I created my own system

Chapter 174 Skill wise



"Owal move and tell everyone to never underestimate those mages"

"Argh.....yes I... Will!" Continue your adventure with empire

He said half shouted, then he raced towards the other side of the sewer drain, running as fast as he could.

"Let's cast a tracking spell on him just to be sure," I said seeing him leave.

"PANG!"

I suddenly felt a sudden pain when I felt that the spell I cast got disconnected as soon as I released it.

"Apologies but I can't let you do that" my enemy said his eyes still pinning on me.

[What the!]

My eyes suddenly constricted deeply focused on the blade that he just used to cut off my spell. The moment my spell is about to latch on his dear student he waves his sword and easily cuts through it. I felt amazed at the same time curious about how he was capable of that.

However, I can't let my desire for answers get the better of me. I need to set aside my thoughts and just focus.

"What a troublesome enemy" I can't help but say while my mana and ki began to combine. This is one of the unique features of the overhauled version of Master Weaponist. It unlocks the skill to combine the two energies inside the body, this skill or technique is called Primera or prime energy.

Executing this move created an intense dance of chaotic shock wave though my opponent was unfazed about the situation. Instead, his body is clad in an intense beat of aura. Its color was strangely dark red.

[His aura is induced with killing intent, be careful]

"Killing intent, right"

A huge explosion transpires when the color of my energy turns black.

"Bloodlust" he just said before disappearing.

[Left]

"No, it's right"

His energy displays a different movement making it deceiving.

"This guy, he figured it out how I was reading him" By reading the flow of his ki I can somehow predict my opponent's next move, but this guy figured it out. So he used it to confuse me and create a fake attack, fortunately, I was able to perceive it.

My sword met his, creating a huge shockwave that tore off the surrounding walls and pipes.

I remained focused and began calculating his next steps, this time no more spells, I couldn't cast them now because I couldn't focus with my enemy becoming as fast as my mind. I don't have any time to conjure a spell, even if I do he can just cut it off.

"BANG!"

The entire sewer drain turns into a huge crater when we finally clash, the previous sound of steel colliding turns into the sound of falling boulders uphill. While the air vibrated due to the tension rising.

The ceiling above us started to collapse however as soon as the debris started falling towards our position, the chaotic clash of our energy turned those boulders to dust. We began pushing each other's blades, and an intense collision of power transpired which created an earthquake underneath the city.

[Creator, should we activate Demonize again, his stats may be no different than yours but he is overpowering you]

"I can tell but don't do that, wait for my command"

[Affirmative]

I just want this feeling to last a bit more, the pressure, the complexity of my opponent, and the fact that the only thing that can decide the winner is how well we use our skills and techniques. I want to understand this power more, the skills I have and the capacity and weakness I might have. This fight will definitely help me learn the things I need to improve and the things I must disregard.

[But you must live first Creator, try your very best to survive]

"Of course I will!"

All the skills I have, I will put them in good use in this fight.

So let's do this

My decision was made and my will solidified causing my power to suddenly escalate in such a way I didn't notice. This sudden burst of power began to tilt the stalemate of our swords. However, my opponent has this grin that seem to like the thing he was seeing.

"That's it, boy, give me more!" he exclaimed while putting strength in his blade, the pushing continued and another round of colliding energy came resulting in a powerful force that shook the place. I held my ground, blade in hand while still locked with his. Neither side plans to be overpowered.

"A mage's driving force is their curiosity but for a warrior his driving force is his will, so boy show me your will!"

He burst such words before giving a swing that sent me flying. It surprised me but my body suddenly emitted a series of barriers making sure he wouldn't do a follow-up attack.

I felt my body crash at the walls before bursting to the other side of the sewer drain, then to the other and the next.

[How many walls have we passed through?]

"Don't know I lost count at ten"

I said before bursting an enormous amount of ki to stop my increasing momentum.

[He is coming!]

After stopping myself from hitting another wall I fix my form as I welcome my opponent.

With a swift movement a blade arches forward coated with a bloody aura. I move in accordance with his action and since I already anticipated his move I single-handedly block his blade.

My jaw suddenly clenches and my ears almost bleed when the sound of our sword clashing is more like roaring thunder during a storm. Despite this, I move to attack. I feinted an attack on his head then shifted my weight to strike his low midsection.

In response to this, he waved his blade in time to deflect my incoming blow, however, due to the length of his blade and unexpected attack from me it cut the floor with a loud screech. I took this chance and repositioned myself aiming for any opening.

I made a sudden thrust which he quickly responded to however my blade suddenly changed direction like a slippery eel, this movement is one of the techniques in rapier art.

As my sword dived into the unguarded chest my ki vibrated creating a ringing sound.

"BANG!"

An explosive sound burst revealing a smooth transparent surface.

"Damn it," I said while my eyes narrowed at the current situation of my blade.

I thought I got one hit in however when my blade was about to penetrate his protective aura, the blending of energy changed. The light that coats his body like a blanket morphs into a different color, it begins to solidify until it turns into a hand that holds my blade.

[It's armament!]

Aura burst forth transforming into a green protective barrier.

Shielding is one of the regular uses of Aura and Armament for the advanced type. Armament is meant to mold or coat any weapon the wielder desires, however, I never saw anyone build a literal warrior out of their aura armament.

I remain calm and with my blade stuck in the warrior's hand and my opponent about to attack, I have no choice but to abandon my sword.

"Change weapon"

I commanded and instead of a sword, a dagger replaced the space in my hand. That dagger was long, thick-spined, and wickedly pointed. Mainly optimized for penetrating or thrusting attack. Its hilt is made with unknown black material and a round or disc-like guard and pommel. This dagger is mainly good for parrying other weapons. Then the circulation of my energy changes to match the weapon I am using.

He attacked again but I used my weapon to continue deflecting his attacks.

I then lunge close, too close for the sword to reach me. My opponent then reacted quickly and bent his elbow to knock me over. However, I dodged that and my weapon changed again as soon as the warrior directed its attention towards me.

"What the" I heard him say when the dagger in my hand turns into a cannon.

"I'll blast that warrior," I said while my ki circulated inside my body and my mana powered my cannon. A series of lights glow at the surface of the weapon until a white light covers the area.

He can't dodge since I am in such close proximity with him, that left his warrior no choice but to put on a guard.

"BOOM!"

I blasted him out the same way he did on me but unlike him, I won't leave him be.

"Change weapon"

My hand glowed and a rifle graced my fingers, I locked on my target and fired a bullet.

"BANG!"

A gunshot was heard along with the sound of someone groaning. My bullet is capable of disrupting the energy inside the body so right now he is suffering from a great disorientation.

I took this chance and teleported in front of him, and immediately changed my weapon into a war hammer. With my opponent's state still in disarray, I aim for an overhead strike to destroy his remaining aura shield.

The energy started from my legs and hips, transferring through my core and shoulders into my arms, with the hammer's head coming down with gravity and force I added my prime energy to increase its power. In the nick of time, my opponent recovered but with the hammer already above him, he was left with a small amount of aura as his shield.
