Book 2: Chapter 10 (2/10)

“What is with this guy? How can he see me in my invisible mode too?” Iviss asked herself as she activated her [Recovery] ability. Because [Recovery] wasn’t a magic spell but an ability, it wasn’t against the rules for this battle.

Kain wouldn’t allow his opponent to have a chance to recover, he continuously attacked furiously giving Iviss no time to halt. Iviss activated [Ghost Mode] to completely hide her presence like she was no longer there momentarily. The bad thing about [Ghost Mode] is that Iviss won’t be able to breathe when using this ability. Notwithstanding, Iviss can hold her breath for up to five minutes. Right now she needed to get out of the danger zone as fast as she could before deactivating this ability to prevent her from suffocating to death.

“Ah, nice trick. I can no longer sense your presence anymore.” Kain smiled and said out loud.

It only took Iviss twenty seconds for her right leg to fully recover. However, Iviss decided to continue using [Ghost Mode] to further seal her presence from being exposed to Kain as she thought, “His legs are too powerful. I should stick to using weapons instead.”

Iviss activated [Invasion] to temporarily improve her evasion rates to two hundred percent (200%) then charged toward Kain as she deactivated [Ghost Mode]. Kain smirked and taunted, “Using such a weak Saint-tier Warrior skill with the intent of defeating me? Such laughable.”

Iviss ignored Kain’s taunt and continued to remain silent while activating [Acceleration] ability to improve her movement speed to 200%. Not stopping there, Iviss activated [Empower] skill to temporarily magnify her strength to two hundred percent (200%) as well when she got closer to Kain.

Kain threw his Ice Spear skyward using the strength of his right hand before flying up high following it. This forced Iviss to jump up high to catch up to him. Kain changed from flying upward to flying downward toward Iviss as he was activating a Saint Warrior ability that he had created named [Sun Flash]. Kain’s right leg collided with Iviss’s daggers at full force as he continued to push her downward. Then a very bright light aura released from Kain as he activated [Sun Flash] forcing Iviss to close her eyes for two seconds. Iviss could feel her face and all parts of her body were being punched and kicked repeatedly by Kain's fists and legs. Iviss managed to block some of them but even so, her body received great damages.

By the time Iviss opened her eyes again, she saw Kain was throwing a mighty blow using his right fist toward her. Iviss immediately used her daggers to block that punch but it was too strong and continued to push Iviss falling down toward the ground. Kain then threw a powerful kick using his left leg forcing Iviss to use her right arm to block it. Iviss could feel many parts of her body were broken. Despite that, Iviss knew that she can heal all of those injuries in less than twenty seconds so it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Huh? Why isn't he chasing after me?" Iviss was falling from mid-air, this would be a perfect opportunity for Kain to attack. Iviss was wondering why Kain just remained flying in the sky instead of continuing to attack her. By the time Iviss realized Kain's strategy, it was too late as the Diamond Ice Spear penetrated her back from behind and flew back into Kain's hand. Right before Iviss landed on the ground, Kain threw his Ice Spear toward her head. Iviss could see the Ice Spear was flying down at a very fast speed, but she could no longer use her right arm due to the heavy injuries she received. Iviss sacrificed her left arm to block the Ice Spear knowing it would penetrate through her arm but hoping it wouldn't touch her head.

"Phew... that was scary. I almost died from that. He released a bright light aura to make me close my eyes then continued to attack me using fists and legs to get me distracted from reminiscing about his spear. That wasn’t a bad tactic, but it won’t work on me again. I will recover my injuries then show you my true power." Iviss felt relief as the Ice Spear only penetrated through six inches of her arm and stopped as it slightly touched her forehead.

Too bad for Iviss for she has no second chance, Kain has predicted this will happen as he flew down right after throwing the Ice Spear at her. At the moment Iviss was feeling relief, Kain heavily slammed his right feet onto the Ice Spear. The Ice Spear then penetrated deeper through Iviss's left arm and didn't stop until it pierced fully through her skull. Needless to say, the battle between Kain and Iviss was over.

“What was that just now? How can he release a bright aura without using magic? Is it an ability or a skill? How can this be? A Saint Warrior who can create new abilities? That isn’t logical. Only God-tier Warriors can create new abilities and skills for themselves...” The crowd started whispering to each other after seeing Kain successfully created a Warrior ability.

“Kain Bersk has won this battle!” The loud voice said as half of the crowd cheered out loud.

Kain shook his head and thought, “If Iviss knew that I have a unique ability such as [Sun Flash], she wouldn’t lose that easy. Regardless, I am still the winner as always.”

A Watcher stood up and said, “You are cheating! As an Eleventh Stage Saint Warrior, you don't have access to create new Warrior abilities. There must be a Watcher who has taught you that ability. This is unfair!”

Kain had no idea who that Watcher is, but he put on his [I don’t give a F*ck mode] and asked, “Who said Saint Warrior can’t create new abilities?”

“This is how warriors were created. Only Saint Mages can create new magic spells. Saint Warriors can't have access to create new skills and abilities for their classes until they reach God-tiers.”

“So?”

“So it’s not logical for a Saint Warrior such as yourself to be able to create new abilities.”

“Logical? Do you want to know what I think about your logic? I wiped your logic with my ass.”

“How dare you? Such disrespect!”

"Here we go... same old bullshit 'how dare you' crap. Watcher, what planets are you watching over?”

“I am Regin, the Watcher of Eastmont Continents.”

“If I ever have a chance to enter Eastmont Continents, I promise you that I will massacre everyone there and lay ruins to that planet. By that way you can be a Watcher of a dead planet.” Kain widely smiled after he said that.

“You!” Regin stared at Kain while pointing his right index finger at him.

“Why are you arguing with a human? You are a Watcher, so act like one. If you want to be a human that bad, resign your position.” Watcher Tykan yelled at Watcher Regin for stepping out of line by arguing with a human.

The world of Eastmont Continents is just a small planet, much smaller if compared to Norelf Continents and Toria Continents. Watcher Regin is just one of the weak Watchers who only have a planet to watch over. When a powerful Watcher such as Tykan told him to shut the f**k up in a nice way, he wouldn’t dare to argue back.
