Chapter 507: Fighting Merasi
Ning looked at Merasi, with her full clad armor and dashed.
His body had no strength aside from the slight physical empowerment that
everyone got with their increase in Aether rank.
At best, he was at maybe Level 2 of body cultivation, which would be equal to
the 2nd realm of Qi condensation on Kumia.
Still, it helped him enough to enhance his speed to the point where Merasi
could barely put up her to protect herself.
BAM
A rather loud sound rang from the sta hitting the side of her right gauntlet.
Aether stirred inside Ning, trying to do something, but failed.
In the same way, a world with Qi would allow for intents add to the damage of
one's strike, the Aether tried to do the same and failed.
It was understandable. Aether wasn't Qi.
Merasi tried to punch with her left arm, but Ning slipped back. One thing he
knew about ghting someone bigger than him was that he couldn't let them get
close.
Once he was back, and Merasi was somewhat o-balance, he dashed back in.
He wanted to use the sta like a spear, but without the spearhead, it was a little
hard to do.
So, Ning used one technique he knew that used the spear as a sta. The
Revolving Spear technique.
He dashed back in to close the gaps and swung to her left side now. Merasi
decided to go on the attack, not bothering to block at all.
When Ning slammed her left shoulder, she felt a slight force pass through her
armor, but there was no pain at all. She barely even felt the force.
She then swung her right arm at Ning. Ning brought back his sta, while at the
same time spinning around the incoming st, barely dodging it.
At the same time, he brought the sta to hit her right shoulder. Aether stirred
within him once more as that was what the technique demanded, a power
source.
But Aether couldn't provide it. So, the power compounding eect of the
Revolving spear technique was nowhere to be seen.
However, what did remain was its ability to gather momentum.
Ning spun the sta once again and hit Merasi's left shoulder, barely dodging
the incoming left arm.
Then, he brought it back around and jumped as a swooping right foot came to
attack his leg.
At the same time, Ning accurately turned around, using all of his momentum to
swing his sta one last time and hit Merasi in the head.
The hit sounded like a gong in her head. The force of the impact, the sound is
produced and the position she was already in, all came together to make her
dizzy enough into falling to the ground.
Ning propped the sta on his shoulder and looked at her, struggling to get up.
"Did I knock your head around too hard?" he asked.
Waxil and the surrounding crowd looked with shock. They had thought the big
woman would win, but somehow, she had been beaten to the ground like she
was a punching bag.
Not a single of her hit managed to land on the young man in front of her.
Merasi shook her head. He had knocked her head so hard that her brain had
likely dislodged from its place for a moment or two.
Her blurry vision came back to focus and she nally stood up.
"You're not bad," she said. She felt a little disappointed in herself when she
said that.
Ning looked like he had half his body weight, but somehow he had hit her hard
into dropping to the ground.
"Can you continue?" Ning asked.
"Of course," Merasi said as she stood up once more.
"You can attack this time," Ning said, his sta unmoving from his shoulders.
Merasi felt a little angry, but she didn't contradict him. She was happy to get
the chance to attack rst.
She dashed forward with incredible speed, despite the amount of metal
covering her body.
Ning dodged to the side, his sta moving to hit her stomach area. Then he
dodged another attack to dash backward, out of her range.
She followed him, trying to catch him, but she couldn't. Ning weaved in and out
of her range, attacking each time he did, like a mouse ghting an Aether beast.
Merasi felt like she was signicantly slowed down by her armor, but that was
the only thing keeping her from taking a lot of damage.
Now that she was backing out of the ghts when Ning was gaining momentum
as well, she didn't take the same damage as she had earlier with the rst bout.
Ning frowned. With Merasi realizing what not to do, his chances of winning had
signicantly lowered.
'Well, time to win by another method,' he thought and propped up his sta
again.
He pointed it directly forward and charged at her. Merasi put her left arm in
guard while punching with her right arm.
However, unexpectedly, Ning didn't attack her. Instead, he threw his spear at
her visor.
'Does he want to block my vision? Why get rid of his weapon?' Merasi
wondered, but not for long.
Her left arm mored slightly and grabbed the sta. Then... she felt her arm go
numb.
Her left arm had grabbed the sta, but she couldn't feel her right arm. It was
like a shock went through her entire right arm, and now she didn't even know if
it was attached to her.
She put down her left arm and looked at her right arm in front of her only to
nd it dangling beside her without any control
She wanted to move it, but all she felt were pinpricks suddenly appearing all
over her right arm.
"Don't worry," Ning said with a friendly smile from a bit far back. He had
moved back there at some point. "The nerve will heal itself in about 5 minutes."
"What did you do to my arm?" Merasi demanded.
Ning's smile widened. "The same thing I'm going to do to the rest of your
body."
