially the case in his next evolution because, in this evolution, Souta will gain his own monster orb.
"Saya..." Souta muttered as he looked up.
