Chapter 163: Taking Down!
Among all its uses designed by Luis. The most basic application of Magus Gloves is electromagnetism. That is what Luis was going to use to reach the cargo ship. Infusing electricity into the Magnus Gloves, Luis can now use it as an electromagnet to pull himself towards the ship.
'Let activate it' With that thought in mind, Luis raised his hands towards the cargo ship and used the electromagnetic force at full power.
"Woah!"
*Swoosh*
The next moment, he felt his arms being pulled by an extraordinary force, and he knew it worked. Fortunately, his powerful physique of a D-Rank prevented him from being torn by this force.
As he stood on the icy surfboard and strained against the wind, Luis surfed through the sea, propelled by the electromagnetic field generated by the gloves. He manoeuvred his trajectory, adjusting the polarity of the gloves' magnetism with precise hand gestures, guiding himself closer to the ship's side.
It didn't take long for him to close the gap between them. As he neared the vessel, the gloves' electromagnetism surged, intensifying the magnetic pull. With a jolt, Luis landed on the ship's hull, then deactivated the gloves, dispersing the magnetic field around it.
"Lily! Time?!"
{2 minutes 45 seconds left.}
"I need to hurry!"
The golden Luis immediately took his feet off the surfboard and the lightning currents around him intensified. "Navigate the fastest attack route for me, Lily!"
{As you wish Master! Enemy at four o'clock!}
*Boom*
Without wasting a breath, he shot a Thunder Bullet in that direction, defeating the trafficker. Then, with his fast speed, he started moving around the ship, defeating the enemies one by one. They were also looking for him, so his attack speed also became faster.
"So, they have found me," Luis said while paralyzing the enemy in front of him using Thunder snake.
{Not surprising given how dazzling Master is right now.} Lily's affirmative voice sounded in his earpiece.
*Sigh*
Luis nodded and sighed while defeating the trafficker in front of him before he could activate his magic. Then muttered in a depressed voice.
"It's so troublesome that I am so handsome. If only I were ugly like these traffickers. They wouldn't have found me so easily. I really envy them."
{…} Lily wanted to say that she was referring to his Thunder Coating spell being too high profile, but Luis didn't give her time for that, as his focus was now on casting more and more spells.
"Thunder Javelin!"
The trafficker who was called ugly by Luis was furious. He was ready to use his spell to attack him. However, Luis' attack came too fast even before he could respond, blasting half of his body.
*Boom! *
"Time?!"
{125 seconds and 7 enemies left!}
"Next direction?"
{Two enemies! Left, after two rows of containers!}
"Okay!"
Luis rushed at a fast speed, then jumped on top of the container, looking down on the traffickers. A smirk appeared on his face as he saw them waiting for his arrival, having prepared their spells ready to launch at him.
'Another two E-Ranks! Huh?!'
Until now, all the traffickers he had defeated inside the ship were E ranks. 'Well, they are all average E-Ranks, so even Alicia should have no problem dealing with all of them together easily.'
'Whatever, let's finish this fast!'
After thinking that, Luis raised the corner of his mouth.
"Are you waiting to welcome me? So sweet."
"WHAA?!" The traffickers hoisted their heads in surprise, then aimed their hands at Luis.
"Rock Bullet!"
"Water Bullet!"
Luis dodged their attacks with nimble movements and said with a smile.
"Although your welcome surprised me. I am kind of short on time, so I can't entertain myself here much longer. Here, take this as my token of appreciation."
When he said that, he shot two Thunder Javelins at them and waved them goodbye.
"See you guys later!"
*Boom! * (x2)
{Master, you are wasting time.}
"Hey, can't I have some fun? I have been too stressed and consumed a lot of my brain cells in the last few hours. Give me a break."
{… You have 95 seconds left.}
With Lily's navigation. Luis found two more enemies within a few seconds. This time, he didn't waste time with them and used his Thunder Snake to entwine them into paralysis.
{70 seconds…}
Luis hurried towards the bridge deck of the ship. Where he found two men waiting for him. One of them was an average muscular guy, and another one was a tall man with an enormous body.
'He is two heads taller than even me. Is he still human? Or maybe a side species of a giant? Whatever, let's finish them and find the last one.'
Just when Luis was about to attack, the tall man spoke in a deep voice.
"So, you are the intruder who has been creating chaos in my ship?"
Luis was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a serious expression. "No, I'm just an intern crew member of the ship."
His answer made their expression dark, and they both thought at the same time. 'At least come up with a plausible lie!'
The shorter man took a deep look at him and questioned. "What species are you? Your body shape is like a normal human. Is your body made of gold?"
Luis looked at the shorter trafficker with a strange expression. 'What's with your greedy expression? Do you think you can sell my body?'
A chill ran down Luis' spine and with a disgusted expression on his face, he shot a thunder javelin at him while also answering his query.
"I am a Formosus Human. The best kind!"
*Boom! *
The tall man couldn't react in time to save his subordinate, as Luis' attack was too fast.
'This guy… He is strong!'
He took a fighting stance, observing Luis with a cautious expression.
{50 seconds left.}
'Two left to go, huh? I can tell this guy is strong. Maybe he is also a D-Rank.' Luis thought with some excitement. This would be his first time fighting against another D-Rank.
"Rock Armor!"
The tall man created a rocky armor around him, increasing his attack and defense capabilities. Then he said in a deep voice.
"No matter what or whoever you are. I am going to crush you like an ant and throw you into the sea."
"Yeah, yeah, too much nonsense."
"What?"
His eyes widened in shock because, in the blink of an eye, Luis disappeared from his spot and appeared right in front of him with a golden fist covered in lightning. Of course, it wasn't Luis using his space abilities. His physical speed was already too fast.
Before the trafficker could snap out of his shock, the barrage of powerful punches with the intensity of lightning fell on him.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Bang*
The rocky defense on top of his body cracked a little by little, while the tall man couldn't even find an opening to counterattack. He found himself helpless, being on the constant receiving end of Luis' attacks.
*Thwack*
*Bham*
…
'What a great punching bag. Unfortunately, I don't have time to play,' Luis thought with a sigh as he remembered there was another trafficker to deal with after him.
"Lightning Whip!"
The rocky armor around the trafficker's neck was already crumbling, so Luis wrapped his Lightning Whip around his neck to paralyze him. However, he still wasn't down, so Luis shot a dozen Thunder Bullets at him until his enormous body slammed down, unconscious.
This fight was more like a one-sided beating, because even if they both were D-Rank. There was still quite some difference between an average D-Rank and someone like Luis, whose foundation and talent are too strong.
"Phew~"
Right when Luis exhaled a deep breath after confirming his enemy was indeed unconscious, Lily reminded him.
{Master 20 seconds left.}
"Oh, shit! Hurry, tell me! Where is the last one?!"
Just as Lily was about to answer him. A feminine voice sounded.
"Are you looking for me?"
Luis, who was already in a hurry to finish the task, turned around and shot a Thunder Bullet at that woman.
'Good thing she came here herself and saved some time.'
He thought in his mind, but then his eyes widened in surprise as that woman, without effort, flicked his thunder bullet with a wave of her hand.
*Boom* The Thunder Bullet exploded on the deck.
'This woman is powerful.' A solemn expression appeared on Luis' face as he looked at her. 'Is she the real boss of these traffickers?'
{Master, 15 seconds left.}
'I guess I won't be able to make it in time.' Luis sighed as he stopped thinking about the mission and focused on her.
"I am…"
"Thunder Javelin!" (x4)
*Whoosh* (x4)
The woman was about to say something but facing Luis' attacks, her eyes squinted, and she took a defensive stance, then easily deflected the Thunder Javelin with her martial arts.
Luis was shocked to see how easily she dealt with his attacks. 'She didn't dodge but deflected it! This isn't something even an average C-Rank can do! I've met a powerful enemy this time.'
While he was thinking, Lily's voice sounded, making him sigh in frustration.
{Master the time's up.}
