Chapter 260 Arner, The Child of Thunder... Part-3.

VVIP Area.

"That un-dodge-able attack technique... Isn't that a very rare technique in your race, Baneas?..."

Upon hearing Ashtel's confused words, Baneas Oreforge, the representative of the Dwarf race, nodded his head and responded in a proud tone.

"Well, that technique is actually very difficult to learn. First of all, not only do you need amazing intuition and thunder affinity, you will also need to reach rank-A to even start using this ability..."

Baneas paused for a moment before continuing,

"In the past century, none were able to master this ability, as the comprehension capability required to master it is very high... All in all, this technique is useless in the hands of untalented people..."

While saying that, Baneas glanced at Arner and continued with a smile on his face.

"But in the hands of the talented, this ability has great potential..."

Hearing Baneas's words, Ashtel and Ryul both nodded their heads. They both knew about this secret technique, but this was the first time they were seeing it in person.

Ashtel narrowed his eyes and spoke in a tone of amusement.

"Hmm... this technique is able to involve a 'law' in itself, which is indeed impressive... This kid, Arner, has the potential to reach rank SS in the future..."

Ryul quickly recognized the technique and spoke in a calm tone.

"To be able to control the power of a 'law' at such a young age... Arner is indeed talented; you guys better not waste his potential."

Baneas scratched the back of his neck at their words, feeling quite embarrassed.

As an early-level SS-ranker, he is significantly weaker than Ashtel and Ryul, so Arner's ability to receive praise from the renowned "Ashtel Rex" is truly remarkable and a source of great pride for the Dwarf race.

"You praise him too much; in my opinion, Rio Flash has a better grasp over the 'law' of 'Sword Intent'; I am not sure if this attack will even succeed..."

Ryul responded calmly, shaking his head at Banea's words.

"No, the 'law' that Arner has involved is affecting the whole battle field; unless Rio smashes the whole battlefield with his'sword intent', the damage from Arner's attack will not be reduced much..."

While thinking about this, a smirk appeared on Ryul's face as he continued,

"This kid, Arner, planned out everything quite well; he also took Rio's sword intent into consideration! That's why he used so much mana to cover the entire stadium ground in his 'static field'...."

Even Ashtel nodded his head at that.

"A genius move indeed; even Rio is bound to face some trouble now..."Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

There are very few people who can involve the world's 'laws' in their attacks.

Some use secret techniques to achieve this, and some uses 'Sword intent' or other equivalent skills to achieve this.

In his attack, Arner invoked the 'law of confinement'.

He enhanced his technique's damage by sacrificing its confinement power.

Arner didn't have to worry about Rio escaping because a massive SS-rank barrier surrounded the stadium.

Thus, he reduced the confinement power of his 'static field' to near 'zero', and thus his attack's damage improved accordingly.

Now, unless Rio smashed the whole stadium ground with the whole 'static field', he can't dodge this attack.

This is the horror of an attack that involves a "law."

Most awakeners choose not to bother with those who can control 'laws' because they don't want to become involved in such troublesome attacks.

...

Seeing that Rio had stopped moving, a smirk appeared on Arner's face.

'So you have realized that you can't stop this attack anymore... Even if I faint or die, this attack will still not stop, so it's pointless to attack me right now, and it's better to put up defenses...'

The smile on Arner's face widens as he thinks to himself.

'But it's pointless; even if you try to defend with sword intent, this attack will continue till it hits you directly...'

In the excited eyes of Arner, the whole static field became bright, showing that it was finally ready to be used.

"This is it, Rio!"

[Secret Dwarven Art: Unstoppable Bane of the Thunder God!]

"What the f*ck just happened? Did I see something wrong? Why does it seem like Rio didn't even do anything to avoid that attack, and the attack got deflected on its own?"

As an SS-ranker, Ryul noticed more details than the rest of the audience; he saw everything happen in extreme slow-motion, which is why he was super confused at the moment.

But even Ashtel had no answer to Ryul's question.

"Uh.... well, even I don't know what just happened... This is the first time I have ever seen someone dodge a 'law-infused' attack with such ease..."

The SS-rankers observed that Rio remained motionless.

Just when the attack launched, he used his 'movement arts' to stand beside Arner, and the 'un-dodge-able' attack stopped pursuing him for some reason, as if it had lost the target.

But this shouldn't have been possible in the first place; the attack was 'infused' with a 'law', and if Rio had tried to dodge it, the attack would have followed him all around the battlefield.

However, after activation, the attack ceased to pursue Rio for an unknown reason.

None of the SS-rankers had any idea what just happened, as even they hadn't seen this kind of situation.

The only person who knew about the real situation was Rio himself.

...

Waiting Area.

As Rio entered his waiting room, he glanced at the notification panel of his status window.

[Ding! An abnormal threat was detected!]

[Ding! 'True Immunity' has been triggered!]

[Ding! You are immune to the 'indefinite tracking' ability!]

Rio shook his head and closed his status panel.

'This skill is too broken; it activates on random occasions, and even I don't know when it will activate...'

Rio was actually about to use his shadow robe to counter that attack, but even he didn't anticipate that Arner's technique's "un-dodge-able" property might trigger 'true immunity'.

Even Ashtel and others couldn't figure out what happened because 'true immunity' can negate the perception of SS-

rankers as well.

Rio became 'invisible' to the static field's tracking ability once 'True Immunity' activated.

Thus, he simply walked out of the attack range and watched it all without any care in the world.

Rio can deactivate this skill if he wishes to, but he can't activate it at his will, it's a passive ability that works on its own. (He deactivated it when he fell into Marik's illusion...)

While shaking his head, Rio walked over to the mirror, and as he looked at himself, a thought came to his mind.

'I was planning on having a proper fight... but it seems this one was really one-sided...'

From the start of the duel to the end, Rio didn't suffer a single wound; this was a great disappointment in his opinion, but he still respected Arner's determination.

'Forget it; let's see if the next opponent can do better than this...'

Author's Note.

Yo! It's your beloved author here.

It kind of feels like Rio has lost the feeling of excitement that he used to have when fighting... Now he has become even more 'empty' than ever before....

Question of the day:.

Do you also think that Rio is a straight up menace?

1. Yes (Bro literally stood beside the attacker to appreciate the attack like it was nothing...)

2. Yeah (His unamused behavior in all situations makes him seem like a villain type character...)
