Arena Chapter 134:
Chapter 134 – Heising (Part 2)
“Fucking son of a bitch!”
Enraged, the young man put all his might into leaping up towards me and punched .
Pa pa pa pa pat!
The wind daggers I sent at him were like a typhoon, but his punches were able to block them all as he approached .
However, this time, I flew up higher and dodged his attacks .
I just have to wait until his stamina runs out . Is there really even a need for me to fight against him?
“Scaredy cat! Come at me like a man!”
Screamed the young man .
“I don’t want to . ”
“Do you think you’ll benefit the longer you drag this out?”
“I do . ”
“You’re a dumb **** . ”
The man left me with those words before descending again .
Why did he call me dumb?
I soon realized why .
From the horde of pirate ships, the pirates had let down their boats and were rowing towards me .
I could safely assume the majority of those people were Chinese examinees .
The sailboat with Cha Ji-hye and Vincent on it was fleeing as well but the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller .
‘I see . ’
When the middle aged man had jumped ship and swam back to the fleet, he must have relayed an order for the examinees to come out .
The young man stepped off the surface of the water again and as he flew up towards me he said .
“Now are you interested in seeing this through?”
“Sure . Let’s really go at it this time . ”
I activated the Divine Protection of the Wind .
The Divine Protection of the Wind I mastered last time by investing all my karma in it!
I obtained a skill that caused my spirit summons ability to multiply by three .
The Divine Protection of the Wind could be used for 3 hours .
For three hours, I would become three times stronger .
I flew straight at the young man and punched .
The gust of wind hit him .
Puuung!
“Kuk!”
He easily blocked with both his arms which were covered in aura but the young man’s body was thrust backwards .
The young man looked actually surprised at the power of the wind .
‘Let’s do this!’
I crazily threw out double punches .
It was a copy of the young man’s Fānziquán style that he had shown several times .
With my reflex skill superior level 1, I was able to copy his movements pretty well .
As the gusts flew about like crazy, the surprised young man created a protective barrier around himself .
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa Kwang-!
Like hammering a nail, my punches pounded down on the young man’s protective aura barrier .
While continually being pushed back, with the barrier in place, the young man got pushed into the water .
‘Do you know how to swim? I’ll help you float!’
It was then when I was feeling cocky that…
Chwa a a a ak!
A water pillar came up and the young man shot up into the sky .
Surprisingly, the young man wasn’t wet at all .
‘Is that something possible with aura control too? Regardless, that is pretty incredible . ’
“Come at me!”
Shouted the young man as he came at me .
I too kept punching out wind gusts while using his Fānziquán technique .
And the young man threw out just as many aura punches against them .
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa Kwang-!!
As if an earthquake was occurring, the shock shook the world around us .
Within this battlefield that was basically in the middle of a hurricane, the young man held an advantage .
Surprisingly, the young man, while being attacked by my wind attacks, was inching his way closer to me .
‘How can he be doing this?’
Not only that, he’s not even on the ground, he was on top of the sea .
With waves under his feet, would it not be normal for him to be pushed back from the wind?
My question was quickly answered .
Upon close inspection, he wasn’t going head on against the gusts from the punches .
At the moment of contact, he was making some delicate adjustments and allowed the wind to flow past him .
Because of this, he had the ability to use aura in his feet to keep moving forward .
‘I don’t think we’ll see an end to this fighting if nothing changes . ’
I made up my mind different .
My spirit summons was at the superior level and my Divine Protection of the Wind was mastered too .
On top of that, the location was also beneficial to me is why I confidently tackled him head on . But of course, aura masters are strong .
‘No need to do it this way . ’
I left the young man and flew back towards the sailboat .
And I discontinued the synthesis with Sylph, she returned to her cat form and nestled herself around my neck .
“How is it?”
Asked Cha Ji-hye .
“He’s definitely strong . I didn’t think it would end the way it was going so I came back . ”
“The, the man is coming!”
Yelled Vincent .
The young man was rapidly racing across the top of the water towards us .
At that extraordinary sight, even the bold old fisherman couldn’t help but be surprised it seemed .
“We should run too . It’s going to start shaking severely so hold on tight to the boat . ”
Vincent and Cha Ji-hye grabbed ahold of the boat .
“Sylph!”
-Meow!
I gave Sylph an order through my mind and Sylph, having heard my thoughts, nodded her head .
Then,
Puuung!
With a blast, the sailboat soared forward .
An explosion at the rear of the boat from the force of the air almost caused us to fly away
Atop the shaking boat, Cha Ji-hye was holding on with one hand and the other hand was holding onto Vincent, who was about to fall out .
With my reflex skill, I was able to maintain my balance .
As the sailboat kept flying forwarding at a crazy pace, the distance between us and the young man was no longer decreasing .
“Weapon, AW50F . ”
I summoned the AW50F and shot at the young man . I shot recklessly and Sylph took care of the aiming for me .
Poo shook!!
The bullet bounced off the young man’s aura barrier . But thanks to that, his movement was stunted a little bit .
I kept shooting and the young man finally gave up his pursuit .
It seems he’s thinking that all the chasing will just use up his aura and stamina .
The sailboat we are in circumvented the pirate’s fleet in a half circle .
As we do, so I shoot the boats coming after us .
Of course, with the power of a large anti-material sniper rifle, every time I shoot, one of the boats would shatter and sink .
The examinees that knew some magic ignored the other boats and used defense magic to protect their own vessel .
I aimed for the boats without any defense magic and continued shooting .
‘This is just bait . ’
I was letting them know I’m specifically aiming for the boats .
And from that moment on, I aimed for the corrupt examinees holding spears .
Puk!
I could see the heads of the examinees being blow off through the scope .
‘Aha!’
I immediately reloaded and shot at another corrupt examinee .
Poo shook!
The next one too, their head exploded and they died instantly .
Only then did the corrupt examinees hurriedly lowered their bodies or raised their shields to defend themselves .
‘Good . ’
Every time I killed a corrupt examinee, I got karma .
I’ve killed two so I’m sure that’s a significant amount of karma .
Fighting like this, circumventing the group of pirates, I reached the rear of the fleet .
From where I was, I could see the corrupt examinees swimming away from the sinking boats .
I aimed for the swimming corrupt examinees and succeeded in killing 2 more .
In just a short while, I had gotten rid of 4!
In an attempted to avoid my sniping, the swimming examinees started swimming deep underwater .
The pirates were in chaos .
The enemy was just in a small sailboat but had sunk five boats and continued to destroy everything .
To me, it looks like the pirates are full of holes .
The corrupt examinees that can use magic are all out on the rowboats .
That was an obvious mistake for the pirates .
The pirate ships had no one left to defend them!
Poo shook-!
Kwa jik!
With two shots in succession the two masts of a pirate ship fell down .
As the two masts collapsed to the left, the ship itself severally tilted over to the side .
The sails dangling from their masts got wet from the water and the weight dragged the boat down even further . The pirate ship eventually began to take on water and started sink .
There was mass chaos from the pirates trying to escape and swim to other ships .
I sank 3 ships this way and the corrupt examinees all seemed to be returning to the ships .
‘That’s right, head back . ’
I was vying for another chance .
I could see the corrupt examinees, one by one, get back onto the pirate ships .
Among them, I aimed for the corrupt examinees that could use magic .
The moment they were on the rope ladder climbing up!
The moment they weren’t paying enough attention to use their defense magic .
Poo shook!
The magician’s head exploded and disappeared into the sea . The headless corpse hung on the ladder .
“Fuck-!!”
The yell rang out across the sea .
It’s that aura master I was fighting just no .
Filled with rage to the tips of his hair, the young man once again raced atop the water toward us .
‘Ek!’
I was surprised that he was going all out to chase us again . I thought he would reserve his stamina for now and watch .
‘I knew he was high up but seeing him this angry, he must be the leader of these pirates . ’
Strong enough to be an aura master, it made total sense that he would have such a position .
‘We should slowly start to make our escape . ’
I had sunk 9 ships and gotten rid of 5 corrupt examinees .
These results were much better than I was expecting .
But I’ve also used a lot of energy and spirit summon time so it was a good time for us to retreat .
I used Sylph to push our sailboat back towards the Deport harbor .
The young man must have been extremely **** off because he kept chasing us for quite a while but I kept him in check by shooting at him every so often . He eventually gave up and headed back .
After putting a bit of distance between us, I gave up on shooting at the fleet .
Then, Vincent grabbed the paddles .
As he rowed, he said .
“I’m confused as to whether I’m dreaming right now . You sank 9 of those treacherous pirate ships and fought against Heising, you weren’t pushed back even a little!”
“Heising?”
“Isn’t it a strange name? That’s the name of the pirate leader . ”
“That **** just now was the leader of the pirates?”
“Yes . He’s the person that gathered all the various pirate groups and created the current one we just fought against . In addition, he boasts the incredible fight skill – aura master . ”
“Heising you say……”
I thought about the young man with the piercings and the long hair .
For sure, he was a formidably strong opponent but not that scary of one .
Seeing how he handled today’s situation, I don’t think he has the sharpest strategic mind .
It seems he got the highest position solely by being the strongest .
‘Is this Heising that rival that Lee Chang-wee was talking about?’
He’s an aura master and personality wise didn’t seem to have a problem being under someone .
Not only that, he was in a position to lead the entirety of the pirates and corrupt examinees .
With that much power, it was enough for Lee Chang-wee to consider him a rival .
‘If I kill Heising in this round, I’ll just be helping Lee Chang-wee . ’
I thought about where Lee Chang-wee was .
The guider skill told me what direction he was in .
West .
That was the direction the pirate headquarters were in .
“Lee Chang-wee is at the pirate headquarters . ”
At my words, Cha Ji-hye nodded her head .
“It’s clear what he’s after . ”
“He’s waiting for Heising to take a hit . ”
Fish in troubled water .
If Heising had fought this battle with me and gotten injured?
There’s a big chance that Lee Chang-wee would straight up kill Heising when he returned to the headquarters .
Fighting me and getting exhausted or injured . If he wasn’t waiting for that, what would the reason be that he didn’t get involved in the fight and be at the pirate headquarters instead?
‘I saw Heising as having a hot temperament but it might be that Lee Chang-wee pushed him to do it and he attacked ahead of time . ’
At this point, it was impossible for me to not consider Lee Chang-wee’s involvement in this and what his plans were for the near future .
