Chapter 127 Training 2
As both their figures blurred, Atticus observed slowly as robot Magnus appeared in the air, his spear crackling with intensified lightning, coalescing at the tip. n//o--v/)e/-l--b.(I//n
Suddenly, streaks of lightning shot from the spear's tip, slicing through the air with deadly precision and hurtling toward Atticus at extraordinary speed.
Simultaneously, robot Avalon materialized a few meters to Atticus's right. Fists ablaze with intense fire, the robot unleashed a relentless barrage of punches.
Each fiery fist rocketed toward Atticus, closing the distance at breakneck speed. Just as it seemed the barrage was about to connect, Atticus's figure vanished from their view, reappearing in the blink of an eye directly above robot Magnus in the air.
He infused his leg with a dense surge of mana, coiling it back for maximum impact. With all his gathered momentum, he executed a thunderous kick aimed squarely at the robot's head.
The impact was like a resounding clap of thunder, deforming the robot's head and sending it hurtling through the air. Atticus's forceful kick slammed robot Magnus into robot Avalon, both robos crashing violently onto the ground.
Before they could grasp what had just occurred, Atticus landed on the floor, immediately focusing on the earth element.
With a swift gesture, a sharp earthen spike erupted from the ground right beneath the fallen robots. The spike impaled both figures and left them suspended in the air, helpless.
His training method was simple: fight against very strong opponents with diverse bloodlines. They would make him strain himself and gain experience battling different types of opponents with different powers.
Atticus walked to the panel on the wall and selected the data for both Magnus and Avalon at the Expert rank.
He decided to continue fighting them for now because he wanted to get used to the strength of expert ranks before battling others with different bloodlines.
Immediately, the forms of both robots got up and walked over to the platform, which then lit up with a bright glow. New Liquid Metal came out from below and enveloped their forms. After a few seconds, new, larger forms of both Avalon and Magnus, radiating a more formidable aura, were formed. They both got down from the platform and walked over to stand on one end of the stage, unmoving.
Atticus walked to the other end of the stage. This time, he decided to take this seriously from the start. He unsheathed his katana, intensifying his perception to its maximum level, determined not to miss even the slightest hint of the robots' movements.
Releasing rapid bursts, he dashed towards the robots. However, not having even moved for a few meters, Atticus's eyes widened, and with a burst of agility, he quickly veered to the right, narrowly avoiding a blazing fire punch that surged through the space he had just occupied moments before.
Before he could even catch his breath, another fiery punch followed, prompting Atticus to dart to the left, and then another, and another, forcing him to keep on dodging constantly.
Before he could even think about how to get out of this, clouds suddenly formed in the sky, and lightning instantaneously descended from the clouds at fast speed towards Atticus. He acted immediately, once again darting to the side, evading the strike.
Atticus's perception was operating at full throttle as he continued to evade the lightning strikes and fire shaped punches relentlessly targeting him. He unleashed rapid bursts one after the other, dashing from side to side with beads of sweat forming on his forehead, while both robots hadn't even moved one bit from their initial position.
Robot Magnus remained unmoving, lightning cracking around his body as he simply controlled streaks of lightning to descend on him, while Avalon's figure blurred, releasing punch after punch with an almost eerie precision, yet not shifting an inch from its starting point.
