Chapter 580: Calling All My Familiars to Fight

“All that effort for a thumb,” Timmy said as if it was something small that doesn’t bother him at all.

“Well then, you tell me when was the last time you can grip your katana without using your thumb? And it’s the thumb of your dominant hand as well. Even if you’re strong, you have no choice but to adjust your the way you hold your weapon, right? Using an unfamiliar method, even if I’m weaker than you, it should be difficult. How about I cut off your other thumb as well?” I provoked Timmy even further.

Like usual, I provoked my opponent so that his move will be more predictable. But this is Timmy I’m fighting right now.

I still haven’t seen how strong he is, but he should have a lot of experiences. Only someone who went through a lot of obstacles can be called the strongest. And some of those obstacles could be from someone like me in the past. Someone who would use anything, including provoking him, so they can win against Timmy. But since Timmy got called as the strongest in that era, it means they all failed.

Cutting Timmy’s thumb is obviously not enough. He’s still strong even if he has to change his way of fighting. His grip on his katana should be weaker, but even if I use my full strength, I still won’t be able to easily disarm him.

I gained some distance from Timmy after throwing his thumb away, and transformed Victoria into a gun. And this gun is different than usual.

It’s what Victoria called as machine gun. A gun that can rapidly shoot many bullets in a row.

.....

I didn’t just trained my Aura and fighting skill so far. I also trained my air element magic even though its level hasn’t improved yet.

My magic control has become much better now and I can repeatedly create air compression, burst it, and repeat it over and over again without using much mana even though I’m still an advanced level air mage.

And it’s something that Victoria told me about. A gun that can shoot many bullets in a row. A machine gun. Though there’s no machine at all that is used.

With my strength, I don’t need to care about the recoil of the air burst. And I can shoot around one hundred and twenty bullets in a minute now. That’s a lot. About two bullets in a second. That’s the limit right now.

I shot hundreds of bullets toward Timmy, but he blocked them all with just his katana. Even though his thumb was removed, his katana movement is still so fast and so swift as he could block all hundreds of bullets without moving a step.

But those were all Blobbybullets. I have other ways to use them than just for shooting.

I opened a portal right in front of me toward a Blobbybullet that was blocked and still close enough to his position. Which makes me aimed at Timmy with just less than one meter distance from his right, while there are still bullets coming at him from his front.

When I shot more bullets, two bullets aimed were coming at him at the same time and he has to block both of them. But that is still not a problem for Timmy.

He released his right hand from the handle of his katana, and used his index finger to alter the trajectory of the bullets coming from the portal, while his left hand is still blocking the previous bullets with the katana.

Timmy is using Mind’s Eye to see the bullets coming at him. Something I learned from Mona.

There were some other ancient Aura users who learned about Mind’s Eye. That’s why I wasn’t surprised that the Aura Master can do it.

Mind’s Eye is not something that only Aura user can learn. In fact, anyone can learn it as well. But using it will consume too much stamina and mental strength, and only Aura users have that much stamina and still able to move well.

As for mages, since they rarely fight in close range with their own body, not many of them could learn it. But some still managed to do it.

And some of them are my own allies. Obviously, the first one who learned Mind’s Eye among our group other than me was Jewel. She’s the one who fought close combat more than the others thanks to her beastform. And although she is not as good as me in using Mind’s Eye to see the surrounding, it will help her a lot.

Well, there might be more of us who will learn Mind’s Eye in the future. But I don’t know if the cult will wait for us to get stronger or not.

Even with his Mind’s Eye and experience, I don’t think he would expect what will happen next.

I keep opening portals after portals to make Timmy unable to predict where I will shoot from and where it will hit. He can only react after the bullets got close to him. That’s what I can tell right now.

And without him expecting it, I summoned Shelia right away to have her help me fighting Timmy. Our coordination is great. But we still unable to hit Timmy properly after I cut off his thumb. He either parried or block our attacks.

It’s weird. He hasn’t attacked yet. And he only blocked our attacks. There are still too many things that he kept hidden.

What is his Aura ability? And does he have other element than earth?

If he decided to use magic, or use Aura ability, I might end up losing. I need to take care of him fast.

And I got another help from the sky. Graham is shooting at Timmy with his light magic. He also used the sun to make a huge shadow of himself, and creates five giant shadow clones to help us fighting Timmy.

Graham has been standing by in the sky since before I wake up this morning. I told him to do it last night.

With Graham, his clones, and Shelia attacking Timmy, I retreated and stopped shooting anymore. I grabbed some mana potions and drink them all, and I started observing Timmy’s move now that he is being surrounded.

Shelia and Graham have grown much stronger. They couldn’t even be compared to their past selves. Even Shelia is now much stronger than Grandpa Werewolf.

But they are still weaker than me. They were having trouble fighting against Timmy since he could easily block their attacks.

I observed Timmy’s moves, and he just calmly standing there and blocked the attacks. He even looked at me knowing that I’m just observing him, and smiled. So, I waved my hand.

“Timmy, you haven’t told me yet if you have other elements you can use or not. Can you tell me?” I asked Timmy in the middle of the fight..

“Do you know the most dangerous thing in a battle?” Timmy asked me back instead.

The most dangerous things? Of course I know. It’s not the strongest opponent, or the manpower they have. It’s always the same thing.

“The unknown. Even if what they keep hidden for so long is something weak, since it’s something unknown, I could even lose my life if I’m not careful,” I replied.

“Oh... I always thought that if the opponent is stronger, they are the most dangerous. I guess you’re right about that,” Timmy said.

“...Fuck. The only reason you said that because you never fight someone strong as the weaker one. Whether they have something unknown or not, you are always the stronger one and win easily. Do I have any chance in winning,” I asked myself.

“I actually want to tell you about my other element. But since you’re thinking that something unknown to you is the most dangerous, I will keep it to myself for now. This way, you will be more wary of me,” Timmy said as he blocked Shelia’s attack.

“Shit. I gave the wrong answer,” I said.

“Rather than the wrong answer, your answer was totally correct that I need to change my mind,” Timmy said calmly.

“Shut up! I’m regretting my answer right now!”

If only I said the wrong answer, he would have told me about his other element. But now, he keeps it hidden.

I don’t think it’s a decision that he could make right away. Must be because he wanted to test me instead.

He actually wanted to keep his other skills hidden from me. But he used my answer as the reason to do that..

Because if not, he would be extremely dangerous. He can make a split-second decision that will cause me trouble.

“Then, can you at least tell me your Aura ability?” I asked.

“That’s also a secret. Good luck in finding all the unknown,” Timmy said as he blocked Graham’s light magic.

Oh, he can also block magic. I can only cut them through instead of blocking. I think I’ll watch a little bit more before joining Shelia and Graham.

Shelia, Graham, and Graham’s five shadow clones were all fighting Timmy. But Timmy still didn’t move at all from his spot as he blocked their attacks.

And I just stand there recovering my stamina, and see what more I can learn from the Aura Master.
