Chapter 187 - Part Two: Zack Vs Luke- Final Face Off
I slammed my fist into his chest. My skill level is one step higher than his. This is more than enough to knock him out. When my fist made contact with his chest, he flew backwards and fell to the ground.
Luke made a low muffling sound, blood is dripping from his mouth. His twisted face is twisted even more.
"No way, how is this even possible?" This is a sham!"
"Please get me out of here!" Luke yells.
Luke's reasoning had failed him, and he couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes: loss, frustration, anger, disbelief, and fear. Luke experienced every possible emotion in a matter of minutes.
With his injured chest, he attempted to stand. He knew Zack had crossed the barrier and reached Special Trained at this point. He felt that this was no longer a fair duel.
"You, please let me go!" Luke began to rant while pointing a trembling finger at Zack.
I had a feeling this guy was having terrible mood swings. I'm going to take advantage of this situation to murder him. Otherwise, he might consider sacrificing a few more artefacts.
I drew my sword again and made a downward slash at him.
Seeing Zack moved his sword. Luke defends himself once more with an earth shield artefact. Despite this, the earth shield had numerous cracks as a result of previous attacks.
This time, it couldn't hang on any longer.
When the tip of the blade comes into contact with the death shield.
"Boom," another ominous sound reverberated throughout the arena.
As a result of the lack of earth elements, the earth shield artefact continued to break. The earth shield artefact is deactivated in a matter of seconds.
Taking advantage of the situation, I slashed my sword at his neck once more. In the air, my blade moves quickly.
He wanted to return after seeing that artefact become a shambles. Despite this, Zack is making another Sword move. He wishes to use the forbidden explosion pill given to him by Elder Jensen.
When he was speaking with Elder Jensen. He believed that the blood explosion pill was unnecessary. Luke demanded that he give him a defensive artefact. But the old fox made me take this pill. I assumed the old man had gone insane to exact his revenge.
But who would have guessed that the blood explosion pill would come in handy right now? He swallowed the pill and stepped back enough to avoid the attack.
Luke's blood boils in extreme heat as he swallows the blood pill. This forbidden pill consumes the warrior's blood essence to forcibly increase his strength.
Zack was aware of this. "This jerk is attempting to drag me into the pit." I expressed my displeasure.
No, I've got to finish him. If this continues, he may blow up his dantian. Seeing a his twisted figure under the stress of an explosion pill. I approached him using my movement technique.
Seeing Zack, Luke urged his blood to burn, and a surge of explosive power coursed through his veins. It is the polar opposite of the Special Trainee power, which is obtained by levelling up.
I got to close him in a single breath.
"Lightning Wheel!"
In an instant, an overpowering lightning wheel formed with me at its centre. The wheel is exploding with fierce lightning elements, making one's heart palpitate.
When he saw the attack, Luke's expression tightened. To counterattack the lightning wheel, he condensed his dark palm. This time, the dark palm had turned completely black.
His bloodline was greatly stimulated by the explosive pill. As a result, he pushed the poison elements in his bloodline to their limit.
Nonetheless, when the purple lightning wheel collides with the pitch black dark palm.
"Crack," the lightning strike was unafraid, and it easily ripped apart the dark palm.
Luke's face had turned pale. With fear, he wishes to flee the ensuing attack. However, it was too late. He took the full brunt of the attack because his attack failed.
"No!" Luke screams as he fails to avoid the attack.
While the purple lightning wheel slams into his chest.
"Boom," Luke flew backwards and landed on the ground like a broken kite. His internal organs had been ripped apart, and meridians had burst open. He had a large hole in his chest as a result of the attack.
Luke's vitality is fading, and he is struggling to stay awake. But, within a split second, He exhaled his last breath.
Seeing Luke's corpse. I gave a pleasant smile. Finally, the variable is no longer present. But, until the end, I couldn't figure out his bloodline. I sighed and stuffed his shattered body parts into the corpse preserver. The corpse preserver was then placed in my storage ring.
Finishing him also put my mind at ease. When I return to home, I'll be able to inquire about his bloodline with Uncle.
Then I destroyed all of the lightning traces in the area.
...
When Luke took his last breath, on the other hand. The sensor detected the signals of the last man standing and declared him the winner of the match.
The announcement was made. It caused quite a stir among students and faculty.
"He won!" exclaimed Ms. Adeline Key, She flashes a gentle smile.
Mr. Arthur's tensed brow, on the other hand, relaxed as he exhaled in relief. "How powerful is he?" He was thinking to himself at the same time.
Then they both went to greet him, and he wants to give him a healing pill at the same time.
When they both arrived at the front door, "Creak" the massive metallic door slid open at the same time.
Mr. Arthur and Ms. Adeline's expressions changed to disbelief as Zack took his first step forward. Both of them were taken aback when they saw Zack was unharmed.
"You, brat, you!" What exactly are you? "How come you don't have a single scratch on your body?" Mr. Arthur made a wry remark.
It's an incredible battle, he thought. "What a monster! He even killed Luke!" For the first time, he realised Zack was no pushover. He is one of the geniuses of wealthy training centres.
"Wonderful work, Zack!" And you really proved your worth this time." Ms. Adeline Key said, smiling.
Hearing the sweet words of Ms. Adeline Key. My heart swells with joy. I had a wide smile on my face without realising it.
"It's all thanks to your sparring session, Ms. Key!" I made a small bow to her. That is correct. I learned those instinctive reactions during the sparring session. When combined with perception, it's become my hidden talent.
Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, wore a solemn expression. He knew that the more dazzling Zack is, the more trouble he'll face on the way.
He appears to have caught something this time. He turned to Zack and said, "Well, it's all right, you're fine. However, this is not the time to be complacent. If they noticed you looking healthier after such a life-or-death battle. Certain people's curiosity will be difficult to quell."
Ms. Adeline Key's smile faded. She also understands the futility of a dead genius. The growth period is important even for a peerless evildoer. If they are caught in a violent storm during that time. Surviving will be difficult.
I sighed as I saw both of their solemn expressions. I understand that now is not the time to brag. Even if I don't take any action. People will undoubtedly pick up on some hints. Given that the old coot Jensen has returned, it's not a bad idea to be cautious and low-key.
Then I asked, "So, Mr. Arthur, I suppose you've already devised some strategy."
Mr. Arthur gave Zack a nod. Ms. Adeline Key ears perked up when she saw Mr. Arthur.
"Let people know, you've been severely injured in this battle," Mr. Arthur said. It will take a long time for you to recover. People can feel secure in this manner. Because you're both quite strong. It is common for a person on the winning side to sustain serious injuries. "Not like you!"
Hearing that, especially his last words to me, made me smirk inside.
"By the way, it sounds logical." Ms. Adeline Key agreed with Mr. Arthur's plan.
I, too, thought the handwriting (Plan) was excellent.
It doesn't cost me much to put on a show for my own protection. So I gave him a nod.
Mr. Arthur then escorted me to the underground clinic room to bandage me. I twitched as soon as I realised that. Ms. Adeline Key, on the other hand, laughed. For a brief moment, I reasoned that these positive vibes might stick with me indefinitely.
I left the clinic room an hour later with bandages all over my body. "Do you think it's too much, Mr. Arthur?" You truly transformed me into a walking corpse." With a sigh of disappointment, I said.
"Ha... ha... Ha..." Ms. Adeline Key laughed when she saw my appearance.
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed little.
"It's for your own good, little boy." You can untie it once you've returned home. You must maintain this act for at least five days." Mr. Arthur stated solemnly.
I twitched, hoping not to run into any of my classmates. Maria, in particular. She'll photograph my current appearance.. Then, She'll later use it to tease me.
