Chapter 93 Mock Battle [Part 4]



With the approaching four sword slashes, the other swordsmans acted quickly and got out of the radius of the attack.

However, Mathias was unable to react quickly and ended up getting caught up in the attack. The same could be said about Elmkelm; although he was a mage, he fought in close proximity, which was his fighting style.

His physique was also a bit lacking compared to others, so he couldn't dodge the four sword slashes and got caught up too.

Hawkin saw this and could not react for some time, feeling perplexed about what was happening. When he came back to his senses, before he could block the attack for them.

Both of them got sent flying, and finally their bodies were slammed to the ground. Severe injuries could be seen on both of their bodies.

Although they were still alive, they were both in such a pitiful state.

On the other hand, when the four sword slashes approached Hawkin, he condensed twelve halos of fire, and three halos were sent to each sword slash. As the attack sent by Hawkin got close to the sword slashes, he watched as it all diminished and desintegrated.

"What is this?!" Hawkin exclaimed as he examined the attack and found that, other than lightning, it had the properties of ice, which was the reason for the halo of fire to be distinguished.

The four slashes then landed on Hawkin, who parried them with both hands.

This attack was none other than Zen activating his domain, the Tempest of Blades. Just as Hawkin was blocking the attack sent by him, Zen shot a ball of lightning towards him. Relentlessly spamming it without care, like he had unlimited mana,

Hawkin frowned and found this unbelievable, as it did not seem like Zen was an Advanced Rank.

His spectulation was indeed a bit true, because Zen was rewarded by the system and his mana pool had reached the level of a Great Rank mage. So he was able to willingly spam this skill.

With all the balls of lightning being sent towards Hawkin. He quickly used a bit more of his mana to enhance his hands and destroy the four sword slashes.

After that, he dodged all the magic projectiles at breakneck speed. Even though he was doing remarkable dodging, there were far too many of them, and so he got hit by one and was stunned, which rendered him unable to move for a moment.

This was enough time for Zen to pull off another attack and successfully land it. He activated his skill, triple thrust, which was aimed at Hawkin.

First thrust, second thrust, but then as the third thrust, which was the one that could cause critical damage, was about to land. Hawkin was able to escape the entrapment using his mana to enhance his physique and got out of it.

"Hmm, I guess that was not enough." Zen muttered while he got ready to attack Hawkin again.

As Hawkin thought it was over, Zen leaped towards him, this time using the skill Defiant Sword. In an instant, he appeared behind Hawkin and slashed at him.

Hawkin sensed this, and he jumped up, dodging Zen's skill, but he didn't expect that the slash would still reach him.

He was then forced back a little due to the force of the slash.

Hawkin laughed inwardly, 'Aiya, this kid is not even giving me a chance. Hahahha. He is giving me quite a bit of a hard time.'

'Last time I saw this kid, he was not this strong. How does he do it?'

While he was busy with his thoughts, Zen stood back up straight and looked at Hawkin. 'My attacks are not landing at all... Anyway, I should use this Hawkin as a practice partner and practice all my skills. I haven't fought someone stronger than me in a long time.'

With that, he shouted, "Be careful, professor; I am coming at you seriously this time."

Hawkin smiled "Ok! Come, come, let's see what you really are made of," he responded.

Zen grinned, and he then activated the skills he had devoured at the same time. Dragonic Enchancement, Physical Enhancement: Additionally, he activated the earring artifact he was wearing, and his senses were enhanced by two times.

The Dragonic Enhancement skill also recovered part of the mana he had used up earlier, meaning he could activate his domain a second time.

He also used both his mana and aura to enhance his physique, to which then a double layer made up of blue light and white light enveloped his body.

Leveraging these skills, Zen experienced a fourfold increase in strength compared to his prior state.

And so both Zen and Hawkin fought, exchanging moves one after the other. They ended up ignoring both Mathias and Elmkelm, who were seriously injured.

The other members of Zen's group all stayed out of the battle, as this was no longer something they could possibly join in. They might even get killed if they accidentally get closed.

Anastasia called some people over who went to help Mathias and Elmkelm stand back up, and she had them sent to the infirmary.

"This... Why did Zen just do that." J-Lo spoke, asking Anastasia beside her as she looked at Elmkelm and Mathias, who were being taken away.

Anastasia ignored her, and her attention was focused on the battle between Zen and Hawkin.

All people on the sidelines momentarily stopped what they were all doing; even the people who were doing their own mock battle watched this scene in astonishment.n0velusb.c0M

"What the hell? The rumors said that Zenryx Raverdieu was very powerful, but not to this extent!"

"How did he do it? He already has such a perfect appearance, but he is also so strong. This world is unfair!"

Edward, Eliza, and Crystal were also watching the battle closely. At first, Edward saw Zen activating his domain, which ended up hurting Zen's own team members. That immediately infuriated him, but eventually he calmed down and watched the battle seriously.

Watching this battle, Edward felt powerless. If that were him battling Zen, would he even have a chance to get close?

There was no way he would be able to emerge victorious, let alone even last a few moves against him before he gets defeated.

'It seems like he was showing mercy to me back at the Mevouires territory." Edward thought and felt confused. Although he felt like Zen should be his enemy, he couldn't help but rethink it.

If Zen was able to hear his thoughts, he would probably uncontrollably laugh and say something like, "Huh?! Mercy? That word does not exist in my dictionary. If it weren't for the system telling me there were consequences, then I would have killed you long ago!"

The three elders who were on top of the arena were also watching the battle unfold excitedly.

"Now this is what I am talking about!" Silvanna exclaimed, a broad grin appearing on her face.

"Mhm, this Zenryx is actually so powerful. Even if Hawkin's current power was suppressed to a Great Rank, he is still a magister. He is actually getting pushed around!" Navarre analyzed.

On the other hand, Folmon spoke as he rubbed his chin, thinking about the situation: "But why did he choose to attack suddenly while those fellow members of his were attacking? They ended up getting injured as a result."
