Chapter 198: Executionary Brilliance!

Level 5 cave's last howling tomb.

Rin just entered, prepared to give her one touch to the fight.

The landscape was a hot desert of gleaming white-brown sand, and her enemy was a two-meter tall, slender, muscled humanoid with a spiky Scorpio tail and an exoskeleton covering its body.

The distance between the two of them was one kilometer. Too Short.

Rin narrowed her eyes. 'So, it's counter-type.'

The challenger was standing flawlessly, his back slightly arched and his scorpion tail beautifully yet dreadfully curved with a lethal sting.

Rin didn't waste time. She was prepared!

1 second into the battle.

Her figure faintly shone as she straightened her sharp katana, its blade whirling with dark red and blue lightning bolts.

Seeing the katana pointed at him, the scorpion-predetor's eyes ever so slightly narrowed.

2 seconds.

The air around it changed, and a faint aura spread out, turning into a domain.

Rin knew that this enemy would launch a powerful and swift counter, but the skill she was about to use wouldn't give it any chance.

Lighting permeated throughout her body. Her muscles and fibers stretched to the extreme as they were filled with power by exerting her stamina.

3 seconds.

Her hand that held her katana stretched backward as Rin took a side-standing stance, with her blade's tip still pointed towards her enemy.

And then, mana condensed into a formation that executed her skill while Spirit Force permeated her execution of skill, directly boosting it in every way.

3.5 seconds.

And then, she swung her blade just once with extreme precision and body movement that her one swing began a rapid spinning motion of her body.

The electricity buzzed and screamed around her as she literally looked like an extremely fast spinning top whirling with dark red lightning!

Of course, she still needed to refine it and improve it.

''Tsk, it still consumes more than I want. I need to optimize the formation and execution more."

Rin looked ahead at the spinning wheel and pulled the lever, a grin on her face as she looked at the spin because it was the one that gave her the inspiration to create this skill.

After a few seconds, Rin pulled the lever again as the spinning wheel started slowly down before finally stopping.

[Congratulations! You got a random talent catalyzation.]

A moment after that, Rin suddenly felt weird inside her, feeling numb yet hollowly cold!

''What's going on?!''

Just like Erix, her Talent Catalyzation began.

...

On the other hand, Erix faced his challenger, the same Scorpio-tail humanoid with an exotic exoskeleton covering its body.

Erix was five kilometers away from his enemy, and no matter what his enemy did, he would maintain his distance while blasting it hard with his Mayhem Blaster Form!

With an exotic slender metallic suit covering Erix's body with two giant metallic gauntlets on his hands as a stark contrast to the rest of the form, Erix was an avatar of machine-gun Gatling punches as 1-meter long punch projectiles entered through wormholes and bombarded his enemy!

Whirling Punch 2.0 projectiles, Sling Shot Punch 2.0 projectiles, Imposing Shock Fist projectiles!

This form utilized his 2nd realm of Punch concept to his best, but Erix still felt he could go a step beyond and utilize his 2nd realm punch concept's power more.
