Chapter 573: Fighting the Other Divine Vision User

Every day is the same. But every day, I grew stronger.

In the morning after breakfast, I enter the testing ground. And then, I took the test and defeat my opponents. I got some break in between the test for lunch, and I return to the test again after that. And after I feel tired, I return home, had dinner, and get some sleep. In the morning, I return to the testing ground again.

It may feels like a routine. But the fight has never been the same.

I fought a swordsman with a sword. I fought an archer with my gun. I fought a spear user with Reizpear.

This is also for my training. So, I always face my opponent with the same weapon that they use with the Blobbies or Victoria that I transformed into weapons. Except for archer since using a gun is easier.

I had asked some people about the mission to retrieve the ancient Aura users’ weapons that they used to have. But unfortunately, none of them were found. Nothing at all.

Some were still there, but since it has been a long time without maintenance, those weapons were too rusty and there’s no more magic in it. They were useless.

.....

Well, they haven’t searched for everything. I can only hope that there’s a weapon that they found with a good condition at least.

Though if there are any, I think they would be similar to Reizpear. A self-repairing magic weapon. Which I don’t need them since I have Victoria and Reizpear already. Though maybe I can lend them to someone. Even though the person I gave the weapon to won’t be an Aura user, it should be helpful for fighting close combat.

Maybe I should just give Reizpear to Graham. He’s also a spear user.

But he has no Aura, and his spear is already stronger than Reizpear. It would be useless.

The only good thing about Reizpear is its self-repairing magic. It’s weak. And it only became strong when I infuse my Aura with it. That’s why I need to find stronger weapons. Though I have Victoria, so I need magical weapons.

I was lucky that I found Reizpear in the store back then. But I haven’t found any other weapons since then. What a shame.

Anyway, back to testing ground. It has been a month since the test began, and there aren’t many ancient Aura users left.

And right now, I’m currently facing a sword-wielding Aura users. He has reached expert level in wind magic, so we fought in the air.

This place is very large, so we can move around freely. Unlike when I fought Shadow, there’s no maze here.

The most difficult thing about fighting him is that he’s a better wind mage than my friends. With the exception of one wind master level mage among the five ancient Aura users who have reached master level in their magic. He also gave a lot of guidance to Veronica, Shirley, and our wind mages group. Though I don’t know very much about him.

While I can give a flying slash that can reach long distance, his flying slash is stronger and can reach even further because of his wind magic. But now that my Divine Vision has leveled up thanks to Mind’s Eye, I can predict his move and make a counter.

But it took a long time until I finally get a hit. And that’s when I started winning.

“Congratulation again, Roy. Now, you only have ten opponents left. What will you do?” Timmy asked.

“I’ll take a rest today. That was a long match and I need to think back about it. I made a lot of mistakes that I need to fix before fighting the rest,” I said.

Nowadays, I can no longer fight multiple battle in one day. I wasn’t tired. I was just in need to improve myself. And I need the time for it. So, after fighting, I return back home to try and fix my mistakes in battle.

Ten opponents left. So, it should be around ten days before I could fight Timmy. But these ten should be the strongest.

With Mona and Bearded Baldy, and also the five master level mages, it won’t be easy. And There are three other ancient Aura users that I don’t know about. Though I don’t think they are master level mages, they should be strong.

The next day, I returned again to the testing ground. This time, my opponent is Mona. The other Divine Vision user who have taught me hoe to improve my vision.

“Well, here I am. It’s obvious who will be the winner, right?” Mona asked.

“Yeah. The one who can read ahead the others,” I replied.

We both have Divine Vision and Mind’s Eye. And since I will only use a battle axe like she is, the only way to win is to read further ahead than her.

If I want to, I can win easily by using other weapon. But I choose not to and face her with an axe just like her. At least for now.

The two of us just stand there in the ground facing each other without making a move. We can’t make a single mistake here.

But I’m not that patient. So, I used brute force right away.

I charged at her while raising my axe high, and swung it down. I also checked which way she would dodge, but instead of dodging, she blocked my axe. Which is unexpected since she should have seen it coming and prepare for counter.

The reason she picked an axe is because of her Divine Vision. As long as she can read her opponent’s attack, she could just dodge them and counter it with her axe. And since it was a heavy weapon, it’s difficult for anyone to stop her counter.

But this time, she’s just blocking my attack. So, I just put more strength on my axe.

Turns out, that was a mistake. As I put more weight on my attack, she let go of her axe and punched my chest. That must be what she was planning.

Her punch was so strong that it broke my ribs. But I didn’t go down without a fight.

As her fist get closer, at the same time her fist hit my chest, I raised my knee and broke her arm.

Some ribs for an arm. And because Timmy wanted the zombies to be as human as possible for the test, she can’t recover instantly like before.

With her arm broken, she couldn’t wield her axe normally again. But I can’t let my guard down.

She’s someone with Divine Vision. There’s no way that she didn’t see my knee coming. So, she received that attack intentionally. Just to break my ribs.

While she couldn’t lift her axe normally again with both hands, she can still raise her axe with her other hand. But for me, it’s getting harder to breathe normally. So, I used air magic in my lungs directly.

“I guess I can’t take advantage of your broken ribs. You’re an air mage who can use magic to breathe,” Mona said.

“But it’s still painful. I can’t make any big move with these ribs,” I replied.

I guess that’s her goal. But that doesn’t mean I can’t defeat her with small moves. And although I faced my opponents with the weapons they were good at, I never make any promise that I will continue that way.

But for now, let’s continue with just axe and martial arts.

My chest is hurting me, but there’s no real problem so far. And our exchanges continued.

This time, we both dodged each other’s attack with only small movements. But one thing I have advantage over her is my ostrich’s footwork. Somehow, even with her Divine Vision, it’s still unpredictable.

“That damn footwork is annoying!” Mona shouted in the middle of the fight.

“But it’s working!”

Before she could get used to my footwork, I need to defeat her. I can’t make a big move, so I keep attacking her with combination attacks.

Finally, her defense broke down and I swung down my axe. Cutting her from her right shoulder down to the left side of her waist.

“That was good... I lost... Good luck with destroying the cult,” Mona said before she died and turned into dust.

Another one died. And she’s also the closest one to me because of our similarities. Thanks to her, I learned a lot.

“Congratulation again, Roy. I guess you need to rest because of your ribs. Return once you’re healed. And your next opponent will be... him,” Timmy said as he pointed his finger at Bearded Baldy.

“Now that I think about it, is there no one here knows my name?” Bearded Baldy asked.

“Nope. I called you as Bearded Baldy,” I said.

“Sigh... fine. Tomorrow is the last day for me anyway. If I lose, I will disappear. And if I win, I don’t think Timmy will continue with this place since there won’t be any other Aura user coming. Prepare yourself, Roy. I’ll show you how strong I really am!” Bearded Baldy claimed.

“Well, that’s only if I return tomorrow. Anyway, that’s it for today. I’ll return when I’m prepared to fight. See ya!”

“Wait! Come back here tomorrow, okay! Promise me that you will come tomorrow!” Bearded Baldy shouted.

I just ignored him as I left using my portal along with Kayla and the others who were watching. For my fractured ribs, there were some pieces of the bones hurting my lung. I need surgery from Sophie later.

But before I could ask for it, my other two monsters, Shelia and Graham, approached me with a request.

“What is it?” I asked the two.

“Master, will you let us fight him tomorrow? We want to test our combined strength against him,” Graham asked.

“Two against one? Well, that’s fine. I’ll be counting on you then. And I will make you retreat if I see any of you is in danger,” I said.

The two then nodded and left to train before facing Bearded Baldy. As for me, I entered operating room with Sophie as my surgeon.
